SentinelOne provides tepid quarterly forecast, to cut 8% jobs

SentinelOne forecast second-quarter revenue below analysts' expectations and said it will cut about 8% of its workforce. The company framed the layoffs as a reallocation toward growth areas including AI, data, and cloud. The guidance miss and job cuts are negative for near-term sentiment, though the strategic investment focus partly offsets the headline.
