Tech stock futures are falling before the bell on Thursday, November 12, after The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's board is preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang, CNBC said. Nvidia fell 7.32% by 6:50 a.m. ET, a drop of about $306 billion in market value. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.7% by 6:21 a.m. ET, CNBC reported.

The short answer. Nvidia lost about $306 billion of market value before the open, after The Wall Street Journal reported that its board is preparing to remove Jensen Huang, CNBC said. Nvidia is part of the Nasdaq 100, so funds that track that index hold it, and Nasdaq 100 futures fell while Dow futures were about flat, CNBC reported. The table below lists the results, outlooks and other news that smaller movers such as AEVEX, YETI and Corteva released overnight and this morning.

MSCI's November 11 index review also deletes it from the MSCI USA Index (MSCI list).
YETI (YETI)-8.86%, pre-market, 6:46 a.m. ETIt cut its 2026 outlook to adjusted sales growth of about 6%, from 7% to 8%, and adjusted earnings per share of $2.90 to $2.95, from $2.94 to $3.00, citing a more cautious consumer (release).

The deepest fall on StockTitan's pre-market board belongs to Kanzhun (BZ), which fell 17.15% by 6:49 a.m. ET.

PepGen priced its new shares at $5.00, below Wednesday's close of $5.26 (PepGen release).

Strategy's news is an index change. MSCI's list deletes it from the MSCI USA Index as of the November 30 close. Funds that track an index stop holding the stocks it drops, which is a likely reason such a deletion weighs on a share price. Reuters reported that Strategy fell after MSCI's decision.

Why is Nvidia stock down today?

Nvidia fell before the bell after The Wall Street Journal reported that its board is preparing to remove its chief executive, CNBC said. In its own statement of November 8, the board said it has confidence in him.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday evening that Nvidia's board is preparing to remove CEO Jensen Huang, CNBC said. Nvidia fell 8.61% in after-hours trading by 7:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, as StockTitan's November 11 market coverage reported. The board met to decide whether to remove Huang, CNBC reported on Thursday morning.

The company's own words come from its board, and its two statements came before the report. On November 8 it said it was opening an independent investigation in light of recent reporting about Huang. A committee of independent directors with outside counsel runs it. It said Huang supports the review and that "The Board has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team." It also said it will give further updates as appropriate (Nvidia board statement). On November 10, the independent directors said they had retained outside counsel to conduct that investigation (independent directors' statement).

Investors fret over the fallout of any leadership change at the company central to the AI boom, Reuters reported. Nvidia's pre-market price of $161.02 at 6:50 a.m. ET is about a third below its October 6 record close of $239.24, which StockTitan's Nvidia article covers.

Other AI stocks moved both ways. CoreWeave, which rents out computing power for AI, fell 7.17% by 6:49 a.m. ET, a day after it closed 24.71% higher in its first session after its results (CoreWeave results article). AMD rose 2.74% by 6:50 a.m. ET and Broadcom 1.83% by 6:46 a.m. ET.

Chip stocks abroad fell first. SK Hynix, TSMC and Advantest fell in Asia, and ASML lost 3% in Europe, CNBC reported.
