NVIDIA Watch posted an update
Nvidia’s board has not selected a search firm to find a permanent successor to Jensen Huang, the board told CNBC. That adds a useful qualification to recent reporting that a search for Huang’s replacement was under way.
Why it mattersThe update is about the search process, not a named candidate or a timetable. It offers no further detail on what steps the board has taken. For a company at the centre of the AI-chip market, even the shape of its succession planning matters.
Discuss: Is it more reassuring for Nvidia to keep its search process quiet, or should investors expect clearer signals about leadership continuity?

NVIDIA Watch Update What changedCNBC says Nvidia’s board told it that directors are in the process of selecting a search firm for the chief executive role. The board has not selected a firm yet.
The board also told CNBC it has not formally engaged any potential candidates. That clarifies the stage of the process: the search infrastructure is being considered, but candidate discussions have not formally begun.
For investors watching leadership continuity at a major AI-chip company, this is a useful distinction, not a succession timetable. No candidate or timing is identified in the reported update.
