SpaceX IPO Takes Centre Stage as Markets Weigh Iran Peace Prospects and Adobe Leadership Changes: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJune 12, 2026 5:57 AM
IH Market News Futures Trade Cautiously Ahead of Key Market Events U.S. stock index futures were little changed on Friday as investors focused on two major developments: the highly anticipated stock market debut of SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) and growing expectations that a diplomatic agreement could bring an end to the conflict between the United States and Iran. By 03:13 ET (07:13 GMT), Dow futures were broadly flat, while S&P 500 futures slipped 0.2% and Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.6%. Wall Street finished higher in the previous session as traders reacted to rapidly changing headlines surrounding the Middle East. Optimism over a potential peace agreement helped ease concerns about energy-driven inflation, offsetting stronger-than-expected U.S. producer price data. Analysts at Deutsche Bank noted that weekly initial jobless claims reached their highest level in four months, adding another layer of uncertainty to the outlook for Federal Reserve policy. Markets continue to assess whether the central bank will need to raise interest rates again before year-end. Technology stocks also remained in focus following a sharp rally in Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), driven by a spending outlook that significantly exceeded expectations and reignited debate over how the sector will finance the massive investment required for artificial intelligence infrastructure. SpaceX Set for Historic Market Debut SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) is scheduled to begin trading on Friday in what is expected to be the largest initial public offering ever completed. The company confirmed an IPO price of $135 per share and the sale of more than 555 million shares, implying a market valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion. The offering is expected to raise around $75 billion, eclipsing the previous IPO record set by Saudi Aramco in 2019, which raised $25.6 billion, and Alibaba’s $21.8 billion flotation in 2014. According to market estimates cited by The New York Times, the amount targeted by SpaceX exceeds the combined value of all U.S. IPO fundraising over the past two years. The listing could also pave the way for a new wave of mega-cap technology flotations. Artificial intelligence groups Anthropic and OpenAI have both reportedly filed confidential paperwork for potential public offerings that could value each company close to $1 trillion. Elon Musk, who founded SpaceX in 2002 and retains roughly a 50% stake in the business, could see his personal wealth rise to unprecedented levels if the company trades strongly after its debut. Trump Says Iran Agreement Could Be Days Away Investor sentiment was also supported by comments from President Donald Trump, who said the United States and Iran had reached the outline of an agreement and could finalise documentation within days. Speaking to reporters, Trump said the proposed deal would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bring an end to the naval blockade affecting Iranian ports. “We just made a great settlement of the war with Iran, and we’re going to be subject to finalization of documents, which should get done over the next few days. We’ll probably have a signing, maybe in Europe,” Trump said. Later, during a virtual campaign event, he added that “we ended the war with Iran today,” stating that Tehran had agreed “never to have a nuclear weapon.” Iran’s foreign ministry acknowledged that significant parts of a potential agreement were nearing completion, according to comments reported by Press TV. However, officials denied that a final accord had been signed and pointed to “contradictory positions” from Washington that were creating “turbulence and disruption” in negotiations. Oil Prices Retreat but Remain Elevated The prospect of an agreement helped push oil prices lower, although crude remains well above levels seen before the conflict began. By 03:27 ET, Brent crude was down 2.0% at $88.62 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 2.2% to $85.82. The possibility of restoring shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has eased immediate supply concerns, but analysts caution that the impact of months of disruption may continue to influence prices. Analysts at ING said: “[T]he legacy issue of this crisis has been the substantial loss of energy supplies and its inflationary shock sent around the world.” They added: “Unless oil starts shipping freely in the Strait of Hormuz very soon, our house call is that energy markets could move close to a tipping point in July. In turn, we would be wary about expecting much lower oil prices from current levels.” Adobe Shares Fall Despite Strong Results Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) reported quarterly earnings and revenue that exceeded market expectations and raised its full-year guidance, supported by strong growth in artificial intelligence-related products. The company said annualised recurring revenue from its AI offerings had tripled compared with a year earlier. Despite the positive financial performance, Adobe shares fell more than 5% in after-hours trading after the company announced the departure of chief financial officer Dan Durn. Durn will leave the business on 15 June to pursue another opportunity, with senior vice president of corporate finance Steve Day assuming the role of interim CFO. The announcement marks the second consecutive quarter in which Adobe has disclosed a senior leadership change. In March, the company revealed that long-serving chief executive Shantanu Narayen would step down. Adobe, best known for products including Photoshop and Premiere Pro, has been expanding its presence in generative artificial intelligence through Adobe Firefly, a platform that offers AI-powered tools for creating images, video, audio and vector content.

