#earnings

Unh stock is getting crushed right before earnings. Layoffs are going to skyrocket even more here. Brutal

Classy AF move.

Biggest computing demand in the history of the world.

that massive layoffs are coming soon. Before the next earnings date of 3/9

A few of the posts, the 2026 thread and the threads from October’s layoffs both mention potential cuts coming this month. Last time the cuts happened a little before the earnings report, which is scheduled for January 30th.

Has anyone heard anything or seen any indications of more cuts coming this month?

So they decided to print more shares. It's down ~12% pre market as of 8:50 EST.

WOW. There is never a good time to do something this stupid, but a week before earnings. This is super desperate.

Can someone who is smarter than me help me understand how good or bad the quarterly results, and because of timing, the annual results for 2025?

It seems like we had a really good year but I can be reading this wrong. But I'm getting upset that it looks like we had a good year but I know the compensation numbers are horrible this round. And if that's the case, they do not in fact pay for performance.

I’m debating whether to sell my UNH stock now or wait until after the earnings report. If it’s going to tank next week, I’d rather sell it now and be done with it.

i'm feeling very, very positive about this next meeting. hang in there and brace for success !!! 60for6

This entire 5 day RTO mandate isn't going to go well at all, and no, it's not JUST about having to go in the office. It's about how this is clearly a blanket solution to solve 1 particular problem within the company. A "solution" which will undo decade(s) of progress seemingly overnight.

Before COVID, we thrived on our 2-3 days in-person. That flexibility is why many of us joined and stayed. During COVID, we continued to thrive on remote work. And again, that flexibility is why many of us stayed. In return, many of us (without additional compensation mind you) gave back to the company by being available virtually 24/7. Fast forward to this day in 2026 and that mutual contract is broken. What does that mean?

Mandating 5 days in the office while continuing to expect 24/7 availability from most employees isn't sustainable. It's a recipe for burnout and resentment. Furthermore, claiming we've always been in-person and have been suffering due to our current arrangements completely contradicts the recent earnings report for 2025.

Look, this isn't another post by someone yelling into the void. This is a post from someone who cares. Believe it or not many of us do, which is why the following needs to be said:

This decision will hurt the company. In more ways than just one. It will damage morale, push out amazing talent, and ki-l the very culture that made this place what it is today. Locals are upset, news channels are reporting, employees feel disrespected, the list goes on.

I got laid off Feb 2024 in the 10% reduction deal.

I got a W2 for over 20k in earnings- I haven’t received a dime since my severance in Feb 2024.

Anyone else? I don’t want to report this towards my AGI- especially when never received that money.

Any guesses or specific insights into how earnings will look on the 22nd? Specifically, I’m looking for any and all insider information. TIA!

More to come in following quarters on how to drive efficiencies in tech. Seems of layoffs. What do you think?

Do you foresee the stock price to rebound with the last investment acquisitions but slow productivity?

1- cut guidance for remainder of the year and into 2026
2- seasonal slowdown. Lot of ppl out on people
3- org restructuring tolls which is happening now and it causes confusion often times, cutting projects half way through or affecting productivity. Even with the AI roadmap it brings conflict (overlapping across different orgs)
4- morale is down knowing incentives are poor. Usually 2% raise or maybe rsu worth 2k or less.(if you are eligible)
5- consensus for eps is already lower meaning that even good catalyst news wont help much.
6- our sheets are showing debts and lawsuits coming

I dont want to be pesimistic but Do you guys see any catalysts helping to rebound? Please tell me things to give us some hope about the tomorrow here.

Section: Notes to condensed fin. stmt. Restructuring
Oracle has spent $826M so far ending Nov 30
Oracle has allocated $1.6B in restructuring.
So additional amount $774M is going to be spent in next 3-6 m for sure.

Expected count is around 13000-15000 job cuts based on the above money.

Apparently the Confluent Cloud is not a Cluster*fook

Confluent's cloud revenue was a primary driver of growth in 2025, with Q3 2025 cloud revenue reaching $161 million, a 24% increase year-over-year.

Confluent reported its Q3 2025 earnings in October 2025, where total revenue surpassed Wall Street expectations.

