High-profile analyst Michael Webber leaving Wells Fargo

This time it’s Mike Webber.

One of the sector’s highest-profile analysts has handed in his resignation to Wells Fargo Securities in a year marked by the departure of shipping researchers, sources told TradeWinds.

But it’s probably best not to jump to conclusions about whether Webber’s leaving has much to do with the outflow of analysts in an industry that has seen capital-markets deal flow wane.
