Yesterday

2230 GMT [Dow Jones]--Lark Distilling's CEO change surprises bull Canaccord Genuity. Lark said Sash Sharma would step down as CEO at the end of December, to be replaced by Stuart Gregor, co-founder of Four Pillars Gin and a current nonexecutive director on Lark's board. Analyst Allan Franklin considers Gregor to be a strong successor, noting his experience in growing Four Pillars to the point that it was acquired by Kirin Holdings unit Lion in 2023. "Executing on the sales acceleration both domestically and internationally remains the key watch point for investors," says Canaccord. It expects sales to pick up from 2Q of FY 2026. Canaccord retains a buy call and A$1.34/share price target on Lark, which ended Tuesday at A$0.81. (david.winning@wsj.com)
