A significant $21.1M quarter-over-quarter reduction in R&D investment, linked to lower headcount, indicates a major strategic shift to control costs. This may create a need for tools that boost engineering productivity or offer outsourced R&D capabilities to fill gaps created by the cuts.
Filing excerpt
Research and development expenses decreased $21.1 million, or 26.1%, for the three months ended December 27, 2025, compared to the three months ended December 28, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to ongoing savings resulting from our cost transformation initiatives, including lower personnel-related costs due to lower headcount, and lower product development costs.
