#outlook

Sudden wealth is coming for many. It will allow many to walk out of the door without warning. It will cause Chaos in corporate America and the shift back to employee leverage will begin.

Will Ayman have a plan to switch the company from cost-cutting back to growing revenue? Are customers actually paying extra for the new AI features, or are they just free add-ons to keep people from leaving?

I don’t see a way to break out of our current low-growth holding pattern. Thus the only future is for all divisions to eventually be acquired. Does anyone else see it differently?

The earth's resources are limited.

So. nothing is going to grow forever.

So, revenues/profits of no company is going to grow forever.

So, it is better to do profit booking in the stock market.

Earnings report day! Before opening bell too, I believe. Looks like the poster who thought last Friday was going to see massive layoffs was off by one week. Earnings may be okay for Q4 2025, but outlook for 2026 and beyond is gonna su-k.

YoY revenue down, weak Q2. Tumble!

“UHC revenue reflect fewer
consumers served, with
membership expected to range
between 46.9 million to 47.5
million.
Optum revenues of more than
$257.5 billion reflect the
corresponding membership attrition
in Optum Rx and the strategic right-
sizing of Optum Health.“

Try not to be all doom and gloom

OMG- I’m about to go insane. Why is our system so slow?! This is ridiculously unproductive. What is wrong with her outlook? Why does it take 13 years to set up/open/send an invite? This has been going on for years and it’s so unacceptable at this point. I’m not understanding why the company can’t get this fixed.

Anyone know anything about this department? How is their long term outlook and how is the work/leadership?

Many MDs will disappear from Outlook in the next 3 to 4 weeks, Sr Managers tooooooooooooo, this will be the last celebration for this year by "J" and J is going on vacation to celebrate her AI Certifcation and she will start mowing the rest of the Sr Employees (weeds) from 2nd week of Jan 2026

Was reading about VZ's new CEO and his outlook for the company... what are the thoughts on where we will land?

What's being targeted and where do you see this going in the future?

How does it look for the forthcoming years in terms of RTO? Are they going to close more non-hubs, open new hubs, force 3 days instead of 5? Who’s got the crystal ball?🔮

Will it make a difference or is it temporary?

Are we done with layoffs at least until 2026?

It surely feels like one. Good luck all!

After watching our numbers rolling in for Q3, the “WTF” exit survey, impending lay offs, and somber mood in my region, I can’t continue to sit here and smile like an id--t. Folks, we’re sitting in a rotten carcass being picked stripped off any value left before being thrown into the incinerator. Hertz is done. Don’t wait to get your notice. Time to get off our chairs and get employment where the business is actually bringing customers and profits.

underperformed the S&P 500 since my previous Sell rating was published.

ATUS continues to lose broadband customers and is expected to see revenue declines in the coming years, despite aggressive network investments.

The company's leverage ratio and weighted average cost of debt have increased, making meaningful debt reduction or a non-dilutive restructuring very challenging.

It's Q3 earnings day. I guess we'll find out how bad it is.

Folks still at Avaya, sticking around? Awfully quiet around this forum now..

What's next?

It’s really looking bad. Time to prepare an exit plan.

Is it bleak across the board or are there pockets of good somewhere?

Ice Berg and his side kick Marne cut a dozen people in procurement this week, then hired another executive to run IT, moved Almost Ded Ned out from Sandipshit because he wasn't bringing any revenue (scapegoat 1). Then gave Ded a BS Innovation title and probably more money.
Heat is turning up after a terrible August and horrible Q3 outlook for Gilly Bean West. But don't worry the new mascot car, Miles Dumpster, in all the communications will keep morale up.
