Teads, the advertising technology company formed from the merger of Israel's Outbrain and France's Teads, is laying off approximately 180 employees, representing 10% of its workforce. This is the second major round of cuts in ten months, following a previous layoff of 200 employees. The move aims to achieve annual cost savings of $35-40 million as the company contends with a severe 90% drop in its market value, which now stands at around $70 million. While the Israeli branch was largely spared in the earlier round, it will be affected this time, though development teams are expected to see less impact. The layoffs, announced in December 2025, are primarily set to occur before year's end, with some extending into early 2026.
