Innodata Shares Plummet 26% Following Reports of International Layoffs
Innodata (INOD) shares experienced a significant decline, dropping over 26% during midday trading following reports of mass layoffs in India and the Philippines. The company reportedly terminated nearly 550 employees in India—representing more than 5% of its total workforce—citing a 'ramp-down of business assignment' as the primary reason for the cuts. The sudden nature of the dismissals has led investors to conclude that a major client may have unexpectedly canceled a significant project. This loss of revenue is particularly concerning given Innodata's premium valuation, which currently sits at 27 times forward earnings estimates. Market participants are looking toward the company's third-quarter earnings report scheduled for November 5 for further clarity on the financial impact of these lost contracts and the overall stability of its remaining client base.
