Nothing will change with layoffs and outsourcing to low cost/low skill sites unless…

1. Stock price suffers
2. Government intervention
3. Major incident, eg. Valdez, Texas City ….

Don’t expect anything more from our selfish, self gratifying leadership.

“But look at the stock price” was used as something of a justification for decisions like RTO and veneration of Stankey. Looked today though and the stock is effectively flat since early March and down vs. 6 months ago. S&P 500 is way up in that time period. Thank goodness I move my 401k match out of T and into investments that actually do something (for now)

Market may not have liked the news, and ambiguous and misleading press release.

Are employees protest selling?

Fortinet, laid off some employees this month after their stock took a nose dive.

There's a lot of talk about growing share price of Honeywell Aerospace. Does that mean remaining Honeywell will take a beating such that it affects 401(k) and other benefits? Would we bear the brunt of the remaining company and how would non-Aero people be affected?

I dont cate how much they say it to the employees. They dont care about us. When it's the employees that make them money.

Gary Cohn doing more "whisper number" interviews on Jim Cramer etc just prior to Q3 results showing IBM hitting consensus estimates BUT lucky to grow top line revenue more than 2%?

layoff done. investment coming in. back to the good old days. what do you think ?

Play politics, leveraging US government to stamp on competitors, use Trump to pressure other company to donate, tell lies while its own chips are not made by itself but TSMC.

Just high talk and play politics can bump up stock 30%.

Big sells by Prem and Talik in september

Take it with a grain of salt as he tends to be in bed with Comms Departments:

“Alright, now I gotta tell you, Accenture’s come down enough. It hit a 52-week low. I mean, how bad could it really be? It hit a 52-week low today. I don’t think it’s that bad. The only thing I would change is that when you do, when you put it in spell check, it always goes to CAN instead of ACN. But that’s not really their fault. I think that at 18 times earnings, I’m willing to pull the trigger, Accenture, and that’s the first time I’ve said that because I have really disliked the stock.”

These guys are all sc-m. "Our company is so healthy, our projections for growth have never been better"...... yet, this rat a*s mofer is selling

Will the stock go up? What do you think of the earnings?

Shrink, shrink goes the workforce.
The price of stock follows.
Down, down goes NPS.
Investor, customer and employee trust all lost
Ring ring goes the mckinsey cash register. The only thing that goes up
3 years. We’ve seen enough.
Time for the board to make a change

Well, End Of Quarter, guess you all know what that means?

Stock hits new low
Pipeline slows
So it goes.

How did the Titanic go?

Down.

Every move made by the former regime was designed to pump up the stock price so that the supreme leader could cash out. Work 9 hours a day? Stock price. Track your whereabouts? Stock price. Every. Single. Move. While this was going on the leader negotiated a government job - one that he didn’t want, was unqualified for, and won’t keep very long. The kicker: he did it to escape capital gains taxes on the stock sale. On your hard work. On your 9 hour days. The stock, by the way, is down over $100 per share since he cashed out. That’s not just down - that’s a crash. He’s laughing. His cronies are, too. Maybe now that the evil has left the building things might start becoming normal again. I hope so. Nothing wrong with a boring company.

For the first time, PSTG’s market cap exceeds NTAP. A competitor half our size and half our age is now worth more than us.

CEO got a 50% raise earlier this year. Meanwhile since he started his role as CEO, stock price is down by 50%. Make it make sense

For the last 3 years Phillips 66 has been undergoing what Go Go calls Business Transformation. "Transformation" has basically consisted of laying off a few employees at a time once or twice a year and vague promise that things are going to improve in some future year.
The objective of this transformation was to unlock value in the stock price to bring it more in line with our 2 main peers. It has failed miserably at this goal, as of today our stock price is $30 dollars and $50 dollars lower than our 2 main peers stock price.

Up down and then down again and then up, never breaks 90

I hate stock buybacks. I think they are a sign that management has no idea what to do with their hard earned cash flow. In Chevron's case, cash flow created by prior leadership. I get the argument that if you can get a higher return from stock appreciation than the investment options, they make sense. However, when you have been buying back millions - may billions of dollars worth of stock and the stock price is middling, at best, what gives? Legacy projects create legacy cash flow - some, not all. Stock buybacks, by my read, have destroyed value because they have kept us from investing in, and worse, pursuing, legacy opportunities. What say you?

Imperial isn’t doing anything amazing right now. I know the ins and outs of IOL, and there is nothing new to push the stock price so high and so fast.

Now the question is who is buying IOL?? ExxonMobil is not taking over for sure, because they will not buy IOL at this high stock price when they have full control of the company with their +69% ownership.

We're coming back. ELT is doing work.

Investors need to step in. Target spends millions on Target together and there’s no return on investment other than people who get pumped back full of kool aid so they can keep working for the big red machine. Stock is at 80 now and it’s deplorable behavior to spend at a time like this. Layoffs need to happen asap to get rid of those still working from home adding little to no value!

