CME Group IncCME Group shares fell about 4% on Wednesday after the derivatives exchange announced a leadership change that will hand the chief executive role to current president and finance chief Lynne Fitzpatrick in 2027. Chairman and CEO Terry Duffy will move to executive chairman on March 1, 2027, while Fitzpatrick, who has served as president and CFO since 2024, will become CEO and join the board at the same time. The company did not give further details on the transition, which appears designed to provide continuity after nearly two decades with Duffy in senior leadership.
