Investing.com — Stitch Fix slumped Thursday as the apparel e-retailer reportedly plans to slash 15% of its workforce to lower costs and maintain its path toward profitable growth.
Stitch Fix (NASDAQ:SFIX) fell 5% following the news.
The report comes just ahead of the company’s fiscal second quarter report due after the market close.
“We’ve taken a renewed look at our business and what is required to build our future,” noted Stitch Fix CEO Elizabeth Spaulding, according to an internal memo that was seen by CNBC. “While this was an incredibly difficult decision, it was one needed to make to position ourselves for profitable growth.”
The bulk of the job cuts was in corporate roles and styling leadership positions.
