The latest update is out from Transat AT V & VV ( (TSE:TRZ) ).

Transat A.T. Inc. secured backing from a second major proxy advisory firm, Institutional Shareholder Services, which urged investors to support the company’s full slate of eight board nominees and its proposed amendment to expand the board size range, while opposing all dissident proposals from Financière Outremont. Alongside a similar recommendation from Glass Lewis and support agreements from two large Québec-based institutional shareholders, the endorsements underscore confidence in Transat’s turnaround plan, improved operating metrics, and recent balance sheet strengthening, and they cast doubt on the dissident’s bid for board influence, which ISS warned could facilitate a future takeover and raises concerns about governance and independence.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:TRZ) stock is a Hold with a C$3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Transat AT V & VV stock, see the TSE:TRZ Stock Forecast page.
