Profile

Nvidia Corporation is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California. It develops graphics processing units (GPUs), systems on chips and software interfaces for data science, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence and automotive uses. Its products include the GeForce and RTX graphics cards and the CUDA computing platform. The company says it engineers chips, systems and software for AI.

Nvidia was founded on 5 April 1993 by Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem. Huang is its chief executive and president. The company went public on 22 January 1999 and trades on Nasdaq as NVDA. In 2020 it announced a plan to buy Arm for 40 billion US dollars, and the deal was abandoned in February 2022 after regulatory challenges. On 29 October 2025 it became the first company to reach a market value of 5 trillion US dollars.

Nvidia is in the news because its board announced on 8 November 2026 that independent directors, working with outside legal counsel, will conduct an investigation. This followed reports that Huang was targeted by a possible Chinese spy operation. The board said it has no reason to believe that national security or company secrets were compromised, and that Huang supports the review and will cooperate with it.
