Asbury Automotive (ABG) Group announced the formal transition of David Hult from CEO to Executive Chairman effective May 4th, 2026. “During his tenure, David Hult led Asbury through the largest period of growth in the company’s history,” said Tom Reddin, Asbury’s Non-Executive Chairman. “Asbury’s revenue more than doubled, share price tripled, and earnings per share nearly quadrupled. Aided by a bold acquisition strategy that generated an aggregate net return on investment in the mid-teens and ahead of our expectations, Asbury has been transformed from a smaller regional player to one with scale in highly attractive markets with the most desirable brands across 14 states and 158 dealerships.”
