Home Depot CEO Decker is Taking a Medical Leave of Absence. It's One Reason Why the Stock is Falling.

Dow Jones

Aug 12

Home Depot shares sank on Wednesday after the company announced that CEO Ted Decker was taking a temporary leave of medical absence.

Decker, a nearly three-decade veteran of the company, is expected to return in the next few months, management said, while remaining tight-lipped about the reasons behind his medical leave.

The 63-year-old assumed the company's top role in 2022. In his absence, operations will be led by Chief Financial Officer Richard McPhail and Ann-Marie Campbell, senior vice president of U.S. stores and operations. The company noted in a financial filing that McPhail and Campbell's pay structures will remain the same.

Home Depot stock fell 2.5% on Wednesday, making it one of the worst performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The move followed a broader slump in housing stocks, with the iShares U.S. Home Construction exchange-traded fund down 2.3% and peer Lowe's down 2.6%.
