AutoZone CFO Jamere Jackson Exits Nov. 25 for FedEx CFO Role
AZO sits 17% above its 52-week low of $2,730.65.
Summary
CFO Jamere Jackson resigned effective November 25, 2026, to become CFO of FedEx. AutoZone has started an external search for his successor, and VP and Controller J. Scott Murphy will serve as principal financial and accounting officer during that search. The company says the finance team will maintain continuity, with management reaffirming its FY2027 track. No successor is named, so the transition carries uncertainty for a company that just posted Q4 FY2026 EPS of $56.05, up 15% year-over-year, on 5.6% sales growth. The departure is framed as a career move, not performance-related, but a CFO vacancy at a $52B-cap retailer is a real governance item until a credible replacement is announced.
