Ciena Corporation (Ciena) is planning to eliminate 4-5% of its workforce despite its Q3 2025 earnings beating expectations.
“We delivered another strong quarterly performance that reflects our leadership in high-speed connectivity and ongoing accelerated customer demand as the network becomes fundamental to the underpinning, growth, and monetization of AI,” CEO Gary Smith said in the company’s earnings release.
“With visibility well into fiscal year 2026, we are confident in the continued momentum of our business and remain focused on further expanding our operating leverage as we continue to grow.”
It remains unclear if any Canadian employees at Ciena are being let go.
According to LinkedIn, the company currently has more than 2,700 workers in the country.