U.S. Office of Personnel Management Selects Oracle to Power Federal Workforce ModernizationJune 11, 2026 2:32 PM
PR Newswire (US) AI-powered HR platform will help OPM reduce costs and improve efficiency, security, and service delivery for more than two million federal employeesAUSTIN, Texas, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has awarded Oracle a $395.8 million Federal HRIT Modernization Core Human Capital Management (HCM) contract to deliver the federal government's first governmentwide HR platform. Powered by Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM), the new platform will replace more than 100 separate systems and serve as the single, governmentwide system of record for workforce management under OPM's Federal HR 2.0 initiative. Many federal agency HR systems are not interoperable. This can create duplicated efforts and inconsistent data that often results in higher costs and delays in hiring and retirement processes. By consolidating its systems onto a single cloud platform, OPM expects to reduce costs to taxpayers by more than 90 percent while strengthening efficiency, security, and service delivery for agencies and employees alike."The federal government's HR infrastructure has become unnecessarily fragmented, making it harder for agencies to efficiently serve employees and taxpayers. Following a rigorous, competitive evaluation process that included extensive testing and input from agencies across government, we selected Oracle Cloud HCM to help consolidate dozens of disconnected systems into a modern, secure platform," said Scott Kupor, director, US Office of Personnel Management. "This is an important step toward improving interoperability, strengthening workforce data capabilities, and delivering a more effective and accountable HR experience across the federal government."As the foundation for Federal HR 2.0, Oracle Cloud HCM will provide approximately two million U.S. Executive Branch civilian employees with an AI-powered, secure, FedRAMP-authorized HR platform. The solution will centralize HR operations on a single platform to improve the employee experience and effectively manage the federal workforce as a unified enterprise. Capabilities include position management, personnel action and records processing, workforce analytics, and employee and manager self-service, with integration to payroll, retirement, and benefits systems."Oracle is honored to partner with OPM to establish a secure, trusted foundation to unify federal HR operations," said Kim Lynch, executive vice president, Oracle Government, Defense & Intelligence. "And in doing so, we're extending our commitment to help government leaders make faster decisions while delivering to federal employees the modern experience they deserve."About Oracle Fusion Cloud ApplicationsOracle Fusion Cloud Applications provide an integrated suite of AI-powered cloud applications that enable organizations to execute faster, make smarter decisions, and lower costs.

SAP Shares Retreat After Oracle Unveils Aggressive AI Investment Plans (SAP)June 11, 2026 6:41 AM
IH Market News SAP (NYSE:SAP) shares fell more than 4% after competitor Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) revealed fiscal 2027 capital expenditure plans that significantly exceeded analyst expectations, highlighting the escalating costs associated with competing in the artificial intelligence infrastructure market. Oracle’s shares dropped more than 10% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company announced it could spend as much as $95 billion on capital projects during fiscal 2027. Oracle said it expects to recoup up to $25 billion of that amount through customer repayments. According to LSEG data, analysts had projected capital spending of approximately $67.7 billion. The company also disclosed plans to secure nearly $40 billion in financing through a combination of debt and equity issuance during 2027, including a previously announced $20 billion at-the-market share offering. AI Infrastructure Race Drives Massive Spending Oracle’s plans underscore the substantial financial commitments required to compete in the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure sector. Having secured major data-centre agreements with customers including Meta Platforms and OpenAI, Oracle is increasingly positioning itself as a credible challenger to cloud-computing leaders Amazon and Microsoft. Its spending levels are now approaching those of the industry’s largest players. During the earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Hilary Maxson told analysts that roughly $70 billion of the projected fiscal 2027 investment would come directly from Oracle, while the remainder is expected to be reimbursed by customers. She did not provide a timetable for those repayments. Maxson also warned that gross margins would “step down” during the current fiscal year as Oracle accelerates the expansion of its global data-centre footprint. Oracle Continues Heavy Investment Programme Oracle’s latest spending forecast follows an already significant investment cycle. The company spent approximately $55.7 billion during fiscal 2026, surpassing its own target of $50 billion. Earlier in the year, Oracle had also outlined plans to raise up to $50 billion through a mix of debt and equity financing to support its growth ambitions. The scale of the investment programme has intensified scrutiny from investors, who continue to evaluate the balance between growth opportunities and profitability as demand for AI infrastructure accelerates. Quarterly Results Beat Expectations Alongside its spending plans, Oracle reported fourth-quarter financial results that exceeded market forecasts. Revenue for the quarter reached $19.18 billion, slightly ahead of analyst expectations of $19.10 billion. Adjusted earnings came in at $2.03 per share, outperforming the consensus estimate of $1.96 per share. Cloud services revenue climbed to $9.9 billion during the quarter, representing growth of 46% year-on-year in constant currency terms. Revenue from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure increased 92% to $5.8 billion, reflecting continued demand for AI-related computing capacity. Meanwhile, total software revenue edged 2% lower in constant currency terms to $6.8 billion. Despite the stronger-than-expected quarterly performance, investor attention remained focused on the substantial investment and financing requirements needed to support Oracle’s long-term AI strategy, contributing to weakness across parts of the enterprise software sector, including SAP.