The company was recently announced to be acquired by IBM in an $11 billion deal, a transaction expected to close by mid-2026.

Confluent's annual revenue for the trailing twelve months ending September 30, 2025, was $1.113 billion, a 21.58% increase year-over-year.
More detailed financial data is available through Confluent's investor relations website.

Confluent 2025 Revenue Breakdown
Fiscal Period Total Revenue Subscription Revenue
Q1 2025 $271.1 million $261.0 million
Q2 2025 $282.3 million $271.0 million
Q3 2025 $298.5 million $286.3 million
Q4 2025 Outlook N/A $295.5 - $296.5 million
FY 2025 (Total) ~$1.16 billion $1.1135 - $1.1145 billion

Salesforce Inc. gave an outlook for revenue in the current period that topped analysts’ estimates, suggesting the software company is persuading customers to buy its AI tools.

Revenue will be $11.1 billion to $11.2 billion in the period ending in January, the company said Wednesday in a statement. Analysts, on average, estimated $10.9 billion. Current remaining performance obligations, a measure of bookings, will increase about 15%, compared with analysts’ estimates of a 10% rise.

The revenue forecast includes 3 percentage points of growth from Informatica, a data integration software maker that Salesforce acquired last month in an $8 billion deal. The outlook for current remaining performance obligations includes 4 percentage points from Informatica.

The largest maker of software to track customer relationships is trying to push adoption of Agentforce — its AI tool that can complete tasks such as sales development and customer service without human supervision. Still, use has been largely limited to experimentation, in part due to customer confusion over pricing and disorganized data, wrote Derrick Wood, an analyst at TD Cowen, ahead of earnings.

Salesforce Chief Executive Officer Marc Benioff touted adoption of the AI tool, saying “our Agentforce and Data 360 products are the momentum drivers.”

Agentforce launched last year, and the company said it has closed more than 9,500 paid deals since then, an increase from 6,000 in the prior quarter.Annual recurring revenue for Salesforce’s division that includes AI-focused tools such as data organization and agents was $1.4 billion in the period ended Oct. 31, the company said.

The shares gained about 8% in extended trading after closing at $238.72 in New York. The stock has dropped 29% this year through Wednesday’s close as investors have grown concerned about AI disrupting incumbent application software makers.

In the fiscal third quarter, Salesforce reported that revenue increased 8.6% to $10.3 billion. Profit, excluding some items, was $3.25 per share. Analysts, on average, estimated adjusted earnings of $2.86 a share on $10.3 billion revenue, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The current remaining performance obligation was $29.4 billion, while analysts expected $29.1 billion.

Earnings, excluding some items, will be $3.02 a share to $3.04 a share in the period ending in January. Analysts, on average, estimated $3.03.

For the full year ending in January, adjusted operating margin will be about 34%, in line with estimates.

From Seeking Alpha on Snowflake trading at 267 today.

Wall Street expects the cloud-based data storage company to post an EPS of $0.31, implying a 55% increase, while revenue is expected to rise 25.3% to $1.18 billion for the quarter.

The company, during its Q2 earnings call, stated that it expects Q3 product revenue to come in between $1.125 billion and $1.13 billion.

We expect this to support NRR around ~125% and healthy new customer growth of +18-19% YoY,” Oppenheimer analyst Ittai Kidron highlighted in a research note.

Over the last two years, SNOW has beaten EPS estimates 88% of the time and has beaten revenue estimates 100% of the time.

Over the last three months, EPS estimates have seen four upward revisions and one downward move, while revenue estimates have seen eight upward revisions, compared to one downward revision.

Since the start of the year, SNOW shares have gained over 70%, compared to nearly 16% rise in the broader S&P 500 index.

And I love it, and I love it Big miss coming

Several senior PayPal executives have sold more than $1.5 million in company stock since the October earnings report, leading some to argue that they should be held accountable.

Medtronic (MDT) stock jumped early Tuesday after the medical products maker reported adjusted earnings of $1.36 per share on $8.96 billion in third-quarter sales.

On average, analysts called for $1.31 earnings per share and $8.87 billion in sales.

Thats the only way to save the sinking stock. Just like the layoffs before last earnings.

