SAP (NYSE:SAP) layoffs are a hot topic on Thursday as the company plans to reduce its workforce by 3,000 employees.

SAP intends to cut its global workforce by 2.5%. It expects to see 300 million euros to 350 million euros in savings starting in 2024 as a result. This comes as the company seeks out ways to reduce costs as tech companies struggle in the current economy.

Included in those cost-cutting plans is SAP intending to sell its stake in Qualtrics International (NASDAQ:XM). It bought the company in 2018 for $8 billion and took it public in 2021 with a valuation of about $21 billion.

According to SAP, the sale of its remaining XM stock would result in a large one-time profit for the company. It’s worth mentioning that this comes as Qualtrics International gains today alongside strong Q4 earnings results.

Like many tech companies, SAP saw a tremendous amount of growth during the Covid-19 pandemic. That came as demand for its cloud services increased during lockdowns. However, that time has passed and inflation is causing many tech companies to lay off employees. Today’s news has SAP joining that trend.

It also brings strong trading of SAP stock with some 1 million shares on the move today. This is already above the company’s daily average trading volume of 1 million shares. In addition to that, SAP stock is down 1.7% as of Thursday morning.
