Currys CEO Alex Baldock is stepping down after eight years at the helm to pursue a new opportunity. Despite the news causing shares to drop 11%, the company remains on track to meet its profit guidance of £180–190 million for the year ending May 2026, with strong sales during the Christmas period. Baldock will stay on to ensure a smooth transition as the board searches for a successor.
