- Greifeld questions the board’s succession planning and trust in Huang.
- Long chip timelines could give a new CEO time to set direction.

## Summary

The article reports analysts’ reactions to Jensen Huang’s departure from Nvidia, with Nasdaq’s Adena Friedman describing it as “a dark day for Nvidia”. The change matters because Huang has been central to the company, and analysts are weighing the board’s succession planning and how a new leader might affect its direction.

Greifeld criticised the board’s succession planning and said it needs to establish whether Huang had repeatedly misled directors, while acknowledging his value to Nvidia. He said the shares do not trade at a premium, so he sees no valuation bubble to burst. A successor could take time to settle in: existing chip development plans and long customer relationships would give the company room to manoeuvre.
