CEO exits sent these stocks up 24% and down 33% in Q2
I went through some of the biggest stock moves around CEO departures last quarter. The range was pretty wild.
**Down (1D)**
* $FTCI: -33.20%
* $SMWB: -8.95%
* $SARO: -8.11%
* $CPRT: -8.02%
* $POOL: -7.97%
* $CODI: -7.69%
**Up (1D)**
* $IART: +24.13%
* $EMOTF: +17.84%
* $GGRP: +15.95%
* $RES: +11.46%
A few of these had other news attached too. FTC Solar reported earnings at the same time, so the CEO change probably wasn’t the only reason it dropped 33%.
Integra moved after former CEO Stuart Essig came back. Glimpse Group also paired its CEO change with a move into physical AI infrastructure software.
Seems like CEO news matters more when it points to a bigger problem or an actual shift in the business. If it’s just a planned handoff, there usually isn’t much to trade.
