On June 3, GitLab declined 5.06% in pre-market trading, trading at $30.06/share, with trading volume of $237,900. The stock came under pressure following a mixed earnings report and a significant restructuring announcement.
GitLab reported Q1 fiscal 2027 adjusted earnings of $0.23 per share on revenue of $264.2 million, beating analyst expectations of $0.21 EPS and $254.2 million in revenue, representing 23% year-over-year revenue growth. However, the company issued weaker-than-expected Q2 guidance, projecting adjusted EPS of $0.17 to $0.18 versus the consensus estimate of $0.19, on revenue of $272 million to $274 million.
Compounding the weak forward outlook, GitLab announced it will lay off 350 full-time employees, approximately 14% of its workforce, and plans to exit 22 countries, shrinking its geographic footprint by roughly 37%. While Q1 results were strong, the aggressive restructuring plan raised market concerns about medium-term growth prospects. The broader Systems Software sector also traded lower, with Palo Alto Networks down 3.42%, Oracle down 1.94%, and ServiceNow down 1.04%, adding further downside pressure.
