Jane Street doubles Nvidia stake ahead of CEO scandal

Jane Street, a prominent quantitative trading firm, significantly increased its holdings in Nvidia during the third quarter, more than doubling its stake to approximately $5.44 billion. This move occurred shortly before Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, resigned amid allegations of extramarital affairs and potential foreign espionage, which caused a notable drop in Nvidia's stock price. The regulatory filings do not specify the exact purchase timing or the firm's profit/loss on these Nvidia investments, and also do not account for potential short positions or complex options trading strategies that could alter the firm's net exposure.
