30 Jul 2026
Adecco's shares fell to an all-time low earlier this year, only to stage one of the more pronounced recoveries we've tracked among Swiss equities.

Inficon’s Obermatt 360° View has climbed from 82 to 90, its Growth Rank has more than doubled, and the semiconductor upcycle is just getting started. Read the full story on the blog.
