"Yeah. So, it CEO Doug McMillan announced this morning that he is planning to step down in February after four decades with Walmart and 11 years as a CEO. Uh he will be replaced by John Ferner who had been heading Walmart US and he's kind of been assumed to be the one who would take over. So shares were down earlier today which shows that investors were rattled by the news because there's clearly a lot to do right now with uh right now you know there's AI, there's the economy, there's automation kind of affecting workers."

The update on Walmart focuses on the announcement of CEO Doug McMillan's departure in February, with a new leadership transition underway amid investor concerns driven by broader market and technological challenges.
