Nvidia board meets to decide Huang’s fate, seeks successor

The board's decision to engage outside firms for successor vetting — including an interim option — signals contingency planning beyond a routine review, which is why markets are repricing leadership risk rather than treating this as a personal matter. The after-hours move and the sharp shift in prediction-market odds show how quickly a governance question at a single company can become a sentiment event for the broader AI trade. What matters next is whether the board's process produces clarity quickly or drags on; a prolonged vacuum around the CEO role is the variable worth watching.
