The largest public companies in the U.S. are currently switching CEOs at a record pace, with many favoring younger and less experienced appointees over older heads, according to new research.
Roughly one in nine corporate CEOs were replaced at 1,500 of the biggest publicly-traded businesses over the course of 2025, the highest rate of turnover since 2010 when the economy was recovering from the previous year’s financial crash, The Wall Street Journal reports.
