Shareholder advocacy aimed at Garmin

Nothing recorded yet. That means no campaign in our database names this company, not that none exists.

What shareholders voted on

From Garmin’s own filings with the SEC. Support is the share of votes cast for and against, so abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted in it.
