The company has not been performing well for the past few years, according to the Wall Street Journal. And the market took the news as a positive. Indeed,  the stock price of the New Jersey-based company rose 7 percent on Tuesday.

“Mack-Cali has been a perpetual laggard and a change is for the best,” Michael Knott, an analyst at Green Street Advisors, told the newspaper. “A new CEO will not be an easy fix or a silver bullet.” [WSJ, 1st]
