In 6 months will the company be bigger or smaller ?

Recently hired in a new market hub, that's a huge step-up from some of the older stores around here! Team synergy is tops too, that sure helps.
If any of you is looking for positions, look for market hubs, you won't be disappointed. I can see why they want to open more of these. We have so much parts stocked as well, I didn't have to shoo away customers yet, such a great feeling

Watch Charlie Youakim’s latest post on LinkedIn about Sezzle’s growth. This is the sort of leader employees rally behind. Warm, grounded, respected. A unique subscription model to BNPL - a new p2p offering that’s unique.

So after 18 acquisitions, 8 1/2 years of Neri leadership, and a really long period of flat, nothing revenue growth, HPE is finally showing some signs of life. I wouldn't count on it lasting though.

Anyone else feel like this is nowhere near over?

I would have thought they would split off instead of merge?

Nike will have upswing eventually.
When hot brands Hoka, On, adidas, Asics slow down, it will have its chance.

the job for Nike is to be ready when that chance comes up.
Not sure if EH will be here 3 years down the line but Nike needs to be ready for the chance that it will have to move up.
It is not if but rather when and how much ready you will be to take advantage when the opportunity comes up

After looking for months.

This place isnt growing, its shrinking. Other places are growing. WF is so fu---d.

So for the first time in nearly 20 years Verizon did not announce an increase in the dividend payout in September, something the company has done since 2007. And with treasury yields increasing, there's less of a risk/reward advantage to invest in Verizon as opposed to buying T-bills if you're a large institutional investor. You see today the reaction of Wall Street on that news. Going to be tough sledding to $60/share without a lot of growth.

Some good news before we go into the long weekend.

How can I get in the gravy train?

"I enjoyed speaking with Saurabh Kumar at ETGCCWorld about India’s growing relevance for ExxonMobil and the role Indian talent plays in our global strategy.

Over the last decade, India has become one of our most strategic locations worldwide.

Today, our capability hub in Bangalore delivers value across our global operations. The range of solutions we’re delivering from India is simply incredible!

From supporting the development of advanced catalysts for polymer manufacturing and modeling CO₂ storage, to creating AI tools for real-time spill detection and scaling the buildout of our energy equipment from India, our teams are driving impact at a truly global scale.

The depth of talent in India has enabled us to grow rapidly, but when combined with the country’s expanding capabilities and ambition, it creates a unique advantage.

Seeing our teams create meaningful impact around the world every day is deeply rewarding, and the alignment between our capabilities and India’s priorities has never been stronger.

Now is the most exciting time to be at ExxonMobil in India with lots more exciting times to come. Stay tuned!😊"

Verizon has been plummeting for years, but the tables are turning. Nearly a year after bringing in CEO Dan Schulman, its shares are up 21%. Meanwhile, AT&T has managed just a 1% gain, and T-Mobile has dropped 19%.

The hard-charging turnaround is mostly built on cost-cutting. Verizon has been axing jobs and cutting operating expenses. Naturally, this is going to bolster profit. While Barden called this strategy unsustainable, he commended the company for pressing the brakes on enormous price increases. Ultimately, the company will need to find a balanced approach.

Schulman is delivering

Regardless of the route he has taken, Schulman has put an end to net customer losses. To reward a job well done, Verizon has extended his contract from December 31, 2027, to December 31, 2028. He could also receive at least $25 million in incentives in 2028.
The real test

Sweeping cost cuts were the easy part. As Schulman exhausts that leeway, he will have to devise real growth strategies. He is already on it with a host of recent announcements, including the new Simplicity Plan and loyalty programs. The company is also cooking up more ways to upend the industry.

Saw some people starting to speak up about Elavon, so here I am saying I will probably quit soon. The past 2 years have been eye-opening for me. Way too many red tapes to get merchant services solutions work done and keep my sanity, yet leadership shows zero support and empathy for their teams. Also, Elavon drives very little revenue growth over the past few years and everyone is pointing fingers at each other while it is actually a combination of many factors. Unnecessary stress.

Seriously? I heard they’re running out of space and moving to a bigger location… all to make room for more hiring. Must be nice.

Here’s hoping the RTO scares off the fossils so the rest of us can finally grow

SpaceX may need 1.5 million small cells to compete with TMO to bad Crown caved to Elliott management and no one would listen to JB. Now Crowns is a singular business with no growth

We have been in the news so much as of late as we are making deals left and right. I have a good feeling about the direction we are heading in.

NVIDIA has approximately 42,000 full-time employees and just reported $96.2B in fiscal 2027 quarterly revenue, with projections to do 110B next quarter. They could easily surpass $500B within the next two fiscal years. That's nearly $12M in annual revenue per employee.

Dell Technologies reported an annual revenue of $113.5 billion with an employee headcount of approximately 97,000 full-time workers. That's 1.1M in annual revenue per employee.

NVIDIA has 43% of the total number of employees to Dell yet it is on track to bring in well over 10x the total amount of revenue per employee. Leadership!