Oracle Beats Earnings Expectations but Shares Slide on Spending and Funding Plans (ORCL)June 11, 2026 6:36 AM
IH Market News Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) reported quarterly earnings and revenue ahead of market forecasts on Wednesday and raised its outlook for annual adjusted earnings per share. Despite the strong operating performance, the stock fell 10.1% in premarket trading on Thursday after investors focused on the company’s aggressive capital spending plans and upcoming financing requirements. The software giant revealed that it expects to secure approximately $40 billion in funding during fiscal 2027 while significantly increasing investment in its cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure. Capital Expenditure Forecast Surprises Investors Oracle said capital expenditures could reach as much as $95 billion in fiscal 2027, substantially above Wall Street expectations of roughly $67.7 billion, according to LSEG data. The company noted that up to $25 billion of that spending is expected to be recovered through customer repayments, reducing the net financial burden over time. During the earnings call, Chief Financial Officer Hilary Maxson explained that around $70 billion of the projected spending would represent Oracle’s own capital investment, while the remainder would eventually be reimbursed by customers. However, she did not provide a timeline for when those repayments would be received. Maxson also warned that gross margins would “step down” during the current fiscal year as Oracle accelerates construction of additional data centre capacity. AI Infrastructure Push Continues The Austin, Texas-based technology company has increasingly shifted its focus toward cloud infrastructure and AI-related services while continuing to generate revenue from its traditional database software and enterprise application businesses. Investors have closely examined Oracle’s strategy as concerns persist about the long-term impact of artificial intelligence on its legacy software operations. To strengthen its position in the AI market, Oracle has invested heavily in expanding its data centre footprint and cloud infrastructure capabilities. However, the scale of financing required to support these initiatives has drawn increasing scrutiny from investors. The company had previously targeted $50 billion in debt and equity financing during fiscal 2026 and ultimately raised $48 billion. Oracle Plans Additional Financing in Fiscal 2027 Oracle outlined further funding plans as it continues to expand its AI infrastructure network. “In fiscal year 2027, Oracle expects to raise approximately $40 billion through a combination of debt and equity financing including its previously announced $20 billion at-the-market equity issuance. Oracle does not expect to issue additional debt in calendar year 2026,” the company said in a statement. The announcement contributed to investor concerns over future leverage and the financial demands associated with Oracle’s rapid expansion strategy. Strong Quarterly Performance Driven by Cloud Growth For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, Oracle reported adjusted earnings of $2.11 per share on revenue of $19.18 billion. Analysts had been expecting earnings of $1.95 per share on revenue of $19.10 billion. Cloud services revenue increased 46% year-on-year in constant currency terms to $9.9 billion, while Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) revenue surged 92% to $5.8 billion. Total software revenue declined 2% in constant currency to $6.8 billion. Analysts Split on Market Reaction Several analysts highlighted the contrast between Oracle’s strong operational performance and the market’s negative response to its profitability outlook. “While OCI and total Cloud growth came in-line with expectations, the stock fell ~12% AH as management’s FY27 profitability commentary means GMs likely decline more than previously expected,” Stifel analysts said in a post-earnings note. Analysts at Wolfe Research were more positive on the results, describing the report as “an all-around banger with accelerating revenue, cloud, RPO, and IaaS growth.” “We think results also helped weaken the SaaS-pocalypse thesis, with ORCL seeing forward indicators growing faster than revenue,” they added. Guidance Raised for Fiscal 2027 Oracle also issued guidance for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, forecasting adjusted earnings of between $1.72 and $1.76 per share alongside revenue growth of 27% to 29%. Analysts are currently expecting first-quarter earnings of $1.69 per share. The company reaffirmed its target of reaching $90 billion in total revenue during fiscal 2027 and increased its adjusted earnings-per-share outlook for the full year to $8.05, reflecting continued confidence in demand for its cloud and AI offerings.

