Microsoft will lay off some employees who work on mixed reality, a spokesperson told CNBC on Monday. Although the cuts will affect the department that contributes to the HoloLens 2 augmented reality headset, Microsoft plans to continue selling the device. "Earlier today we announced a restructuring of the Microsoft's Mixed Reality organization," the spokesperson said in an email. In addition, we will continue to invest in W365 to reach the broader Mixed Reality hardware ecosystem. In December, Microsoft further reduced investment in augmented reality and virtual reality, which blocks out the surrounding world, when it deprecated Windows Mixed Reality, which included tools for running applications in head-mounted displays.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, attends the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit in San Francisco, California, U.S. November 16, 2023. Former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. OpenAI's board announced late Friday that it was removing Altman and replacing him on an interim basis with technology chief Mira Murati. This did not dissuade a group of OpenAI investors, who were pushing to bring Altman back as CEO over the weekend. Late Sunday night, OpenAI said it was bringing on board former Twitch CEO Emmett Shear to run the artificial intelligence company.

The announcement left OpenAI and Microsoft workers "completely shocked," people inside both companies told Business Insider. Another shock came about an hour later when OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman announced that he had "quit" over Altman's ouster. Perhaps there were signs all was not well when it came to OpenAI's business, one Microsoft employee told BI, which Microsoft has reportedly backed to the tune of at least $10 billion. Are you an OpenAI employee or someone with a tip or insight to share? Are you a Microsoft employee?

There's a "rich" catalyst path ahead for Microsoft shares, according to Citi. The firm initiated a positive 90-day catalyst watch on Microsoft shares. While the tech giant's stock is up nearly 40% year to date, it has lagged on a relative basis since it issued disappointing quarterly revenue guidance in July. Microsoft shares have declined 5% since, while other shares in its peer group have gained 4.9%. Radke's initial read on fiscal first-quarter earnings is more positive owing to inputs on cloud consumption trends and stabilization in the PC market.
