CAmt be an activist shareholder when your exitsing stock holding will be worth 37% of your original hold! Give them credit, they made money on their investment. And no responsibility or moral obligation to remain inveted wuth this hot steaming mess.
then the stock price drops. and the old guys, well, the old guys who werent always at the big Q, they know whats coming! Grab your popcorn! I know this song!

Had a momentary blip of increase and has lost 1.50 since the announcement.

Why did the market react negatively to today's earnings call?

Xerox's decline has been nothing short of alarming. Over the past year alone, we've witnessed a staggering 59.6% drop, bringing the decline to 80.26% since 2020. Leadership is the cornerstone of any thriving organization, and I'm utterly perplexed by why Steve B remains at the helm amid this losing streak. When I joined the company in 1999, my stock was valued at $70.58; today, it languishes at a mere $3.43.

I've sat through his last dozen or so town halls, and it's clear that Steve has a knack for serving up a buffet of excuses, each one seemingly more inventive than the last. A close friend of John Bruno confided that Steve B's golden parachute is now a financial burden, and no sane executive is eager to captain this sinking ship. Steve's compensation must be recalibrated to reflect the dismal stock performance. John Bruno has yet to add any value, and Louie Pastor seems to be draining the company's vitality, all while we (the workers in the trenches) continue to bail water from this floundering vessel.

The board has been covertly seeking a way to oust Steve, but they're caught in a quandary with this 125-year-old institution—there are no willing successors. And if Steve were to step down voluntarily, the personal cost would be too great for him to bear.

Get your sh-t together Allstate

I'm going with $2.74 down $0.69 (-20%)

Goodwill writedown at -$1.15BN

Anyone with old vmware / Broadcom shares what are you doing?
I've over 100 from when I left and thinking of selling them but not sure when they keep going up

What’s going on ?

$FFIV blames the recent breach for weak guidance, but the real story looks secular. Hyperscalers are commoditizing load balancing, and $NET / $AKAM are squeezing F5’s security edge. 1q rev growth turning negative, FY26 EPS down mid-singles. Stock -5% AH.

How will Cisco's partnership with Nvidia be affected by Nvidia investment in Nokia?

Qualcomm entering datacenter AI GPU market must be the biggest joke of all. Nvidia and AMD are in the GPU market for 10+ years. Even Intel has a data center GPU which nobody uses. Qualcomm comes in yesterday and announces that they are entering the market? The executives managed to fool the market for a day. The stock is sinking back to normal now.

Sona Chowla exiting, Chris Corley as well, more conglomeration at the top with people leading combined departments. Tariff pressure coming down the pike and probably foreseeing a dip in stock price so those pay packages aren’t as appealing. But don’t people want to work with an award winning CEO voted on by her Chicago peers?

It's interesting that the removal of the growth cap hasn't resulted in a significant gain in the stock price, nor has it resulted in Wells Fargo buying up anything. We still seem to be in the continual layoff loop we've been in ever since Charlie came on board. Why aren't we growing now? Surely, there must have been people planning for when the growth cap was lifted.

The layoff news was supposed to save Target by appeasing our shareholders. Usually there’s a nice big spike when layoffs are announced. This news barely made a blip. Was it worth it?

The prognosticators like it so much that T-Mobile's stock price is dropping like a stone.

Even with stock buy backs!

Share price continues to decline after earnings and sales misses. Fiber deployment might be necessary for survival but its not a growth strategy. Fiber is mostly business related - with the economy slowing expect less growth or decline in fiber related revenues. Mobility sales might be a bit better with consumer segment holding up better.

There is no growth driver other than HC reduction in the near term so expect no significant increase in share price even after this sell off. The 16% share price decline since 9-15, which accounts for about four years of dividends, will not be reversed in the near future which is reflected in analyst downgrades. Given the very large decline in share prie prior to the earnings annoucement it is likely the word got out to selected individuals inside and outside the company. The share buyback program has also been a bust having little impact on the share price decline.

What does the future hold? - flat revenues, flat earnings per share, no recovery in share price, no increase in the dividend, a very slow reduction in long term debt (maybe), and a significant reduction in HC.

To be sure AT&T is a slow growth dividend stock that because of technology needs fewer employees over time but just think how much better it would be without $200 billion in long term debt, more spectrum, and better outside management. When Stephenson became CEO the share price was $39.47. When he left it was under $30. Now its under $25. Unfortunately, there is no hope of a change in top management and the BOD. No hope.