U.S.-Iran Conflict, Oracle Outlook and ECB Rate Decision Drive Market Attention: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJune 11, 2026 5:38 AM
IH Market News Investors are monitoring a mix of geopolitical tensions, corporate earnings developments and central bank policy decisions, with U.S. stock futures pointing modestly higher after a sharp sell-off on Wall Street. Renewed military exchanges between the United States and Iran remain in focus, while Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares have come under pressure following plans to raise significant funding for its artificial intelligence expansion. Meanwhile, markets are preparing for an expected interest-rate increase from the European Central Bank. U.S. Futures Signal Modest Recovery U.S. equity futures moved higher on Thursday, indicating a potential rebound after major indices posted steep losses in the previous session amid rising inflation concerns and escalating tensions in the Middle East. As of 03:13 ET (07:13 GMT), Dow Jones futures were up 215 points, or 0.4%. S&P 500 futures gained 38 points, or 0.5%, while Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 230 points, or 0.8%. The previous session saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average record its weakest performance since October, falling 1.9%. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2%, while the S&P 500 declined 1.6%, marking its lowest closing level in five weeks. Market sentiment was hit by President Donald Trump’s warning that Iran would “pay the price!!!” for delaying peace negotiations with Washington, alongside a fresh round of military strikes between the two countries and continued clashes involving Hezbollah militants in Lebanon. Adding to investor concerns, U.S. consumer inflation accelerated to its highest level in years, highlighting the impact of rising energy prices linked to the conflict. Markets are now awaiting the latest producer price data due later on Thursday. “With signs of a near-term resolution fading, investors grew more concerned about the stagflationary scenarios again, with bonds and equities selling off on both sides of the Atlantic,” analysts at Deutsche Bank said. Questions surrounding the sustainability of the artificial intelligence boom also persisted. Shares in Super Micro Computer fell sharply after the company became the latest AI-related business to seek billions of dollars in fresh capital, fuelling concerns that firms may be struggling to finance the substantial infrastructure investments required to support AI growth. Washington and Tehran Exchange New Strikes Military tensions intensified as the United States and Iran launched further attacks against one another for a second consecutive day. President Donald Trump warned that additional action could be taken unless Tehran agreed to an immediate peace deal. According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), American forces conducted strikes on multiple Iranian military targets overnight, describing the operations as “self-defense” following the downing of a U.S. helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM subsequently stated that its latest wave of military operations had concluded. Media reports indicated that Iran responded with attacks targeting several U.S. military facilities and allied positions across the Gulf region, with explosions reportedly heard in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. However, there was no immediate independent confirmation of those claims. Oil Prices Pull Back After Early Gains Oil markets retreated after initially rising in response to the latest military developments, as traders weighed reports suggesting diplomatic discussions between Washington and Tehran may still be ongoing. CNN reported, citing a diplomatic source, that talks between the two countries had continued overnight despite the escalation in hostilities. By 03:30 ET, Brent crude futures for August delivery had fallen 0.6% to $92.59 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 0.5% to $89.58 per barrel. Both benchmarks had risen more than 2% earlier in Asian trading before reversing course. Markets were also assessing claims from Tehran that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz had been suspended, a statement that was subsequently denied by the U.S. military. Oil prices ended the previous session nearly 2% higher. Oracle Falls Despite Strong Quarterly Results Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) reported quarterly earnings and revenue that exceeded market expectations and also raised its annual adjusted earnings-per-share guidance. Despite the strong operational performance, the stock declined in after-hours trading after the company revealed plans to secure approximately $40 billion in financing during fiscal 2027. “[T]his is an OK release with continued robust growth in backlog, and the cash performance wasn’t as bad as feared (thanks to lower capex). But the company is still facing a period of heavy cash outflows as it builds the infrastructure needed to fulfill its backlog, and this will require more debt and equity,” analysts at Vital Knowledge said in a note. The Texas-based software group has increasingly focused on cloud infrastructure and AI-related data centre development, while continuing to generate substantial revenue from its traditional database and enterprise software businesses. However, investors remain focused on the scale of borrowing required to fund its expanding AI infrastructure strategy. ECB Set to Raise Rates Attention in Europe is centred on the European Central Bank, which is expected to announce a 25-basis-point increase in its deposit rate following the conclusion of its latest policy meeting. If delivered, the move would raise the key rate to 2.25% from 2.0% and represent the ECB’s first interest-rate increase in almost three years. Inflation across the eurozone has climbed above 3%, exceeding the central bank’s 2% target and strengthening the argument for tighter monetary policy despite a weakening economic outlook. However, policymakers must balance inflation concerns with signs of slowing growth across the region. “On the activity side, we have already seen a weak batch of German factory orders data for April today, and the risk is that eurozone manufacturing activity data now starts to deteriorate after hoarding/inventory building earlier this year around the uncertainty of the Gulf conflict,” analysts at ING said in a note.

