Canon global is artificially propping up the stock value with huge buybacks at the end of May and throughout June. They did the exact same in the 2 months right before the RIF bloodbath in early July 2024.
If CUSA leadership is planning another wave of consolidations—particularly targeting specialized or manual internal roles to make way for the automated, U.S.-based remanufacturing model, the post-July 4th window (specifically between July 6 and July 20, 2026) is the exact historical and operational sweet spot.
If you're trying to gauge the temperature in your department over the next few weeks, watch for mid-June invites to "organizational alignment" meetings, sudden, quiet audits of your division’s specific workflow volumes, or any mentions from direct managers of "proof of life" for your department to rationalize its value.
