GoPro will lay off about 23% of its workforce, or roughly 145 employees, by the end of 2026 as part of a restructuring plan aimed at reducing costs and improving profitability.

The company said the layoffs will begin in the second quarter and are expected to cost between $11.5 million and $15 million, primarily due to severance and healthcare obligations.

The move follows a $9 million quarterly loss reported in 2025 and reflects increasing pressure on hardware makers operating in a crowded and slowing market.

GoPro is facing competition from both specialized rivals and smartphones, whose camera capabilities have improved significantly in recent years. The company is betting on its new GP3 processor to help revive growth, but said its immediate focus remains on expense reduction.

The layoffs highlight broader challenges across the technology sector, with 2026 shaping up to be another difficult year for employment as companies continue to restructure amid shifting demand and market conditions.
