Why Shares of DXC Technology Tumbled Today?

Then of Course DXC puts out a SEC Filing

DXC Technology Company (“DXC” or the “Company”) is clarifying the statement issued earlier today in its Form 8-K. Today, the Company is reaffirming guidance for earnings per share of $7.75 to $8.15 for Fiscal 2019, and that it is trending toward the higher end of that range.

Shares of DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) slumped on Wednesday after the head of DXC Americas left the company, according to a memo seen by The Register. The stock was down about 18.4% at 12:00 p.m. EDT.

So what

DXC, which was formed by the merger of Computer Sciences Corporation and the former enterprises services business of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, has seen multiple executives leave this year, including the head of global sales in April. DXC Americas head Karan Puri, who joined the company in January, is now being added to that list.

A memo from CEO Mike Lawrie obtained by The Register announced the news: "Today I am announcing that Karan Puri will be leaving DXC Technology at the end of this week. I know you will join me in wishing Karan well in his future endeavors."

The memo goes on to talk about areas of focus for the Americas region, which include hitting its targets for the year, installing a results-oriented management, and becoming the digital transformation partner of choice.

The Register pointed to a double-digit sales decline in the Americas region as a possible reason for Puri's departure.

I am sure the imperical HR clones are probably writing a new email comms right now to remind DXC staff of corporate policy: that providing company proprietary information, such as internal corporate emails to third-parties, agencies and news media without explicit level 2 consent, will be deemed a most heinous crime.

Any employee found using outlook exchange servers to send emails to domains recognised as being owned my media agencies will be required to attend a meeting with regional authority where they may be subject to disciplinary action, possible legal action and their organs nailed to the datacentre.

But for those of use who no longer work at DXC, such public domain media provides insider news that even DXC staff themselves don't get to hear about.

Well done the free press say I! Lawrie may run a dictatorship within DXC but he can't bully everyone. Eventually the truth will get out and his giant Ponzi scheme will be exposed for water it is!

The Usa share price is going up and down at moment (cirla approx swings between 500 - 750) so USa shares are a bit turbulent at moment. However in D''' instance no way would this result in a fall of 18% in one go on its own and it's probably tied in with Lawrie firing / dismissing the Us Director of sales in less than one year in it's job.

It is good that register.co.uk to report news on the IT business good or bad and review sites like glassdoor and this one to potentially warn of any new clients, employee joining a company to think long and hard.

Wow - this massive! As this news had such a major impact on the DXC share price why did Lawrie not announce it to the markets through the proper channels in the first place? What else is he covering up? Thank goodness for outlets such as the Register or DXC would simply get away with its abuses!

The paid shills are out early for this post. I'm sure theregister will report any good news in DXC if ever any happens

TheRegister report IT news, I'm sure they'd report good news if ever there was any at DXC.

The reason the share price tumbled today was Lawrie firing the director of sales after less than a year in the job and not being given a chance to do the job - it pretty much proves that he doesn't have a clue what he's doing (not that any insiders were ever in doubt about that!). On top of that the company said they were firing him because they were haemorrhaging business.