Cisco doesn’t share any data on individuals or teams layoffs

Debt servicing on the interest is up to around $1.1 million a DAY! Each and every day, this is not going away. Not principal, just the interest. Under 'Total Interest expense.'

That''s 400 million a year, just on the vig.

This site was a good place for people to come and share knowledge of events that may impact folks, discuss the challenges of a RIF, and generally share information: USEFUL INFORMATION.
It's turned into a place where babies come to bi--h about working in an office, drawing silly connections to stock prices and earnings to RIFs (complete nonsense), and generally complain complain complain.
OMG JUST QUIT ALREADY.
Oh boy here come the negatives ....

@michaeljburry

Understating depreciation by extending useful life of assets artificially boosts earnings - one of the more common frauds of the modern era.

Massively ramping capex through purchase of Nvidia chips/servers on a 2–3 yr product cycle should not result in the extension of useful lives of compute equipment.

https://x.com/michaeljburry/status/1987918650104283372?s=20

Yet this is exactly what all the hyperscalers have done. By my estimates they will understate depreciation by $176 billion 2026–2028.

By 2028, ORCL will overstate earnings 26.9%, META by 20.8%, etc. But it gets worse. More detail coming November 25th. Stay tuned.

Occidental Petroleum (OXY) is preparing for its Q3 earnings report, expected to show a 52% decline in earnings year-over-year. Recent developments, including a 10% drop in stock value and mixed analyst opinions, are reshaping the company's investment outlook.

Update following 3Q earnings (1year returns) and an updated investor presentation:

Delek 142%
VLO 32%
MPC 30%
PBF 25%
PSX 13%

The new CEO is working out well lol. No telling what we gave up to keep Chipotle as a customer so we could announce that on Earnings today to try and salvage a horrendous quarter.

ConocoPhillips quarterly report was just published. From the highlights a couple things stand out to me... Very high exposure to US shale in L48 and $5 billion more in planned divestitures for 2026 are on track.

What's getting sold next that can generate $5 billion? Underperforming US assets? Someone else speculated Montney?

Stock analysts’ favorite line may no longer be “great quarter, guys,” given all the attention it got—including an academic study.

Sound familiar? Yup every earnings call for the last 4 years (obviously with the exception of last weeks). We here had been sounding the alarm for several years. Too little attention is given to associates concerns in 'right sizing' too much authority to leadership.

The management team documented headcount reductions at Investor Day and the materials are on investor.bankofamerica.com - read it for yourself.

https://d1io3yog0oux5.cloudfront.net/_921b404bf18d5836995d3afa5c212c04/bankofamerica/db/968/10447/file_upload/BofAInvestorDay_FullPresentation_Final.pdf

Page 61 (stamped 39) shows a clear and significant push reduction in headcount. The slide is titled “Continue to Drive Growth and EFFICIENCY thru strategic investments…”. Watch any interview with Brian (Maria Bartoromo for example) and he avoids the question on headcount reductions from our investments in AI. The presentation signals to investors headcount cuts are coming and of course just how wonderful the management team is doing. We lag peers on EVERY meaningful metric so investors said same tired BS and dumped the stock on a market up day. Investors laugh at “responsible growth” so now we have to rename it “Try to catch up to every peer we lag growth”.

Search for the word “efficiency” in the deck and it comes up 51 times with the last one on page 298 (stamped 22). Management is targeting an efficiency ratio of 55-59% and publishing that to investors. Management cannot control revenue. Management can only control expense. These targets only require a 10-20% headcount cut and it’s so super easy to do. The question is does Brian want reductions in the Q4 earnings release or Q1 2026.

AI baby!

I heard the “pu”s are safe: cpu/gpu/npu

Which teams are going then? Please be bangalore!

Read a bunch of the recent threads and something doesn't add up because the earnings looks fine? Stock jumped nearly 40% and it isn't even lunch yet.

We have a new AI leader announced. Timing? Like last time. Something to point hope at for an earnings call? Or a good move? Should I be hopeful or skeptical?

What do you think? I can’t tell anymore…

What a coincidence. Check the career pages, it says that due to an upgrade the open jobs can’t be shown. Until Nov 13. When earnings will be published. Big LR and hiring freeze incoming
