Polymarket traders briefly put the odds of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigning or being removed by year-end above 88%, with a peak of 90.5%, after a Nov. 11, 2026, New York Times report about a relationship with a subordinate. Those betting odds are not a decision by Nvidia’s board. The Times said Kimberly Powell reports directly to Huang; Nvidia and Powell declined to comment, while Huang did not answer its question about the relationship.
The source says Nvidia’s board has launched an independent investigation, and that some reports say directors are weighing Huang’s removal ahead of the company’s Nov. 17 earnings report. It also reports that Nvidia shares fell nearly 10%. U.S. intelligence officials have alleged that a woman named in a separate affair acted as a Chinese intelligence asset; Beijing has denied the accusation.
