It was late January, and Pinterest engineer Teddy Martin was on edge about recent layoffs at the company. Martin had just survived a round of cuts, but he and other employees were confused about who was being let go and why, and explanations from top executives including CEO Bill Ready had done little to quell the unease.

It was late January, and Pinterest engineer Teddy Martin was on edge about recent layoffs at the company. Martin had just survived a round of cuts, but he and other employees were confused about who was being let go and why, and explanations from top executives including CEO Bill Ready had done little to quell the unease. So when Martin saw someone mention a tool that would shed light on the scope of the impact, he decided to share it in Slack. The tool was a simple command known as ldapsearch - it aggregated a list of deactivated employee accounts from the directory, organized by office location, spitting out only the number of recently de … Read the full story at The Verge.

The stock market is in the throes of a sell-off, with major U.S. indexes like the Nasdaq-100 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging by more than 10% from their record highs as of March 30. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have sent oil prices soaring, which is stoking fears of an economic slowdown here in the U.S. But one stock in particular started sinking long before the Middle East conflict began. Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) has built some of the world's best data centers for developing artificial intelligence (AI), and demand for its infrastructure is through the roof. However, investors are concerned about the company's rising debts, and the reliability of one of its biggest customers. Oracle stock peaked at around $328 last September, and it has since plummeted by 57%. By one widely used valuation metric, the stock is now at the cheapest level since the AI boom started gathering momentum in early 2023, so could this be a golden buying opportunity for investors?

alexsl Zoom ( ZM ), Freshworks ( FRSH ), and monday.com ( MNDY ) are among the enterprise software companies that could see “meaningful” growth in their free cash flow per share if they executed larger stock buybacks, Needham said. “For the first time, we have seen an increase in large buyback programs which have the potential to actually lower share count rather than just counter SBC dilution, especially given current valuations,” analysts at the firm wrote in a note to clients. “While a change in the FCF/share growth trajectory for our coverage universe may not be meaningful today given current market sentiment on the software space, if our view on value accruing to the software layer last in the cycle proves accurate, we believe these buybacks can drive financially engineered yet meaningful share price gains over time.” Among companies covered by Needham, monday.com, Freshworks, and CS Disco ( LAW ) have the largest percentage of net cash when compared to their market caps. And 10 companies have more than 20% of their market cap in net cash, including the aforementioned companies, as well as Similarweb ( SMWB ) and Via Transportation ( VIA ). If all six companies increased the size of their buybacks (or executed larger ones), all “could all drive meaningful FCF/share growth,” the analysts posited.

Two people reported killed in attack on newly completed suspension bridge after strike splits structure in half Middle East crisis – live updates Donald Trump claimed responsibility for destroying Iran’s largest bridge, a day after he threatened to bomb the country “back to the stone ages” if a deal to end the five-week-long war he started was not reached.

Microsoft Corp. , responding to Wall Street feedback, has pivoted its AI sales strategy to focus on selling Copilot rather than offering it for free as part of a software bundle. Company leadership set and essentially hit “some pretty big audacious goals” for selling Copilot in the quarter that ended in March, said Judson Althoff , chief executive officer of Microsoft’s commercial business, during an internal meeting Thursday, according to people familiar with the remarks. The world’s largest software maker said in January that only about 3% of its customers were paying for Copilot, its flagship artificial intelligence tool for the workplace. The revelation didn’t go over well with some investors, who had hoped more customers would pay for the assistant. The stock has dropped 24% this year through Wednesday’s close, far behind the S&P Index. Through the end of last year, Microsoft was focused on driving free adoption of Copilot for existing office software customers in addition to selling it. Now, in response to analysts’ feedback, the company has zeroed in on persuading corporate customers to pay up, Althoff said in the internal meeting. Microsoft declined to comment. The company’s fiscal quarter ended earlier this week. Microsoft has set bold goals for paid Copilot subscriptions in the current quarter that will be “materially ahead” of the figure reported in January, Althoff said. The executive was responding to a question from an employee about how Microsoft is monetizing its AI tools. Several questions focused on AI strategy and how the company is navigating competition from OpenAI and other rivals. “We’re in a dog fight right now each and every day at the face of every single customer,” Althoff said. Microsoft’s pitch is based on working with all of the best AI models in a secure way, he said. Last month, Microsoft unveiled a new bundle of workplace software with the aim of getting more people to use its AI tools for the office. Its workplace AI tool costs abou...

Ambassador to NATO Matt Whitaker said President Trump is “reevaluating” the U.S.'s membership in the trans-Atlantic alliance. “I think that it’s very clear right now that President Trump is evaluating and reevaluating everything,” Matt Whitaker told Newsmax, according to The Hill . “Whether that is our involvement with NATO, whether that is our support to the European effort in Ukraine, or whether that is anything else the United States is doing.” Whitaker added that Trump had not yet decided on whether the U.S. should pull out of the alliance. “We’re going to move out on his intent when he makes a decision,” Whitaker said. “Right now, everything’s on the table.” The U.S. founded NATO in 1949. The alliance currently has 32 members.
