On June 1, Wix.Com rose 8.13% in regular trading, trading at $60.565/share, with trading volume of $43.06 million. The rally was driven by market optimism surrounding the company's announced workforce restructuring plan.
Wix recently confirmed plans to cut approximately 1,000 jobs, representing roughly 20% of its total workforce of about 5,277 employees. CEO Avishai Abrahami cited rapid AI technology iteration and the sustained appreciation of the Israeli shekel against the US dollar as key cost pressures necessitating the restructuring. The move comes after Wix's Q1 earnings report significantly missed market expectations, triggering a one-day stock plunge of approximately one-third. The stock had already declined over 51% in the prior year.
The market now views the layoff initiative as a constructive cost optimization signal. Combined with broad strength across the Internet Services & Infrastructure sector — where CoreWeave gained 14.06%, MongoDB rose 16.92%, Okta climbed 13.26%, Snowflake added 9.99%, and Cloudflare rose 7.90% — Wix shares extended their rebound trajectory.
