Huida CEO Huang Renxun had an extramarital affair with Megaspeed executive Huang Le, and was suspected of being involved in Chinese espionage. Huida announced on the 12th that Huang Renxun had resigned as president, CEO and board member.

Bernstein cut his price target in half to $200, and analysts warned that his departure could cause the stock price to fall by 20%.
