Finance chief steps down, stock slips

SharonAI's finance boss agreed to resign, with his last day set for late August, and the stock dropped about 8% on the news. When we looked back at similar departures, we found 109 times this played out; on average the stock lagged the market by about 4% over the next three months, and it beat the market less than half the time. That leaves us cautious here.

What would change this — A fresh 8-K naming a strong permanent replacement, or signs of insiders buying shares, would soften our caution.
