Tea party
DavidsTea reports its first-quarter results Monday and holds its annual meeting on Thursday, when shareholders will weigh in on a proxy battle for board control of the company. Proxy advisory firm Glass, Lewis & Co. has recommended shareholders back the management board nominees in its fight with co-founder Herschel Segal, who says management is not focused on the right priorities and is seeking changes at the company.
After the storm
Tour operator Transat A.T. Inc. releases second-quarter results on Thursday.
