BP opts for culture shock with new CEO appointment, but the timing is odd (The Guardian)
|
|
|
The decision to replace Murray Auchincloss with Woodside's Meg O'Neill is puzzling on at least two countsHere we go again. Just when you thought BP was trying to generate less drama, the new chair has decided a new chief executive is needed. Say goodbye to Murray Auchincloss, who junked the green-ish transition strategy of his predecessor as recently as February. Meg O'Neill, the American boss of the Australian group Woodside Energy, becomes BP's first outside hire as chief executive.At face value, a new appointment shouldn't be an outright surprise. Alfred Manifold arrived as BP chair in July and, after the many flip-flops under the ineffectual Helge Lund, he had a mandate to take his own view of how the company should be managed. If he and the board think an injection of “increased rigour and diligence” is necessary to fulfil the new oilier plan, fair enough. The activist investor Elliott may have been urging much the same. Even Auchincloss recognised the possibility he could be axed. His state...

China's 'Manhattan Project' Builds Secret EUV Chip Machine Long Blocked By The West
Chinese scientists have built a prototype extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine in a high-security Shenzhen lab, a milestone Washington has long sought to block, according to a new report from Reuters. The machine, completed in early 2025 and now in testing, occupies nearly an entire factory floor and was developed by former ASML engineers who reverse-engineered the Dutch firm's technology, two sources said.
EUV machines are central to advanced chipmaking, using extreme ultraviolet light to etch ultra-fine circuits. China's prototype can generate EUV light but has not yet produced working chips. In April, ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said China would need “many, many years” to develop the technology, but the prototype suggests Beijing may be closer to semiconductor independence than expected.
Speculation on Twitter this morning suggests China may have simply "stole the source"...

Meg O′Neill: the ′hard-nosed′ boss hired to be the new head of BP (The Guardian)
|
|
|
The 55-year-old from Boulder, Colorado, is the first female head of a major oil companyThe surprise appointment of BP's third chief executive in a tumultuous five years reflects the embattled fossil fuel producer's need for profound change. The hiring of Meg O'Neill appears to offer exactly that.The 55-year-old from Boulder, Colorado, is the first female head of a major oil company, and the first “outsider” to be hired to a position usually reserved for company veterans. She joins from the Australian oil and gas company Woodside, where she took up her first chief executive role only four years ago. Continue reading......

Börsenradio Schlussbericht, Do., 18.12.2025: Weihnachts-Kurzvorrallye - DAX +1,0 % nach US-Daten - Micron +14% (BRN)
|
|
|
Der DAX ist zurück über 24.000 und schließt 1,0 % höher bei 24.200 Punkten. Rückenwind kam vor allem aus den USA: Die Inflationsdaten fielen niedriger aus als erwartet und schürten Spekulationen auf eine baldige Zinssenkung der Fed. Eine Senkung im Januar wurde zeitweise mit rund 30 % Wahrscheinlichkeit eingepreist, auch wenn Ökonomen wegen möglicher Verzerrungen durch den Regierungs-Shutdown zur Vorsicht mahnten. An der Wall Street ging es zum Start kräftig nach oben: Dow Jones und S&P 500 jeweils etwa +1 % auf 48.310 und 6.796 Punkte, der Nasdaq in der Spitze +1,6 % auf 23.048 Punkte. KI-Titel standen im Fokus: Siemens Energy führte im DAX mit +4,7 %, Micron sprang in den USA um 14 %. - Firmen: Rheinmetall +1,5 % und erwartet im fortgeführten Geschäft 10,0 bis 10,4 Mrd. Euro Umsatz, das wären +30 % bis +35 %. Birkenstock rutschte 4,9 % ab, Ausblick 13 % bis 15 % Umsatzplus, bereinigtes EPS 1,90 bis 2,05 Euro, Q4-Umsatz 526,3 Mio. Euro. Trump Media +26,6 % nach einem 6 Mrd. USD Deal mit TAE....
