Wishing Mr. Gualberto Hernandez greater responsibilities and exciting challenges in this impressive new chapter!
A fresh wind of leadership is set to blow through the halls of PriceSmart, as the company appoints Gualberto Hernandez as its new Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective June 1, 2025. This leadership shift follows the mutual decision for current CFO Michael McCleary to step aside. Though stepping down from the CFO role, McCleary will remain as Executive Vice President until September 30, 2025, and will continue supporting the company as a consultant, offering up to 40 hours of guidance each month for three additional months.
Robert Price, serving as Interim Chief Executive Officer, acknowledged McCleary’s steadfast service with heartfelt gratitude. “His influence on our finance and accounting strategies has been truly significant,” Price remarked, reflecting on the deep imprint McCleary leaves behind.
As PriceSmart refreshes its executive team, the appointment of Hernandez signals the company’s readiness to embrace its next chapter of financial leadership and strategic agility. The evolving leadership landscape points toward PriceSmart’s continued commitment to growth and refinement from within.
Meanwhile, the company’s stock narrative remains steady. Currently priced around $104.45, PriceSmart Inc (PSMT) sees a projected trading range between $95.00 and $120.00, with a consensus average of $105.00. Analysts suggest a modest potential upside of 0.53 percent, while the estimated GF Value over a one-year horizon is $101.65, indicating a slight expected decline of approximately 2.68 percent based on historical patterns and projected performance.
The sentiment from three brokerage firms remains optimistic, placing PriceSmart in the “Outperform” category with a recommendation score of 1.7 on a scale where 1 reflects a Strong Buy. These insights hint at cautious confidence from the financial community.
As the torch of financial leadership passes hands, all eyes are now on Hernandez to steer PriceSmart through this season of renewal. His role will be pivotal in shaping the financial future of a company poised for calculated growth and evolution.
