What Happened?

Atlassian (TEAM) stock is under pressure after the company announced it would cut roughly 1,600 jobs — about 10% of its workforce.

CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes framed the layoffs as necessary to “self-fund further investment in AI and enterprise sales, while strengthening our financial profile.”

The cuts will cost the company between $225 million and $236 million in charges, with most of the restructuring expected to wrap up by the end of June.

This isn’t Atlassian’s first round of cuts. Back in 2023, the company trimmed around 500 employees. This time, the scale is far larger.

Cannon-Brookes was careful to say that AI isn’t replacing workers outright, but acknowledged that it’s changing which skills the company needs.

“This is primarily about adaptation,” he wrote. “We are reshaping our skill mix and changing how we work to build for the future.”

What the Market Is Telling Us About Atlassian Stock

Atlassian stock has lost more than half its value this year, caught up in a broad software sell-off driven by fears around generative AI tools like Anthropic’s Claude Cowork, which is eating into demand for traditional software platforms.

The stock is now down 84% from its 2021 peak — a sharp fall for a company that was a standout winner during the remote-work boom.

That said, the underlying business isn’t falling apart.

  • Atlassian stock has actually seen revenue growth accelerate for three straight quarters.
  • The company reported its first-ever $1 billion cloud revenue quarter in Q2, and its Rovo AI product crossed 5 million monthly active users.
  • CEO Cannon-Brookes has been unusually bullish on the earnings call, pointing to strong enterprise deal flow and growing customer commitments.

The layoffs look less like a business in trouble and more like a company trying to get leaner and faster.

Atlassian stock may still be pricing in too much fear — but with profitability still elusive after years of losses, investors want to see results.
