Travel and Technology Results: Transat A.T. missed revenue and earnings targets for its third quarter, citing ongoing cost pressures. D2L Inc. also faced challenges, reporting mixed results and lowering its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance due to softer demand in its advisory services and delayed customer deployments.
Industrial and Energy Developments: Haivision Systems reported soft third-quarter revenue, impacted by broadcast budget scrutiny and defense procurement delays. In the energy sector, Tamarack Valley Energy and Headwater Exploration announced a $10-billion all-stock merger to create a dominant producer in Alberta's Clearwater region.
