⚡️Probability of "no change" for Nvidia CEO rises to 29%, overtaking two internal candidates to temporarily rank first
BlockBeats news, November 12: According to Polymarket data, in the "Nvidia's next CEO" prediction market, the probability of the "no change" option for Jensen Huang rose from 19% earlier to 29%, ranking first. Ian Buck, Vice President of Nvidia's High Performance Computing business, fell to second place with 25%, and Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress ranked third with 23.3%.
According to the rules, "no change" means that Nvidia has not announced a formal successor before 23:59 on December 31, 2028 Eastern Time; interim CEOs are not counted. Therefore, even if Jensen Huang steps down, as long as Nvidia only appoints an interim CEO within the deadline, this option can still win. The 29% is the implied probability of "no formal successor announced," not the probability of Jensen Huang staying on in the short term.
