Oracle Shares Decline Amid Strong Earnings and Increased AI Spending Plans
Oracle reported better-than-expected Q4 earnings with revenue of $19.18 billion and adjusted profit of $2.11 per share. Despite this, its shares fell nearly 9-10% in after-hours trading due to concerns over aggressive AI infrastructure spending and rising debt. The company plans up to $95 billion in capital expenditures for fiscal 2027, including nearly $40 billion in combined debt and equity financing, reflecting its push to compete with cloud leaders like Amazon and Microsoft.
