I hope it's the source OP used(hard to tell cause there's no link, at least I can't see one): https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51760066_A_Face_Only_an_Investor_Could_Love_CEOs'_ Facial_Structure_Predicts_Their_Firms'_Financial_P erformance

It's a bit outdated, basing on outcomes in period 1996-2002 but it really seems to show some corelation, interesting

But correlation doesn't imply causation.

Looking good for Nokia. New CEO left, fail ex-CEO right

https://investorplace.com/2021/11/no...-the-5g-space/

Finnish telecom giant Nokia’s (NYSE:NOK) earnings smashed analyst expectations despite its supply chain issues. Its 5G advancements are paying off handsomely, and it appears that the company has stabilized its course under its CEO, Pekka Lundmark. Though Nokia had some major mistakes in the past few years, its business is back on track with the expansion of the 5G sector. Moreover, it is expected to be profitable as well, with expected 2021 earnings per share of 39 cents, and NOK stock is trading at just 1.2 times forward sales.

However, things have turned around swiftly after Lundmark’s takeover. He has prioritized Nokia’s cloud and networks business to drive future growth for the company. Additionally, he has also stabilized the company’s 5G business which had lagged behind its peers. Hence, the new-look Nokia is poised for massive growth, taking NOK stock to new heights.

Despite the global semi-conductor shortage, Nokia’s third-quarter results came in firmly ahead of analyst expectations. In the third-quarter, the telecom giant posted 633 million euros in comparable operating profit, representing a 30% growth from the prior year. Analysts were expecting a comparable operating profit of 522 million euros.

Nokia has picked up the pace of late in signing some major 5G contracts. Previously, it was lagging far behind its peers in the 5G race, but it’s now become a front-runner. It had recently benefitted from Ericcson’s (NASDAQ:ERIC) bad luck in China when Beijing struck back against Sweden banning Huawei.

Looking ahead, Nokia believes that it will expand its top and bottom lines at a stronger pace than its competitors through 2023. For that, it must continue to invest in research and development. Additionally, it will likely be reinstating its dividend soon, making NOK stock more attractive to new and existing investors. Nokia forecasts positive free cash flows, supported by robust operating margins.
