The orderly CEO transition is unlikely to significantly impact Newmark's stock price, as the company has a deep leadership team and Gosin remains as Chairman. Investors may view the transition as a potential risk but the continuity plan mitigates immediate concerns.

On August 7, 2026, Newmark Group, Inc. announced that Barry Gosin, who has served as Chief Executive Officer since 1979, will step down from that role on December 31, 2026. He will continue as Chairman of Newmark Group, the company's operating entity, to support a seamless transition and focus on impactful topics. The Board of Directors expects to identify a new CEO by year-end. In connection with the announcement, Gosin entered into an amended and restated employment agreement to remain as Chairman of the operating company up to 2029. Newmark, a leading commercial real estate advisor, reported revenues of more than $3.6 billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, and operates from over 195 offices with more than 10,000 professionals across four continents. The company was acquired by BGC Partners, Inc. (now BGC Group) in 2011, which facilitated its IPO in 2017 and spun it off in 2018.
