Last month, GitLab shares [dropped](https://sherwood.news/markets/gitlab-falls-on-workforce-reduction-plan-tied-to-agentic-era/) after it announced a restructuring plan, slashing its country footprint by 30%, and today it confirmed that 350 team members would be cut. The company said it expects the restructing to be complete by the end of FY 2027.\n\nShares of GitLab were down about 15% year to date heading into the report.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gitlab-shares-soar-on-earnings-and-revenue-beat", "canonical_source": "https://sherwood.news/markets/gitlab-shares-soar-on-earnings-and-revenue-beat/", "published_at": "2026-06-02 20:18:48+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-02 21:57:16.605179+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "ai-startups", "mlops"], "entities": ["GitLab", "Bill Staples", "GitLab Duo Agent Platform"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gitlab-shares-soar-on-earnings-and-revenue-beat", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gitlab-shares-soar-on-earnings-and-revenue-beat.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gitlab-shares-soar-on-earnings-and-revenue-beat.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gitlab-shares-soar-on-earnings-and-revenue-beat.jsonld"}}
