Stock crashed 30%, are layoffs inevitable?

Over the last 5 years PEP stock is down 14%.

KO stock up 43% over the same period.

That is an astounding failure. That is 100% on Ramon. The global "headwinds" were the same for both. That utterly incompetent fool of a CEO has got to go. I don't understand how Elliott Management kept him. How the PEP BoD kept him. What is going on?

I see the market was up again today, and the OpenText price ... oh, crud ... down again.

This company's outlook is bleak as long as Jenkins, his pupppet CEO, the so-called Board of Directors, Bell, Muhi, Rai, Berry, Cione, Acedo, and all the other Jenkins minions are in charge.

As a stockholder I demand change!

Don't these analysts learn from the other analysts that previously made similar predictions and wound-up with mud on their faces?

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

After the $130 all-time high, it has continued to fall and now is down for the past 1 month. How long will it stay above $100 until the street realizes Cisco is just rebranding the usual Switching orders as AI Infra? There’s no meaningful improvement in other BUs like Wireless or SBG - more than the traditional single digit growth.

You could be at IBM right now 📉

I joined FDC back in 2016 in Omaha and took a low ball salary because it was nowhere and I had to stay in there for family. FDC got my super prof service at a low price comparing to other locations in Atlanta, or NYC, etc. In 2020 during Pandemic I moved to another state in MW and was able to work remotely. However, right after Covid, Mr Frank ordered RTO and I said goodbye to this company and quickly landed another remote work with a 40% pay increase offer - I didn't even bargain. I guess many people leaving FISV were in the same situation. I didn't specifically shop for other jobs as my family didn't need that much of my salary - I was just keeping myself busy. but thanks Mr Frank you made me make the right move. Now I landed another hybrid job in yet another state and got another 20% raise. lol. Fisv may never figure out why their stock su-ks so much. BTW, I sold all my employee stock at around $100 when I parted.

Good Job Team PEP, YTD Return for the Dow is positive 8.48%, S&P500 is positive 10.20% and the NASDAQ is positive 12.79% and then we have the big bloated hapless no-clue dinosaur PEP with a NEGATIVE 3% YTD return. The BS PowerPoint and cliche-based management culture isn't cutting it anymore.

Notice how much of an impact she made

Layoffs may boost stock short-term, but hidden costs (morale, attrition, lost talent) can outweigh gains long-term. Data may vary by case.

Now down trend start of stock

Execs doing a great job, motivating and inspiring our employees. Winning in the marketplace.

Cream always rises to the top.

The market reacting accordingly.

Gotta do something before earnings release in a couple of weeks.

Feeling grateful to be part of such a successful company! Maybe the RTO policy has effectively separated the wheat from the chaff.

Headed back to $20 stock Jeff, shoulda sold bud. Reward your good employees better.

AT&T's stock price has decreased more than 29% in the past year. Will this force more layoffs? How can investors not know how badly managed AT&T is?

what a joke, she blames a fast-changing "AI-first world" and the need to "invest in high-return opportunities" for wiping out 700+ jobs, but she forgot to mention who those high returns are actually for.

Just two months ago, CDW’s board authorized a massive $1 BILLION stock buyback expansion and approved yet another heavy cash dividend... all to artificially prop up the stock price for Wall Street (which didn't even work. The company has plenty of capital; they are just choosing to sacrifice the employees who "got them here" to protect corporate profit margins so don't fall for their "aw shucks" Tiny Tim act.

To top it off, while she claims these decisions are "never taken lightly," there isn't a single SEC filing showing that she or any other C-suite executive took a penny of a pay cut (yes, this is all public information). Chris Leahy’s $15 million compensation package (an increase of 20% from the previous year, mind you) remains completely untouched while we get to take 100% of the hit.

My stocks are turning into ashes. What a bad decision it is in name of transition to AI and making employees as scape goats. I never received recognition, money, promotion, perks, hikes. All I was given was a little stock bonus over years. These stocks linger in lower 100's when META and other stock go beyond 500.
Useless management style going with adhoc decisions always. You layoff talented employees and work with ... .....
Stocks might come up but not employee morale. Its completely broken now. Even you stand up its going to take years to rebuild this. You build an empire in sky without a customer and without any money losing all your talented people.
If stock rises up again, I will sell immediately. All my years of blood shedding for this company has evaporated

But don’t sweat it. We are going to have a monster quarter I am sure. Will put all doubters to rest.

Matter of time stock will be at $19!!

the market knows we are swirling the drain.
It knows NOT to reward us because we are not doing anything that should be rewarded.

We are hiring and have returned to growth

Hundreds of open positions with a clear hiring and go to market strategy

The markets love us and are rewarding us with a solid stock price

SOS, AT&T bottoming out…

The stock is completely fu---d, which is his only job. How is this guy still employed? It’s absurd that he thinks he has any respect from any employees.

..price increases, a new 52 week low stock price every day, sowing distrust among the employees, lack of leadership in the top 3 tiers, running the CFO off, sc--wing up the Firstnet. Did I miss anything? Is it even possible to perform more poorly?

Not that I'm surprised and it isn't shocking that earnings were dismal and the stock is falling fast. What's next? The Dow replaces Nike? This is a sad time for Nike. I pray for a recovery.

Down $7.50 so far today. How low can it go???

Based on the news today, it looks like we really hate our customers so I guess the strategy is backwards growth.

Ed Whitacre handed over a Golden Goose to his replacements and they ki-led it. We lost our Dow status, drowning in debt, stock price declines and tarnished by failed mergers and other miscellaneous tangents!

Will the Board continue to increase the dividend in September, or keep it flat, now that the company is no longer part of the DJIA?

Maybe it is time to reinvest in 'the Network' instead of social justice warrior networks. Elon Musk solved the rural broadband issue, while this company bobbled the ball again.

Maybe they should keep increasing the dividend, as none of the strategy groups have come up with a single investment that has returned its cost of capital in more than a decade. See the stock price for details, should there be any doubters!

Congratulations to BB and his team for doing a great work. Wall Street seems to like what they are seeing. Enjoy the rise in tide in the shares.

Great! Verizon has been booted from the Dow!

Alphabet will join mega-cap tech peers Nvidia, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft in the blue-chip index.

Verizon had represented just around one-half of a percentage point in the index because of its low share price, S&P Global said. The Dow is a price-weighted index, meaning that each member stock is weighted based on its share price. As a result, a company with a higher price per share will have more sway over the index.

How has no exec internally brought up the lawsuit about securities fraud. The silence is deafening.

E.g

Meanwhile the C level still have their off-sites with expensive food and drinks like the world is rosy. And the stock keeps sinking lower

So, Oracle execs, you laid me off on March. OK.
Could you at least do the job you were hired for and make Oracle's stock go higher so I can sell these miserable shares at a good price?

DXC have finally recieved $213,560,494.98 $213 million) from Tata Consultancy Services in a landmark trade secrets case. Thats a huge 15%/$1.2 equivalent DXCs stock value.

Stroke of luck for Rarwul he can stretch it 2 more quarters doing nothing.
