This move comes as the company issued a weaker-than-expected profit outlook, with projected full-year earnings of <strong>$2.90\u2013$3.20 per share<\/strong>, falling short of analyst estimates. The tech giant attributes the challenging forecast to soaring memory-chip costs and aims to leverage <em>AI tools<\/em> to reduce operational expenses, targeting <strong>$1 billion in annual savings<\/strong>.
