Event summary

Cisco Systems plans to lay off nearly 4,000 employees, representing less than 5% of its global workforce, as it strategically shifts resources towards artificial intelligence (AI), security, and networking. This move follows a stronger-than-expected Q3 FY2026 earnings report, with record revenue of $15.8 billion and a 20% surge in shares post-announcement. The company projects significant growth in AI infrastructure orders and revenue for FY2026.
