Nvidia vs Alphabet: Which Stock Will Outperform in 2026?

Dr. Andrea Adams-Miller Examines What Recent CEO Changes Reveal About Leadership Risk in Today’s Market

12/22/2025 07:52 PM • Dr. Andrea Adams-Miller analyzes the rise in CEO turnover (up 9% year-on-year through Q3 2025) as a warning sign of deeper organizational issues rather than isolated leadership failures. She argues that leadership changes reflect systemic governance challenges, decision-making breakdowns, and misalignment that accumulate over time under market pressure. The analysis suggests that early recognition of leadership strain signals—such as slower decision cycles and eroded internal confidence—is critical for risk management, particularly as organizations navigate complexity driven by economic uncertainty and AI transformation.

LYB - Producing advanced recycled and renewable-based polymers to promote circular economy
MSFT - Microsoft is cited as an example of a major technology company implementing strategic leadership alignment around AI initiatives. The reference is illustrative rather than evaluative—it demonstrates how boards are enforcing strategic cohesion without implying negative or positive performance implications for the company itself.

Is Sprinklr Stock a Buy or Sell After Its CEO Dumped Nearly 70,000 Shares in the Company?

12/22/2025 06:30 PM • Sprinklr CEO Rory Read sold 68,673 shares (3.6% of direct holdings) on December 16, 2025, for approximately $534,276. The sale is not considered alarming as Read retains 1.8 million shares and may have been locking in gains. While Sprinklr's business shows solid growth with 9% YoY revenue increase, its stock has declined over recent years despite AI positioning. The analyst suggests the stock is neither a clear buy nor sell at current valuations.

VEOEY - Provides comprehensive plastic recycling solutions from waste collection to raw material production
CXM - The CEO's insider sale is characterized as non-alarming and potentially profit-taking. While the company demonstrates solid revenue growth (9% YoY) and profitability, its stock has underperformed despite AI positioning. The analyst concludes it's a solid company but not compelling at current valuations, warranting a neutral stance for both current and prospective investors.
