Summary
Oracle shares fell 8%, leaving the stock down about 6% this year, after the company flagged an additional $20 billion capital raise and reported negative $23.7 billion in annual free cash flow.
The selloff came despite a quarterly beat: revenue rose 21% to $19.18 billion and adjusted EPS reached $2.03, as investors focused on AI spending that drove capital expenditures up 162% to $55.7 billion.
Oracle said it plans to raise $40 billion through debt and equity financing, including the previously announced $20 billion share sale, while new CFO Hilary Maxson projected roughly $70 billion of net capex outlay in fiscal 2027.
Growth indicators stayed strong: cloud infrastructure revenue jumped 93% to $5.8 billion, remaining performance obligations climbed 363% to $638 billion, and Oracle maintained its $90 billion fiscal 2027 revenue target while lifting adjusted EPS guidance to $8.05.
