The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite edged higher in Thursday morning trading as chip shares recovered from an earlier selloff after Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) Chief Executive Jensen Huang resigned.
The rebound followed an unsettled start for technology stocks, with investors weighing the effect of a leadership change at one of the industry's most prominent companies. Chip shares helped both indexes regain ground, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average also advanced despite renewed concern about Iran.

The market's move came amid wider debate over whether enthusiasm for artificial intelligence can continue to support economic growth. Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, said a slowdown in AI posed the biggest risk to the economy and growth heading into 2027.
Long described November as a difficult period for the sector, pointing to midterm-election tensions, opposition to data center projects and Huang's departure. Her comments suggest that concerns around AI extend beyond one company's leadership, with investors also watching the technology's broader economic and political backdrop.
