The End of an Era! Semianalysis: Without Jensen Huang, Nvidia Will Become the Next Apple
Semianalysis believes that Jensen Huang’s departure marks the end of a founder-driven era. Nvidia is highly likely to replicate the "post-Steve Jobs Apple model"—shifting from aggressive bets to stock buybacks—which is not beneficial for either technological advancement or shareholders. A greater concern is that the supply chain advantages, customer trust system, and open-source ecosystem moat personally built by Jensen Huang will be difficult for his successor to replicate. By 2028, over 70% of total production capacity may shift to non-Nvidia players.

Jensen Huang out, Nvidia's $500 billion AI financing plan is also in jeopardy
The AI financing platform led by Jensen Huang has seen zero transactions since its high-profile launch in August. The core issue lies in Nvidia's guarantee rate of only 25%, which is significantly lower than competitor Broadcom's maximum of 72.5%, resulting in little interest from lenders. Analysts believe that, having lost its visionary leader and facing pressure from Wall Street to assume more risk, the project is unlikely to be implemented any time soon.