GAAP earnings per share increased to $5.83, up 34%, while non-GAAP earnings per share climbed to $7.631, up 27%.Oracle's strong operating income translated to record fiscal year operating cash flow of $32.0 billion, up 54%. Free cash flow was negative $23.7 billion for fiscal year 2026 as Oracle continued to execute on investments to support the growth of its Cloud Infrastructure business. Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining Performance Obligations, or RPO, ended the quarter at $638 billion, up 363% USD year-over-year and up $85 billion sequentially from the end of Q3. Most of the RPO increase in both Q3 and Q4 were large scale AI contracts where the customer prepaid Oracle for the purchase of the GPUs, or the customer bought and supplied the GPUs to Oracle. The prepaid and customer supplied hardware portions of our large AI contracts now total $75 billion. This substantially reduces the amount of capital Oracle must raise to build out our AI datacenters. Capital Investment Program and Capital Funding
Oracle's capital investment program supports the pursuit of unprecedented opportunities in AI Cloud Infrastructure as described at our most recent Financial Analyst Meeting. In fiscal year 2026, Oracle raised $43 billion in debt financing and $5 billion in equity financing. In fiscal year 2027, Oracle expects to raise approximately $40 billion through a combination of debt and equity financing including its previously announced $20 billion at-the-market equity issuance. Oracle does not expect to issue additional debt in calendar year 2026.Guidance for Q1 FY 2027
Oracle is providing the following forward-looking guidance for Q1 FY 2027:Total Revenues are expected to grow from 27% to 29% in both constant currency and USD.Total Cloud revenue is expected to grow between 57% and 63% in constant currency and is expected to grow between 58% and 64% in USD.Non-GAAP earnings per share is expected to grow between 16% and 19% and be between $1.71 and $1.75 in constant currency and grow between 17% and 20% and be between $1.72 and $1.76 in USD.Guidance for Full FY 2027
For fiscal year 2027, we confirm our prior revenue guidance of $90 billion total revenue and raise our non-GAAP EPS guidance to $8.05, which is growth of 18%1 after adjusting for the one-time events of selling our Ampere chip business and Bloom Energy warrants in fiscal year 2026. AI Market and Technology Evolution
The large increases in Oracle's RPO and revenue are driven by the growing demand for cloud infrastructure for AI training and inferencing. Oracle is building datacenters that are intended to use clean energy from natural gas fuel cells to generate electricity with minimal emissions. Other innovations in the areas of high-performance networking, advanced security and autonomous software have made Oracle the world's fastest growing provider of cloud datacenters.Our database and applications businesses are both benefiting from Oracle's early adoption of AI. The Oracle Multicloud AI Database grew 404% in Q4—making it our fastest growing business ever. The Oracle Health application suite will soon include a completely new AI version of the Cerner hospital and clinic patient care management system. We expect this new AI patient care management system to push the growth rate of the overall Oracle Health business to double-digits in fiscal year 2027. And this is just the beginning of the expansion of the Oracle Health business.We believe AI is about to completely revolutionize healthcare. Improvements in patient care are expected to yield much better patient outcomes, while dramatically lowering the cost of healthcare throughout the world. Oracle Health AI systems will allow doctors to spend less time with computers and more time with patients. AI molecular design models are expected to enable researchers to accelerate the development of life-saving drugs. Oracle's new AI clinical trial system is designed to enable regulators to rapidly review and approve clinical trial test results enabling patients to get access to new drugs sooner. AI will make healthcare better, more accessible, and less expensive. Common Stock Quarterly Dividend
The board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share of outstanding common stock. This dividend will be paid to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 10, 2026, with a payment date of July 24, 2026.Footnotes
