Nvidia Traders Speculate on Successors Following Jensen Huang's Resignation
Nvidia (NVDA) co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang has resigned following reports of personal misconduct involving two affairs, one of which allegedly involved an individual identified by U.S. intelligence as a Chinese spy. The resignation follows an internal investigation launched by Nvidia's board of directors into these relationships. On the prediction market platform Kalshi, traders are currently speculating on Huang's successor. Ian Buck, VP of hyperscale and high-performance computing, is viewed as having a 35% probability of taking the role, while CFO Colette Kress holds a 29% chance. The sudden leadership vacuum has caused significant volatility in Nvidia's stock, which saw intraday drops as high as 14.4%.
