Nvidia Slips 1% After Warren Summons Huang on China AI Chip Sales

Summary
Nvidia shares fell 1% after hours after Sen. Elizabeth Warren invited CEO Jensen Huang to testify at a June 11 Senate Banking Committee hearing on the company’s China business and compliance with U.S. export controls.
Monday is Huang’s deadline to confirm attendance, with Warren saying the appearance would let Nvidia explain its views on export-control rules and its operations in China.
China once generated 13% to 20% of Nvidia revenue before U.S. curbs tightened in 2023, but bans on top AI chips pushed the company toward lower-performance products such as the H20.
That China business has remained volatile: Nvidia booked a $4.5 billion fiscal-2026 charge tied to H20 inventory after new licensing rules, even as the Commerce Department later allowed some shipments to resume.
The scrutiny comes weeks after Huang joined President Donald Trump on a Beijing trip and amid broader bipartisan concern that advanced U.S. AI chips could still reach China through third countries.
Are U.S. export controls on AI chips actually working, or just fueling a high-tech black market?
With smuggling rampant, can Nvidia's CEO credibly claim compliance while avoiding a public hearing?

Overview
Nvidia is under intense scrutiny as the Senate Banking Committee prepares a hearing to examine its business practices, especially its operations in China and compliance with U.S. export controls. Prompted by Senator Elizabeth Warren, who criticized CEO Jensen Huang’s reluctance to testify, lawmakers are set to question how Nvidia balances commercial opportunities with tightening export restrictions. The hearing will focus on Nvidia’s strategies for adapting its products to maintain access to the Chinese market, highlighting the company’s central role in ongoing debates about national security, technology leadership, and the challenges of navigating complex global regulations.