1 – Q4 and FY 2026 results include one-time net investment gains from certain transactions. Excluding these investment gains, Q4 non-GAAP EPS would be $2.03, up 20% in USD and up 18% in constant currency and FY 2026 non-GAAP EPS would be $6.83, up 13% in USD and up 11% in constant currency. Excluding these same investment gains, FY 2027 non-GAAP EPS growth would be 18%.Other InformationA sample list of customers which purchased Oracle Cloud services during the quarter will be available at www.oracle.com/customers/earnings/.A list of recent technical innovations and announcements is available at www.oracle.com/news/.To learn what industry analysts have been saying about Oracle's products and services see www.oracle.com/corporate/analyst-reports/.Earnings Conference Call and Webcast

(5)Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate of 19.8% and 17.5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 20.4% and 19.7% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in each of the fourth quarters of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other expense, including the tax effects on amortization of intangible assets, and, final remeasurement impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act primarily related to the remeasurement of a deferred tax liability previously recorded during 2021, as part of our legal entity structure, partially offset by the net deferred tax effects related to an income tax benefit that was previously recorded due to the partial realignment of our legal entity structure.

(5)Income tax effects were calculated reflecting an effective GAAP tax rate of 12.6% and 12.1% in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, and an effective non-GAAP tax rate of 19.9% and 19.7% in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The difference in our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates in each of fiscal 2026 and 2025 was primarily due to the net tax effects related to stock-based compensation expense; and restructuring and other expense, including the tax effects on amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by the net deferred tax effects related to an income tax benefit that was previously recorded due to the partial realignment of our legal entity structure; and, for fiscal 2026, the impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (refer to Appendix A for additional information).

 APPENDIX AORACLE CORPORATION
Q4 FISCAL 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS
EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURESTo supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures indicated in the tables, which exclude certain significant expenses including stock-based compensation, expenses related to acquisitions, restructuring and certain other operating expenses, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses our supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. These non-GAAP measures are among the primary factors management uses in planning for and forecasting future periods. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects related to each of the below items except for the impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act:Stock-based compensation expenses: We have excluded the effect of stock-based compensation expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses, income tax effects and net income measures. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, and we believe such compensation contributed to the revenues earned during the periods presented and also believe it will contribute to the generation of future period revenues, we continue to evaluate our business performance excluding stock-based compensation expenses. Stock-based compensation expenses will recur in future periods.
 Amortization of intangible assets: We have excluded the effect of amortization of intangible assets from our non-GAAP operating expenses, income tax effects and net income measures. Amortization of intangible assets is inconsistent in amount and frequency and is significantly affected by the timing and size of our acquisitions. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to our revenues earned during the periods presented and will contribute to our future period revenues as well. Amortization of intangible assets will recur in future periods.
 Restructuring and other expenses: We have excluded the effect of restructuring and other expenses from our non-GAAP operating expenses, income tax effects and net income measures. We incurred expenses in connection with our restructuring activities and also incurred certain other operating expenses or income, which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. Restructuring and other expenses consist of employee severance costs and other exit costs related to our restructuring activities, certain asset impairment charges and certain other operating items, net. We believe it is useful for investors to understand the effects of these items on our total operating expenses.
