Most Common Reasons

HP Inc. is implementing a 'Future Ready Transformation' plan to drive structural cost savings through digital transformation, portfolio optimization, and operational efficiency. This initiative is also aimed at rebalancing the company's focus amidst a soft consumer PC market and increasing investments in artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate product development, improve customer satisfaction, and boost productivity. The layoffs are a strategic pivot to shed legacy operations and align with future AI-driven growth areas, partly in response to a brutal post-pandemic slump in consumer PC sales and weak guidance due to U.S. trade regulations.
