JD Sports Fashion PLC chairman Andrew Higginson will leave his role this summer after four years, a move that surprised and disappointed investors. Higginson, a former Tesco executive, helped transform JD Sports by expanding its global presence and improving governance. Analysts praise his leadership but express caution ahead of JD's upcoming preliminary results on May 7, citing external market uncertainties. His successor, Darren Shapland, will take over after the July AGM, while shares remain undervalued despite a strong balance sheet and cash flow.
