AIMPACT news, May 14 (UTC+8): According to msx data, Cisco (CSCO.O) hit a new all-time high after announcing a new round of layoffs and stepping up AI investment. The company said it will cut nearly 4,000 employees, representing less than 5% of its total workforce. According to regulatory filings, this restructuring is expected to incur up to $1 billion in pre-tax costs, with about $450 million to be recognized in the current fiscal quarter, mainly related to severance pay and other restructuring-related expenses. CEO Chuck Robbins said in a letter to employees, “Although we are reducing headcount in some areas, we are also making clear and strategically meaningful investments—especially in chips, optics, security, and internal employee AI applications.” (Source: ODAILY)
