The legal filing alleges that Nvidia misled investors by portraying the chief executive's meetings with former Megaspeed executive Alice Huang as standard customer interactions rather than a personal affair with an alleged foreign operative. While Donald Trump indicated the CEO was unaware of any espionage connection, the complaint also targets Nvidia's commercial dealings with Megaspeed amid scrutiny over potential chip diversions to China. Seeking unspecified damages, the class action follows the company's launch of an independent investigation into reports that its leadership was targeted by foreign intelligence.

Nvidia and its chief executive, Jensen Huang, have been accused of misleading shareholders in a lawsuit over the Chinese spying scandal engulfing the $4.3tn (£3.2tn) company.
The legal action came as Donald Trump said the FBI was investigating Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy.
According to a complaint filed in federal court in California, Nvidia and Huang misled shareholders in connection with the executive’s alleged affair with Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based Megaspeed, who is not related to him.
The lawsuit claims both parties did not disclose that the matter raised national security concerns that threatened the chipmaker’s reputation and business prospects.
The New York Times reported on the alleged relationship last month, and said US authorities had concluded Alice Huang was a Chinese intelligence asset.
Nvidia described its executive’s interaction with Alice Huang as “not unusual or unexpected” in a comment submitted to the New York Times last month, adding that “meetings with customers are part of a CEO’s job; Jensen talks with thousands of customer executives every year”.

Sustained supply chain bottlenecks, tariffs, and growing consumer demand for premium trims continue to pressure buyers nationwide.
