Prime number: 1 in 9 CEOs were replaced last year

A chill just ran through your company’s nicest corner office, and it’s not because the custodian left the window open overnight. According to a Wall Street Journal analysis, about one in nine CEOs was replaced among 1,500 of the biggest public companies last year:

  • That’s the highest rate of turnover since 2010, following the financial crisis.
  • It’s not slowing down. Already in 2026, companies with a combined value of $2.2 trillion have changed leaders, including Walmart, Disney, Lululemon, and PayPal.

Companies have cited a potpourri of reasons for their c-suite swaps, from AI to tariffs to economic and geopolitical uncertainty. They’re turning to younger (and greener) execs to fix their problems: Per the WSJ, incoming CEOs are 54-years-old on average, while more than 80% of last year’s crop were first-timers.
