Summary
Commerce.com shares surged 21% to $3.13 after the company detailed a restructuring plan targeting $60M-$80M in annual cost cuts, with $3M of savings expected this year and full benefit in 2027. The plan includes staffing reductions and AI-driven efficiencies, and management guided for $4.2M-$8.8M in Q3 and $4.3M-$17.5M in Q4 restructuring expenses. The company raised its full-year adjusted operating income outlook to $31M-$37M from $28M-$34M, while maintaining revenue guidance of $336.5M-$344.5M. The board also authorized a $50M buyback over two years. This follows the earlier Reuters report on the plan and the 8-K filed this morning, but the stock's 21% move and the specific expense and buyback details are new. The raised guidance and buyback signal management confidence, though the restructuring costs will pressure near-term earnings.