Jane is giving speeches /interviews on greener grass for M&A deals that is yet to come and stock price is ticking up. Is this some sort of a scheme to get price up, exercise option and then exit the bank?

• Paramount Skydance is working with an investment bank as it prepares an offer for Warner Bros. Discovery, according to people familiar with the matter.
• Warner Bros. Discovery shares closed up more than 28% on Thursday, the stock’s best day ever. Shares of Paramount Skydance closed up 15%.
• The Wall Street Journal first reported the recently merged Paramount Skydance was preparing a takeover bid for the entirety of WBD.

Unrealistic results! The only one buying is OpenAI.

The real story isn’t that Wall Street doubts Oracle — it’s that they’re buying every bit of the spin. The market’s reaction after the earnings call just hands leadership a license for more cuts.

To be fair, none of us should be shocked. Everyone who signed on here knew the culture, the playbook, and the trade-offs. Oracle has always been masterful at controlling optics: Salesforce and others get front-page coverage for layoffs, while Oracle quietly trims headcount in the shadows.

The 10-K makes it plain — only a fraction of the 2026 restructuring has hit the books. That’s a roadmap, not a surprise. And while Larry takes the crown as the wealthiest man alive, thousands are out of work. That’s not “new,” it’s just the ethos we all bought into.

For those still employed, don’t confuse relief with security. The market just rewarded this strategy, which means we’ll see it again.

NEW LEADERSHIP ASAP! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

Wow! Payday for Larry Ellison! CK and DA are watching

Larry made $110,000,000,000 just this morning. The stock is absolutely going crazy right now.

Amazing that after causing so much damage to people’s lives and families that this is the reward.

The concept of karma doesn’t exist, being a ba----d and being evil is rewarded in this world.

It feels like this world is overdue for a total cleansing, an extinction level meteor needs to just hit Earth to heal it.

Oracle’s stock just exploded 40% in one day, the biggest move by any company this size in over 30 years. Why? Because they’re winning massive AI and cloud deals, building the future, and actually innovating. They’re projecting half a trillion in revenue backlog, and Wall Street is rewarding them for results.

Notice what they aren’t doing: forcing employees to waste hours commuting just to swipe a badge and sit in fluorescent-lit cubes. Oracle isn’t obsessed with RTO and control theater, they’re obsessed with delivering value.

Meanwhile, AT&T and other RTO-obsessed dinosaurs are draining morale, bleeding talent, and still struggling to grow. Employees are exhausted, productivity hasn’t improved, and customers don’t care if their rep is in Dallas, Atlanta, or their kitchen. All they care about is service that works.

Let’s be real… badge swipes don’t drive revenue. Results and innovation do. Oracle just proved it to the world. AT&T “leadership” could learn something here stop pretending RTO is about collaboration. It’s about control, and it’s ki-ling this company. Do something innovative instead!

If Oracle can ignite history-making growth without dragging people back into cubes, then what’s AT&T’s excuse?

@OP+1k4876rt2 Bumping this post forward...This post had it all right.

Just how bad is it for SAP? Well our stock price has plummeted 12 % in just the last month and shows no sign of a rebound. It is tracking straight down.

But go have a look at what Oracle is doing just today... Stock is on par to set a record - it is up since opening this morning 35%. All due to some very big scores on AI - and where is SAP while others are winning ?? Your guess is as good as mine. This kind of beat down would not have happened under previous leadership teams.

We are planning of dumping our Maintenance Biz, which was responsible for most of our stable revenue over the last several decades and no indication as to what platform will replace this significant revenue stream.

It's hard to watch.

As was stated in the referenced post, CK and DA had better get their act together real soon, or SAP will be lost for good against our competitors.

Fireside chat “I am more confident in our strategy than I have ever been”
The man is deluded.
Future performance is normally determined by previous performance and all that has happened under SB tenure is chaos, confusion, reducing results, reducing stock price

SUNW has contributed $40b net profit since the merger. This is actual revenue and not pie in the sky "booked revenue". SUNW hardware is the ORCL ca$h cow which pays your bonus, RSUs, and pay raises. Explains the stock price rise.

The stock + 28% pre-market is based on backlog news - Safra said about $455B - 4 multi-billion contracts - so stock-market is buying this, and LE + $70B. Then this backlog is more important than Reve/EPS which was not delivered. Maybe this aligned with META +$600B CAPEX - what Mark said being with Trump last week, but then people said it's impossible based on shareholders. It's AI FOMO until it's not.
Maybe O will do its own LLM model?
So people are not as important if everything is going UP. Who cares. FOMO until change.

What are your thoughts on when, or even if, NKE gets back to $100. I need my ESPP to get back in the green so I can officially abandon Nike forever.

Dismal Jobs Report and Schwab Stock price down by ~5-6%. Are we seeing Rick’s cost cutting approach backfiring or strategic? Will possible Fed. rate cut even matter?