And we’re over paying a C list actor and someone in marketing to call out T-Mobile? A competitor whose stock price is 10x ours. We’re doomed. WTF!

We’re a full year into mandatory 5-day RTO and what exactly has it accomplished? The stock is tanking, morale is gone, and the “culture” they promised doesn’t exist.

Wasn’t RTO supposed to be part of some grand plan to save the company? To drive performance? To lift the stock? Because all I see is decline across every metric that matters.

So yeah, maybe it was just another lie. I’m done here. I thought I could stick it out but I can’t do this another year for this dog of a company. Best of luck to all!

Take a look at the FI price history for all years. If you know FI (FISV), you would know that FI has always been a slow and steady stock with 8 splits starting in 1991 and the last being in 2018.

Fiserv was the slow, ever increasing, dependable stock with splits that realized compounding value. It was a great stock to own inside or outside the company.

Look at the odd outlier behavior starting in 2019. It's almost like the stock was severely manipulated because it does not follow the historical trend. Remember, the stock price graph doesn't lie. Even if you don't believe it was manipulated, you can see the fingerprints of something other than a normal Fiserv at least in historical terms.

Some important quotes we can ponder to assess the caliber of our past leader:

"What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security? What am I going to do?”

“You know, one of my great skills, I’m one of the great Googlers on the East Coast," he said. "Put that as the headline for the post: ‘great Googler-in-chief, chief-in-Googler,’ or whatever."

Next stop: sub $20. RTO isn’t working… time to adjust plans and policy in order to save this sinking ship

RTO is really working!
“If you don’t like it leave” is apparently the same thing baldy said to our customers, and they’re leaving.

Huge volume sold today on lower price, sounds like tomorrow’s earnings call will be Farley making excuses.

Love how AK brags every qtr about the "huge and growing AI and hybrid cloud backlog". Yeah right! ISC forecasts by sales is TOTAL BS!!!!! Just put AI or cloud in the product title and bo-m the backlog goes to $1T. SMH!

RTO to blame?

stock jumps 10 pts!. every business unit did extremely well. top brass made lot of money on sold stock options past couple months and probually end of yr future bonus. Pretty sure management will still scream war on cost mantra even though the cat is out of the bag that company earnings doing well and projected earnings as well next year.

Stankey tried to put lipstick on a pig but wallstreet isn’t falling for it.

Down another 5% at the open.

When will the dysfunction end?!?!?

GF's stock and market cap continues to shrink. The analysts finally caught on to the same BS story TC continued to give as CEO, they bought the story long enough for TC and DR (former CFO) to cash in a bunch of their stock at higher prices. So where does GF go now? At around $35/share their market cap would be like $17.5B. Intel offered $25B before the IPO, Mubadala is probably wishing they took that deal now. Let's be honest, GF SLT is like a retread tire, they landed here because nobody else wanted them, none of them were really successful elsewhere. So, what is the solution? The only solution in my opinion is hoping the US govt gets involved, redirects most of the US mfg chips bill dollars to Intel. Intel then spins off foundry as separate company and then with govt funding buys GF and makes them a US owned company. Get rid of all the GF SLT, bring in a totally new set of execs for the combined company and climb the mountain of making Intel Foundry a great company that can battle TSMC. TSMC is good at mfg ramping, but they aren't great at R&D, the engineering staff is technically much stronger and brighter in the US. Intel and IBM were way ahead of TSMC in the past. If things are done right Intel foundry could jump past TSMC for technology competitiveness. However, when the US gov't can't even stay open, the probability of them putting together a smart Chips Bill is very unlikely. I see this scenario as the only way out for GF, otherwise the ship will just continue to sink and eventually submerge!!

For non technical people like me, is Roche a real threat that can replace illumina or is it a tech that can take some market share? Also, Element coming up an HT sequencer? Everyday the competition and news against illumina is getting bad and the stock couldn’t cross the 100$ mark. Even Grail stock was over 100$ today at one point. Are we losing it? Just an worried employee 😢

what wonders private equity does for a company. the IPO is a failure will employees be let go?

LOL. WTF... It goes up, then it goes down, then it goes up and down again. The only thing that changes is number of employees at the Banks.

But hey, poor shareholders….

Why??!!

Are we ready to call RTO a failure and change course? Or do we need to see new lows for the year first?

Sell all the real estate and make wall st happy

I think the timing of the October announcement is telling. I think they are trying to insulate the stock price ahead of the Q3 earnings release.
