Prediction market traders see Nvidia veteran Ian Buck as the most likely permanent successor to Jensen Huang, who resigned as CEO on Thursday. On Kalshi, Buck, who leads Nvidia’s hyperscale and high-performance computing business, has a 35% chance of being named the next chief executive. Colette Kress, the company’s chief financial officer and current interim CEO, trails at 29%. Buck is widely known as the creator of CUDA, the software platform that helped make Nvidia’s chips the standard for AI development. The contract will be settled based on news reports of Nvidia’s final choice. The board has said it will consider both internal and external candidates, with Apple hardware chief Johny Srouji also mentioned in reports. Nvidia shares were recently down a little over 10% after falling as much as 14.4% earlier in the session.
