The restructuring introduces near-term uncertainty and potential severance costs, but the reaffirmed guidance suggests underlying business momentum is intact. Watch for the June 2 earnings call for restructuring scope and Q1 results. The stock may trade down on restructuring risk but could recover if cost savings and strategic pivot are well-received.
