Jul 23, 2026

Mobileye Global Inc. shares tumbled 15% on July 23, 2026, following the announcement that founder Amnon Shashua will step down as CEO once a successor is found. The leadership transition and a weak Q3 revenue forecast of a 5% to 6% decline overshadowed strong Q2 results, where Mobileye posted $508 million in revenue. Shashua has been offered the role of chairman and plans to focus on longer-term technology development, particularly humanoid robotics, following Mobileye's $900 million acquisition of Mentee Robotics. Meanwhile, Mobileye reports that its operations have not been materially affected to date by the ongoing regional conflicts.
