Metallus said its CEO intends to retire and leave the board at the end of 2026 — a long runway, not a sudden exit. The stock barely moved on the news. Looking back at 115 similar leadership departures, the stock lagged the market by about 3% over the next three months, and it beat the market less than half the time.
