Umicore FIRST LOOK: Bart Sap to become new CEO

Umicore has nominated its Catalysis head Bart Sap as new group CEO, in succession of Mathias Miedreich, who is stepping down in mutual agreement with the Board.

In spite of this we remove Arcadis from our Dynamic Top Pick List as the recent & strong share price performance leaves little room for further short term triggers As a service provider to the energy industry, Fu...
