Sprout Social announced that its Chief Financial Officer, Joe Del Preto, will step down from his role effective March 11, 2026, after notifying the company of his intention to resign on February 9, 2026.
Del Preto is leaving to pursue another professional opportunity; the resignation is not linked to any disagreement over accounting or financial matters, according to company statements.
The company has not named a replacement and will operate with an interim CFO arrangement until a permanent successor is appointed.
Sprout Social is scheduled to report its fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2025 results on February 26, 2026. Management expects those results to exceed prior guidance for revenue, non‑GAAP operating income, and non‑GAAP net income per share, reflecting strong demand in its enterprise customer base and continued investment in AI‑driven features.
The company’s strategy centers on expanding its enterprise customer segment, leveraging AI and product innovation, and pursuing strategic acquisitions such as Repustate and Tagger to enhance sentiment and influencer intelligence capabilities.
On the day of the announcement, Sprout Social’s shares fell 8.54%, a reaction that investors interpreted as a mix of confidence in the company’s financial outlook and uncertainty surrounding the CFO transition.
CEO Ryan Barretto emphasized that Sprout Social remains focused on serving enterprise clients and advancing AI capabilities, underscoring the company’s commitment to growth and innovation.
The CFO transition introduces short‑term uncertainty, but the company’s strong financial trajectory and strategic focus on enterprise and AI suggest continued resilience and growth potential.