Nvidia is hiring, Dell is firing. Nvidia is growing rapidly, Dell is dying.

Dell had paid a lot in wfr. Now the plan is to make things so miserable that people leave in their own. May it be useless tools, unrealistic kpis which have no relevance to actual jobs.... No growth or promotions. Just make it so bad that people leave. I am just collecting a paycheck... Just package me...

Hugging Face has crossed over $150 million in annualized recurring revenue (ARR), experiencing a massive 50% growth surge over just a two-month span.

Does anyone else see the irony here?

DE Shaw has accumulated a stake worth more than $1bn in Sysco, adding significant weight to the hedge fund’s long-standing investment in the US food distribution giant as the company seeks to accelerate growth and cut costs through AI, according to a report by Reuters.

San Francisco's job market shows signs of recovery, with overall employment and tech sector jobs increasing. Mass layoffs, prevalent during the pandemic, have significantly decreased. The burgeoning AI industry is a key driver, attracting substantial venture capital and fueling local hiring. While older tech companies continue some reductions, AI firms are expanding their workforces. Experts predict continued job growth in the region due to the maturing AI sector.

I guess not having losers like super-engineer dragging them down is beneficial…

Anthropic's revenue surged more than 14-fold in the second quarter from a year earlier, Bloomberg News reported (https://apple.news/PAGlaYQnGi1-6TRStOjb70p) Friday, underscoring the rapid growth of the Claude chatbot maker as it prepares for a potential blockbuster initial public offering

The AI company reported preliminary revenue of more than $11.5 billion for its latest completed quarter, up from $787 million in the same period last year and $4.73 billion in the first quarter of 2026, according to documents viewed by Bloomberg News.

From corp to field, how many ppl were hired recently?
Given the recent revenue and profit increases, lead by increasing customer satisfaction, I see lots of new employees in stores nearby!
Just curious

They say that want to have open paths to growth but for most Director level and hire only hire outside of the organization.

This company and "leaders" are horrible dont practice a word of what preach and say. Only ones that seem are those at the C Suite...I mean how many times can Prem be promoted for instance

Also if you are a male dont expect to get anywhere , company so DEI nuts they hire so unqualified people as long as you are not a white male.
I mean people told others dont hire someone but did because female. They they reduced her work and gave to others but kept.

The government cracking down on all this DEI bull, would like them to force CVS to drop it or lose contracts. Hiring bad people to follow a narrative which leads to bad mistakes is insane.

Huge growth

The stock is up on the AI demand, who do AI Naysayers have to say now?

Come on you doom and gloom brigade...

Will the CFO continue to push the strategy of 'grow the bottom line faster than the top line' in FY27?

Three Florida cities have been recognized for their strong environments for small business growth.

Apparently, Xerox’s Toner and Supplies Business Is Booming in Q1 2026 (Google this)

The company is clearly broken. Nothing is working together, and the strategy isn’t driving growth. That starts at the top. So, how much longer does EH have before being replaced?

WALMART WILL BE CARRYING NIKE AND NIKE'S BIGGEST GROWTH WILL COME FROM WALMART.
AND WHOEVER NIKE CEO IS THEN WILL BECOME BIGGEST WALMART A--KISSER OR BROWN NOSER.

IF PK IS DEAD BY THEN HE WILL FLIP IN THE GRAVE

ANTA WILL BE NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD! FOLLOWED BY ADIDAS AND LINING.

NIKE WILL BE IN FOURTH PLACE

Twilio's video and voice APIs along with their voice-based AI features, are proof that this space is very much a growth market.

Cisco had the same assets and the same opportunity. Instead it filed the people building this technology under non-core, non-growth, legacy, and let them go.

The market just told Cisco what it thinks of that call.

How depressing it must be to work for a company in a hot growth market who can’t grow revenue. Get out before they RIF you. It’s like being in a bad marriage. I understand why you would stay if you have minimal savings or just like living in San Diego. But for your own mental health just walk out right now. You can thank me later.

AmD is very successful and working model for other companies to follow. Why do managers use their excellent skills to just copy and paste to follow their working model.

1. Get a new female PhD CEO
2. Go fabless and abandon all fabs to save costs
3. Stop layoffs and hire more talents to growth

Don’t get me wrong. I retired from IBM and I loved my career there. I have fond memories of IBM, but I am very concerned as I watch competitors like Microsoft or AWS. While IBMs competitors enjoy double digit sales growth, IBMs sales growth has been in the single digits. Can a company grow that depends heavily on acquisitions for sales growth rather than organically growing from its own products that it invents/creates/sells/supports. How long will the board members and major shareholders accept status quo before they start looking at takeover bids from other corporations?

SolanaFloor has recently reduced its workforce just before scheduled token allocations were set to vest. The company cited rapid growth as the reason for operational inefficiencies. This timing has raised concerns among observers regarding financial management and company strategy. At least one former employee may now miss out on substantial token value. The layoffs could signal underlying financial challenges within the organization.
