| Altran shares shed a third of their value - Breaking - theage.com.au (483 words) |
| Altran, which provides information technology services, said it may be forced to lower its target of a double-digit operating margin in the second half as a result of the first half shortfall. |
| Altran's chairman Alexis Kniazeff, co-founder Hubert Martigny and chief executive Michael Friedlander are under formal investigation in connection with a judicial inquiry into Altran's 2001 and 2002 accounts. |
| Altran finance director Eric Albrand said he expected the second half to show an improvement in volumes if the good trend seen at the end of the second-quarter was confirmed in the autumn. |
