BusinessAI-Linked Layoffs Fail to Boost Stock Prices for Most S&P 500 Companies
New data shows that more than half of S&P 500 companies that announced AI-linked layoffs saw their stock prices fall, with an average decline of about 25 percent.
Recent research shows that among S&P 500 companies, 23 companies have laid off workers due to artificial intelligence.
More than half of these companies experienced stock price declines.
The average decline magnitude was approximately 25 percent, indicating that investors do not approve of these layoffs.
Many companies believe that using AI to replace employees can reduce costs.
However, market reaction demonstrates that investors worry this approach may impact the company's long-term competitiveness.
Experts point out that reducing employees does not necessarily improve company earnings.
