Nabors activism case weakens, bankers say
John Delta, COO at Management CV, a research firm that specializes in the analysis of company managements, said Petrello has moved slowly to implement the goals he outlined when he took over as chief executive in October 2011.
Delta notes Petrello has said on the record that he wants to reduce Nabors’ net debt to 25%, from about 40% currently, by the end of 2013. But given the current pace of debt reduction, it will be challenging to meet this goal, he said.

Nokia Seen Posting Q2 Loss, As Troubles
Mount
Nokia was expected to report a loss
for this quarter and next as it cuts prices to try to prevent more
customers defecting to rivals' smartphones, a Reuters poll found.

shareholder," said Renny Ponvert, chief executive of top leaders skills

Say Goodbye To Gains In AMD Until Dirk
Meyer Is Replaced
When
CEO Dirk Meyer took the reins at chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices in
2008, the question was “Can he turn things around?” After steering the
company through a challenging time and seemingly getting things on the
right path, his ouster Monday has investors wondering what went wrong.
Tuesday
morning Ponvert told me he was very surprised by Meyer’s ouster. “We
would have pointed to Meyer as an example of a great operational
turnaround,” he said. “We thought he was the antithesis of his
predecessor [Hector Ruiz], a classic media darling who delivered weak
results.”

Beware Superstar CEOs
The
high-profile outside hire plays well in the media and gives shares a
boost, but the effect is fleeting. Americans love stars. Celebrities,
athletes, politicians and, yes, corporate executives. Nearly 20% of the
3,000 largest publicly traded companies in the U.S. change their CEO or
CFO in a typical year, and the chance to put a big name in the C-suite
is alluring to corporate boards, says Renny Ponvert, the founder and
chief executive of Management CV, a firm that analyzes management teams
and executive changes for a client base of institutional investors. One
of the biggest mistakes boards can make is reaching outside company
ranks for a big-name executive who turns out to be a poor fit.

Measuring A Honcho From Top To Bottom
Do
companies with high-performing stocks also have great managers? And can
you measure this management savvy and correlate it to future
stock-price moves? Renny Ponvert, founder and chief executive officer
of Management CV, thinks so. Ponvert says an investment ranking system
developed by his Bethesda, Md., research firm shows a clear match
between management performance and a company's stock movements over
time. "If you analyze management ability, you have an 18-month advance
look at the profit and loss columns of these companies. Management
comprises the biggest non-industry factor affecting performance over
time," Ponvert said.
