Jensen Huang's Affair Shakes Nvidia. Micron, Tesla and SpaceX Are at a Crossroads. My Four Stocks to Watch This Week.
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ $Micron Technology(MU)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $SpaceX(SPCX)$
Wall Street is about to face a very unusual trading week.
Just when investors thought the worst of the AI selloff might be behind us, Nvidia has another problem.
And this time?
IT ISN'T ABOUT AI DEMAND.
It's about leadership.
Nvidia closed Friday at:
$186.64.
But overnight trading indicated another decline of approximately:
4%.
Meanwhile, Friday's recovery showed:
MU: +5.12%
TSLA: +4.23%
SPCX: +8.62%
So are we entering another round of AI selling?
Or will investors separate the companies with real demand from those facing company-specific risks?
I think that distinction could determine this week's biggest opportunities.
🚨 FIRST, JENSEN HUANG'S CONTROVERSY IS MORE THAN A PERSONAL HEADLINE
On November 8, Nvidia announced an independent board investigation following reports that CEO Jensen Huang may have been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort.
Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife and accepted responsibility for his actions.
But the investigation concerns something potentially more serious.
CORPORATE SECURITY AND GOVERNANCE.
Media reports have raised allegations involving a businesswoman linked to a company that purchased Nvidia chips.
Importantly, Nvidia's board says it currently has no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised.
That is reassuring.
But it is NOT the same as a completed investigation.
And this is where I think investors should focus.
Not on the details of Huang's private relationship.
But on:
Whether sensitive information was protected.
Whether corporate safeguards worked.
Whether leadership can remain focused.
And whether customers and regulators retain confidence.
Huang has been central to Nvidia's AI strategy.
That makes him a tremendous asset.
But it also creates:
KEY-PERSON RISK.
If the investigation concludes without finding security failures, the governance discount could diminish.
If it uncovers weaknesses, the implications could extend beyond reputation to regulatory scrutiny and management continuity.
Either way, it introduces uncertainty at a difficult moment.
And remember.
NVIDIA REPORTS EARNINGS ON NOVEMBER 17.
Management previously guided Q3 revenue toward:
$108 BILLION.
That is extraordinary.
But I think investors now need two forms of reassurance.
STRONG EARNINGS.
AND STRONG GOVERNANCE.
🔥 MY NVIDIA TRADING VIEW
Friday close:
$186.64.
My key reference levels:
$180–$182: Immediate support watch.
$190–$195: First recovery test.
Above $200: Stronger bullish confirmation.
Below $178: Risk of another move toward $170–$175.
I expect the stock to remain headline-sensitive until the board provides greater clarity.
And I wouldn't automatically buy the first dip.
A brilliant business can still experience valuation compression when investors become uncertain about leadership.
🧠 MICRON: IS MEMORY THE BETTER AI RECOVERY TRADE?
This is where things become interesting.
Micron closed Friday at:
$690.
After plunging:
17.46%
the previous day.
Yet its latest quarterly financial results were extraordinary.
Revenue:
$54.23 BILLION.
And management's next-quarter revenue guidance:
$61.5 BILLION ± $1.5B.
The underlying reason?
AI systems need increasingly sophisticated memory.
HBM.
Server DRAM.
High-capacity storage.
And faster data movement.
Nvidia may dominate AI accelerators.
But AI computing also depends on memory.
GPUS CANNOT OPERATE EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT THE MEMORY SYSTEMS SUPPORTING THEM.
This creates an important possibility.
If Nvidia's governance issues remain company-specific rather than disrupting GPU shipments?
Memory suppliers could recover as investors refocus on industry demand.
But if tighter regulation or delayed data-centre construction reduces AI equipment deployment?
Micron could suffer too.
So I wouldn't call MU immune to Nvidia's problems.
My levels:
$650–$660: Critical support watch.
$700–$725: First recovery test.
Above $760: Stronger momentum confirmation.
Below $650: Higher downside risk.
Of these four companies?
MU IS MY PREFERRED FUNDAMENTAL RECOVERY WATCH.
But I want price confirmation before making an aggressive entry.
🚀 TESLA AND SPACEX: TWO DIFFERENT BETS ON ELON MUSK
Tesla finished Friday at:
$358.22.
SpaceX:
$134.27.
Both rebounded sharply following Thursday's selloff.
But their investment cases are very different.
🔵 TESLA: AUTONOMY MUST BECOME PROFIT
Tesla's Robotaxi ambitions remain substantial.
But its latest reported operating margin was only:
2.6%.
That creates a tension.
The stock is valued partly on the future of autonomy and robotics.
Yet the current automotive business must continue helping fund that future.
What would strengthen my conviction?
More driverless operating approvals.
