The story
Dropbox CEO Drew Houston is stepping down, transitioning to Executive Chairman, with Ashraf Alkarmi set to take over. The leadership change lands on a stock already under pressure: -3.4% today, 7 Sells and 1 Strong Sell in consensus, 12 insider sales in 30 days, and recent coverage explicitly titled '3 Reasons to Avoid DBX'.
