Oracle Plans $20 Billion Bond and Share Sale to Fund AI Expansion
Oracle plans to raise $20 billion through bond and share sales to fund its AI and cloud infrastructure expansion, as revealed in recent regulatory filings. The funds will support capital spending, debt repayment, acquisitions, dividends, and share buybacks. Shares fell nearly 5% amid investor concerns, extending a 33% decline this year. Oracle aims to triple revenue by fiscal 2030, expecting capital spending to peak this year and next, with no more than $20 billion additional AI financing planned through 2030. The bond sale includes six tranches maturing between 2029 and 2046, while share pricing is expected at an 11% discount.
