Oracle Shares Tumble
Digest more
Oracle Corp. shares fell more than 10% in extended trading after the company reported a jump in spending on AI data centers and other equipment, rising outlays that are taking longer to translate into cloud revenue than investors want.
Shares in Larry Ellison’s database company fell as much as 16 per cent on Thursday, before trimming its losses to close down 10.8 per cent. The cost to protect against falls in its debt also jumped. The move came as Oracle reported revenues of $16.1bn in the last quarter, up 14 per cent from the previous year but below analysts’ estimates.
It is a far cry from the company’s last quarterly results, released in September, when news of a series of AI deals boosted its bottom line and saw its share price soar 40 percent, briefly making founder and CTO Ellison the world’s richest man.