Better Robotaxi utilisation.
Stronger automotive cash generation.
And evidence that autonomy is becoming commercially profitable.
My trading levels:
Above $365–$375: Improving recovery setup.
$340–$365: Main battle zone.
Below $338: Risk of $320–$330.
For now, I prefer confirmation over chasing Friday's rebound.
🟣 SPACEX: SCARCITY COULD BECOME AN ADVANTAGE
SpaceX's AI computing strategy faces a different challenge.
Power availability.
Data-centre construction.
Regulatory approvals.
Enormous capital spending.
But restricting new computing capacity could make existing capacity more valuable if demand remains strong.
That is the bull case.
The risk?
SpaceX itself may face delays and higher costs.
Its Super Intelligence business reported quarterly capital expenditure of approximately:
$16.44 BILLION.
So the question is not simply whether SpaceX can secure more AI customers.
It's whether the revenue generated can justify that investment.
My key levels:
Above $140–$142: Stronger recovery confirmation.
$128–$142: Main trading range.
Below $128: Risk of retesting $120–$124.
I would also monitor Musk's latest growth ambitions against actual operating and financial progress.
Because:
AN AMBITIOUS TARGET IS NOT A GUARANTEED RETURN.
🔮 MY THREE MARKET SCENARIOS: NOVEMBER 9–13
Subjective probabilities for this week.
🟢 BULL CASE: 30%
Nvidia's governance concerns stabilise.
AI demand remains strong.
Inflation data supports risk appetite.
Micron and the wider semiconductor sector recover.
Potential upside zones:
NVDA: $195–$205
MU: $725–$760
TSLA: $375–$392
SPCX: $142–$155
🟡 BASE CASE: 45%
MY MOST LIKELY SCENARIO.
Nvidia remains under pressure from investigation-related uncertainty.
Other AI stocks attempt selective recoveries.
Investors remain cautious ahead of CPI, PPI and earnings.
Working ranges:
NVDA: $175–$195
MU: $650–$725
TSLA: $340–$375
SPCX: $128–$142
I expect sharp two-way moves rather than a clean rally.
🔴 BEAR CASE: 25%
Governance concerns intensify.
AI infrastructure selling resumes.
Inflation data pressures growth-stock valuations.
Potential downside:
NVDA: $165–$175
MU: $610–$650
TSLA: $320–$340
SPCX: $120–$128
These ranges are conditional estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.
📅 THREE EVENTS I AM WATCHING
November 10: US CPI
November 13: US PPI
November 17: NVIDIA EARNINGS
There is also a requested congressional briefing with Huang on November 18, introducing another potential governance catalyst.
And this week's CoreWeave and Nebius earnings could offer additional evidence about the economics of AI infrastructure spending.
🎯 MY ACTUAL TRADING PLAN
For me, the most interesting watchlist is:
MU: My preferred memory recovery candidate, provided $650 holds and buying strength returns.
NVDA: A phenomenal business facing unusual governance uncertainty. I want clarity and price stabilisation.
TSLA: I want proof that the Robotaxi opportunity is translating into better economics.
SPCX: I like the AI infrastructure opportunity, but its enormous capital intensity deserves respect.
I wouldn't buy all four simply because they've fallen.
They are different businesses.
But they are connected through the same AI investment cycle and market risk appetite.
🔥 MY CALL: THE AI TRADE ISN'T OVER. THE MARKET IS RAISING ITS STANDARDS.
This week's most important lesson may be that investors are no longer willing to pay extraordinary valuations based only on visionary leadership and future promises.
For Nvidia?
LEADERSHIP MUST INSPIRE CONFIDENCE.
For Micron?
MEMORY DEMAND MUST SUPPORT PRICING AND EARNINGS.
For Tesla?
AUTONOMY MUST GENERATE PROFITS.
For SpaceX?
COMPUTING CAPACITY MUST JUSTIFY CAPITAL SPENDING.
Four different tests.
One common theme.
THE MARKET WANTS PROOF.
I still believe the AI opportunity is substantial.
But this is where I become selective.
Because the best recovery trade may not be the stock with the most exciting story.
It may be the one where:
FUNDAMENTALS REMAIN STRONG WHILE PRICE EXPECTATIONS HAVE RESET.
For now?
My first watch is Micron.
My biggest headline risk is Nvidia.
And my approach remains:
DON'T CHASE THE FIRST GREEN CANDLE.
WAIT FOR THE MARKET TO SHOW WHO THE REAL BUYERS ARE.
I am not a financial advisor. Trade wisely, Comrades!
Which would you pick this week: NVDA after the leadership controversy, MU for the memory recovery, TSLA for Robotaxi, or SPCX for AI computing?
