Why it moves the price
The CFO signs off on the numbers. An unexplained exit raises the perceived probability of an accounting problem, which widens the risk premium investors demand.
What separates a good call from a naive one
A planned retirement with a named internal successor is usually a non-event. The damaging version is sudden, effective-immediately, with vague language or clustered with an auditor change or a delayed filing — that combination is a serious red flag.
Measured impact
