NextImg:Roku lays off 300 workers in latest cuts

Roku fired around 300 workers this week, around 10% of its workforce, in further restructuring.

On top of the firings, Roku said it would be slowing hiring, rethinking its content portfolio and reducing office space in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The firings are part of a greater restructuring at the company that saw 400 other layoffs in the past year. The company said the firings and overall restructuring of the company are due to an economic environment that continues to create “unease.”

Despite this, Roku continues to rake in the profits. The company’s third-quarter estimates project revenues up to $875 million and Rocku’s stock price jumped 10% on Wednesday after news of the layoffs broke.

The company also implied that the ongoing Hollywood labor strikes could cut into its profits in the long run since the strikes will negatively impact consumer entertainment spending.
