These Companies Should Never Fire Their CEO (Seriously, Don’t Even Think About It)
When leadership actually works, you protect it like it’s your dividend yield.
1. Nvidia (NVDA) — Jensen Huang
Why: Turned a graphics card company into the AI backbone of Earth.
The Vibe: Black leather jacket, $3T market cap swagger.
Firing Jensen? That’s not a sell signal—it’s a market crash trigger.
2. Wingstop (WING) — Michael Skipworth
Why: Flawless execution, flavor cult status, and a stock that eats inflation for lunch.
The Vibe: “Flavor costs extra” capitalism.
Result: 15-year CAGR that makes most tech jealous.
3. Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) — Jerry Morgan
Why: Recession? People still want buttery rolls and beer.
The Vibe: Consistent, patriotic, steak-powered greatness.
Leadership Lesson: Don’t mess with the man who understands middle America’s appetite and margins.
4. Procter & Gamble (PG) — Jon Moeller
Why: Quiet excellence. Pricing power when inflation’s hot. Defensiveness when it’s not.
The Vibe: Your grandma’s favorite stock. Your portfolio’s secret MVP.
Note: If he sneezes, the S&P 500 should send flowers.
5. Illinois Tool Works (ITW) — Christopher O’Herlihy
Why: Boring on purpose. 80/20 strategy king.
The Vibe: Midwestern money printer.
Verdict: It’s like Six Sigma met Warren Buffett and had a very profitable child.
6. Martin Marietta Materials (MLM) — C. Howard Nye
Why: Runs an infrastructure materials giant impeccably.
The Vibe: Cemented leadership—literally.
Bonus: Public-sector tailwinds + pricing power = chef’s kiss.
7. Danaher (DHR) — Rainer Blair
Why: He didn’t mess up the Danaher Business System—and that’s the point.
The Vibe: Life sciences with margin discipline.
Takeaway: The only spin-offs you want are the ones they plan.
8. Public Storage (PSA) — Joe Russell
Why: Charges rent on boxes of sadness—and prints money doing it.
The Vibe: Rate-cut ready and recession-proof.
CEO Rule: If you run a REIT that can outperform tech stocks, don’t change a thing.
9. Meta (META) — Mark Zuckerberg (yes, really)
Why: Launched Threads, cut costs, dodged Congress, and now AI pivot is sticking.
The Vibe: Hoodie vengeance.
Hot Take: Zuck 2.0 might be the comeback story of the decade.
10. Skechers (SKX) — Robert Greenberg
Why: DTC growth, international expansion, and actual profits.
The Vibe: Fashionable orthopedics.
Investor Note: Your dad’s favorite shoe. Your alpha during periods of sticky inflation and interest rates.
In Conclusion
At the end of the day, these CEOs are basically the Avengers of capitalism—each with their own superpower, each keeping their company from turning into a slow-motion train wreck. Fire them? You might as well short your own portfolio.
So here’s your investor homework:
-
Watch Jensen’s next leather-jacket keynote like it’s the Super Bowl
-
Thank Michael Skipworth every time your Wingstop order shows up on time
-
And maybe—just maybe—send Mark Zuckerberg a virtual hug for cutting costs and inventing a meme app in the same fiscal year
Because when leadership is this good, the smartest move isn’t to “activist investor” them—it’s to sit back, reinvest the dividends, and let these bosses keep bossing.
If you liked this list, smash that share button, send it to your favorite finance nerd, and let them know: some CEOs are simply unfireable—seriously, don’t even think about it.
