BOC - Why Boston Omaha Stock Is Down Today
2024-05-10 12:35:39 ET
The "Boston" half of the CEO tandem that has run Boston Omaha (NYSE: BOC) for nearly a decade is stepping aside. Investors were taken by surprise, sending shares of Boston Omaha down as much as 9% at the open before recovering to be down 4% as of 11 a.m. ET.
Boston Omaha has always been a bit of an oddity. It is the holding company for four majority-owned businesses in the billboard, broadband, insurance, and asset management industries run by co-CEOs Alex Rozek and Adam Peterson. Rozek lives in Boston and Peterson in Omaha -- the inspiration for the name.
On Friday, Boston Omaha announced Rozek was stepping down to pursue other opportunities, effective immediately, leaving Peterson as sole chairman and CEO.
