Nvidia’s next CEO: Some prediction market traders bet Jensen Huang will make a comeback
Nvidia faces big risks because it has no succession plan and 60 executives report to Huang.
Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia's chief executive, but certain traders on the prediction market Kalshi are placing bets that he may return as the company's next permanent CEO before 2029. Although Nvidia has not yet announced a permanent successor to a key figure in the AI industry, some industry insiders consider Huang irreplaceable.
On Kalshi, the odds of Nvidia naming Huang as their next CEO by the end of 2028 reached up to 15% on November 13, before dropping to around 7%. Among the other executives considered for the position are Ian Buck, Colette Kress, and Rene Haas, among others. Huang's departure has left uncertainty in the AI industry and may prompt investors to reassess the company's future reliance on Huang's leadership.
