# LATAM Airlines Calls August Shareholder Vote on New Share Repurchase Program

LATAM Airlines Group SA Sponsored ADR ( (LTM) ) has issued an update.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is a major Latin American airline based in Santiago, Chile, offering passenger and cargo services across domestic and international routes. The company’s scale and multi-market presence make it an influential player in South American aviation and a notable issuer in regional capital markets.

On July 8, 2026, LATAM’s board agreed to convene an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to approve a new share repurchase program. The meeting on August 3, 2026 will determine the program’s size, terms and duration, while potentially granting the board broad authority to buy and later sell up to 5% of company shares, with implications for capital allocation and investor returns.

The proposed plan, structured under Chilean corporate law, would allow repurchases over a period of up to five years. Delegated powers to operate directly in the market and manage future disposals of repurchased shares could give LATAM greater flexibility in managing its equity base and responding to market conditions.

The most recent analyst rating on (LTM) stock is a Buy  
with a $70.00 price target.

**Spark’s Take on LTM Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, LTM is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by improving profitability and cash generation, but capped by elevated leverage that increases downturn sensitivity. Valuation is a clear positive (low P/E and moderate yield), while technical signals are mixed/neutral. Earnings-call commentary supports underlying strength but highlights significant near-term fuel-cost headwinds and limited forward visibility.
