Our Stock will again crash in Last week of August or in Second week of September again, so be cautious and double careful

I mean a $13.61 to $27.12 is a pretty good recovery.

Let me tell you a couple of three things: forget the excuses, forget the value Lyons managed to erase, and forget the corporate incompetence that put Fiserv in this position.

Takis took that stock—weak, embarrassed, wandering around like it had no leadership—and brought it all the way back to where it was before Lyons left. Frankly, it’s an honor to be surrounded by shareholders who still believe in execution, discipline, and making money—and not incompetent executives like Lyons, who should’ve stayed in whatever management-development program he crawled out of.

The future? I’m optimistic. Takis has restored respect, restored confidence, and most importantly, restored the stock price.

As far as Lyons is concerned, my estimation of him as an executive just plummeted.

While employees wait to find out if they’ll have a job when the VSP determinations settle, and the layoffs ensue, here’s what Centene’s top leadership has accumulated in company stock.

Executive Approx. Stock Value 2025 Compensation
Sarah London (CEO) ~$78.1M ~$21.6M
Drew Asher (CFO) ~$48.6M ~$10.3M
Chris Koster ~$23.1M ~$8.2M
Fred Eppinger ~$23.0M ~$0.6M (Board)
Ken Burdick ~$17.4M ~$7.4M
Susan Smith ~$13.7M ~$6.8M
Michael Carson ~$11.5M N/A
Tanya McNally ~$8.3M ~$5.8M
Katie Casso ~$7.2M ~$5.5M

Meanwhile, thousands of employees have spent months wondering whether VSP, layoffs, outsourcing, or another reorganization is coming for them.

We hear a lot about being “good stewards of taxpayer dollars.” We also hear that “when the business changes, we need to change with it.”

Fair enough. But stewardship shouldn’t only flow downhill.

If employees are expected to absorb the uncertainty, workload, and career disruption that come with those changes, it’s reasonable to ask whether leadership should share more of that burden too.

The numbers above aren’t opinions, rather they’re from Centene’s public SEC filings. The contrast between executive wealth and employee anxiety is what people are reacting to.

After DCAI layoffs announcement, where else can we cut? We need to cut more to stop the stock sell off madness.

Why did Intel's stock drop by $50 over the past month?

It was 140$ now 91.55$ within a month

Pump and dump after cashing out....

Deeper employee cuts must be made, shareholders are not going to tolerate the stock price continuing to erode. Quickest way to recover short term is to cut headcount, Wall Street loves to see operating cost reduced.

On scale of 1-10, how bad did Enrique fumble the Stripe deal? And how bad will our stock crash on Tuesday? Im wondering if I should just cash my vested RSU’s now before even bigger losses come.

Pretty much was biding my time and hoping to get rif'd last year. Collected my max severance pay and cashed out 30 years of stock at it's peak of $345. Retired now and living my best life...thank you Oracle and sorry for those of you sticking it out at the current stock price..

AT&T and TMO are also up. Look at the history of these telecom stocks. They go up when the other equities go down due to market risks increasing (wars, rising oil, etc.). Grandma clutches her pearls tighter and moves her money to utilities. She'll move it out of telecom when she thinks the risk is less, and VZ will then continue it's slide.

Because of stock dilution

AT&T stock gains 5% today due to increased RTO and confidence in CEO Stankey's leadership going forward

I understand senior management milking this whole game of grabbing cash till it is gone. I also understand older employees staying until social security is close. Perks of vacation time and free travel to events must be great for them. But, how is any second tier lien holder of this debt calculating they will get all their money back?
With stock dropping causing loss in investments and the REAL debt being said it would be closer to 9 billion, what bank would possibly feel ok with this?
Could someone explain this? Are there hidden advantages here somehow.

Did you see stock post earnings? Where is this going?

stock sinking why CEO's nut heads still around? As a stock holder i want them to be fired for their lousy job.

This guy is so full of it. Now he’s saying he’s going to transform central offices to data centers he’s full of it and no one believes him. Stock will go back down next week

What stock price are you guys predicting after earnings ), stocks are already going down

There were so many of them a few weeks ago. "So proud to work for this company" followed by an image of the stock at $320. Not just execs either (probably the same people that comment on W3 blogs). Radio silent now.

Hmmm Maybe something is afoot. Usually by now the earnings date would of been announced. Perhaps there is something that is just taking a little more time to draft and run by the board? We have been distancing our earnings to get far away from Insight's earnings to avoid dragging the stock down, but this seems quite unusual. They su-k and so do we, but what do you all think? what's the word? where's the beef?

As a prior employee who was laid off over a year ago, I have to admit that from a shareholder perspective who was fully vested with ESPP shares for several years, it appears that the moves that NetApp is making has increased my account value significantly. While I didn't appreciate being cut from the company, I am enjoying seeing the company make me money while I'm sleeping. Cheers and best wishes to you all!

Fair value for aero based on P/E could be as low as 180’s. How does your 401k like them numbers?

Is the stock dropping because Sassine made a really d-mb decision?

They board named a renegade cowboy for a reason. This is going to catch people off guard and make the stock break 55.

Granted this comparison is Fin-tech vs Telco; but T stock has actually dropped under Stinky and this company’s stock has risen 290% since this guy took over… Robin Vince is doing SOMETHING right…

Stinky’s resume speaks for itself; stock holder devaluation, losing biz deals, failed ideas, failed vision, nearly zero respect from the employees and even losing respect of “The Market” he seems to favor. If only T could get a guy like this at the helm!!

When will our stock will hit $500? Any idea!!

What is the severance for retail this time around. What is the minimum and what is the max. Do you get all your stock, including what hasn’t vested?

Remember, the 52 week high and low are $37.42 and $82.62. Those are shocking results.

Can't stop laughing !!

Today is a difficult moment for IBM, its employees, its shareholders, and its leadership. Sharp market reactions are never easy, and there will undoubtedly be tough questions in the days ahead.

That said, I have confidence in Arvind. Leading one of the world's largest technology companies isn't about one trading day or one earnings report—it's about making decisions that position the company for long-term success. Every CEO faces setbacks. What matters most is how they respond.

IBM has overcome major challenges throughout its history because its leaders stayed focused on execution, innovation, and serving customers. I believe Arvind and his executive team will learn from this, adapt where necessary, and continue building for the future.

Setbacks are temporary. Leadership is measured over years, not a single day. I'm confident IBM will continue to innovate, compete, and succeed over the long run.

I just feel even tho stocks crashed, they will just keep us lol as I don't see any layoffs happened in recent years

The stock prices is down 2% YTD and most analysts expect very little upside. Also, with very high technology spending and in employee salaries, seems like we should expect a sizable layoffs in the near future. Thoughts?

Makes no sense. We either su-k or not. Why such wild swings?

Cost of HSI is more than the revenue it generates. 3% HSI customers occupies more than 50% of network capacity.
Hence more layoffs to reduce overall costs.
Stock price stays high bcoz the volume is low average daily is less than 1/10th volume of Verizon or AT&T.
Markets are getting tricked but will this continue?

I still think this is way too high though. With the current debt, and forthcoming AI apocalypse, this stock is worth $1 !!!!