 Impact of the U.S. One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA): OBBBA was signed into law on July 4, 2025. We recorded a net tax expense of $933 million for the full year of fiscal 2026, primarily related to the remeasurement of a deferred tax liability previously recorded during fiscal 2021, as part of the partial realignment of our legal entity structure. We have excluded the impact of this charge from our non-GAAP income taxes and net income measures in fiscal 2026. We believe making these adjustments provides insight to our operating performance and comparability to past operating results.  View original content to download multimedia:https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/oracle-announces-record-q4-and-fy-2026-results-driven-by-cloud-infrastructure--cloud-applications-302797201.htmlSOURCE Oracle Original: Oracle Announces Record Q4 and FY 2026 Results Driven by Cloud Infrastructure & Cloud Applications

U.S.-Iran Tensions, Inflation Data and Oracle Earnings Dominate Market Focus: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesJune 10, 2026 5:36 AM
IH Market News U.S. equity futures traded lower on Wednesday as investors assessed renewed military action between the United States and Iran while awaiting a closely watched inflation report and quarterly results from software giant Oracle (NYSE:ORCL). Markets were also digesting the launch of Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence model, a revised version of its previously restricted “Mythos-class” technology that now includes additional safety controls for broader public use. Futures Slip Ahead of Key Economic Data By early morning trading, futures linked to the major U.S. indices were pointing lower. Dow futures declined 81 points, or 0.2%, while S&P 500 futures lost 0.3% and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.5%. Wall Street finished mixed in the previous session, with technology stocks once again coming under pressure. Major semiconductor companies including Nvidia, Micron, Intel and Qualcomm all ended the day lower, reflecting ongoing investor concerns about the sustainability of the artificial intelligence-driven rally. Renewed Military Action Raises Geopolitical Concerns Investor sentiment continued to be influenced by developments in the Middle East. The United States launched new missile strikes against Iranian targets on Tuesday following an attack on an American helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. President Donald Trump blamed Iran for the incident and stated that the U.S. “must, of necessity, respond.” Iran has denied responsibility for the attack and warned that no military action against it would go unanswered. According to U.S. Central Command, the strikes targeted Iranian air defence systems and satellite radar facilities, although the full extent of the damage remains unclear. Meanwhile, Israel continued military operations in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah positions backed by Iran. Inflation Report Could Shape Federal Reserve Expectations The latest military developments come despite ongoing efforts to preserve a fragile ceasefire and revive negotiations aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Some market strategists believe the recent escalation may still fit within a broader pattern of limited confrontation followed by diplomatic engagement, reducing the likelihood of a wider regional conflict. Brent crude prices remained relatively stable but continue to trade well above levels seen before the conflict began. The Strait of Hormuz remains a key concern for energy markets, given that roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies normally pass through the waterway. Against this backdrop, investors are closely watching the release of U.S. consumer price index data. Concerns persist that higher energy costs could reignite inflationary pressures and potentially influence monetary policy decisions by major central banks. A stronger-than-expected inflation reading could increase expectations that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates again before year-end, particularly following last week’s stronger-than-anticipated U.S. employment figures. Anthropic Releases Updated AI Model Anthropic announced the public release of Claude Fable 5, describing it as a next-generation “Mythos-class” artificial intelligence model designed for broader deployment. The company originally introduced Mythos in April but withheld public access due to concerns that the technology could be exploited by sophisticated cybercriminals. The updated version incorporates additional safeguards intended to reduce those risks. Among the new protections are mechanisms that redirect sensitive requests, including queries relating to biological weapons or software vulnerabilities, to Anthropic’s older Claude Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic stated that Fable 5 delivers state-of-the-art performance across a range of benchmarks, including software development, scientific research, vision analysis and knowledge-based tasks. Oracle Earnings to Test AI Optimism Attention later in the day will turn to Oracle, which is scheduled to report quarterly earnings after the closing bell. The results are expected to provide another important test of investor confidence in the artificial intelligence sector. Recent earnings from semiconductor company Broadcom raised questions about whether spending on AI infrastructure can continue at its current pace, while Google’s recent capital raise has prompted further debate over the costs associated with expanding data centre capacity. Analysts at Evercore ISI remain constructive on Oracle’s prospects. “[w]hile we believe a higher capex guide could limit upside coming away from the [fiscal fourth-quarter] print, we continue to believe that the risk/reward skews positively,” analysts at Evercore ISI said in a note. “In our view, delivering ‘clean’ [fiscal fourth-quarter] results, a reiteration of revenue acceleration into FY27/FY28, and providing visibility into the previously disclosed equity raise could ultimately serve as a clearing event for the shares heading into the summer.” More about Oracle Oracle is one of the world’s largest enterprise software providers, offering cloud infrastructure, database management systems and business applications to organisations globally. The company has become an increasingly important player in artificial intelligence infrastructure through investments in cloud computing, data centres and partnerships supporting the deployment of advanced AI models.

Five key market events investors will be watching this weekJune 8, 2026 6:39 AM
IH Market News Markets face a packed agenda in the days ahead, with investors preparing for a potentially record-breaking SpaceX IPO, crucial U.S. inflation figures, a European Central Bank policy decision, and earnings reports from technology giants Oracle and Adobe that could offer fresh insight into the strength of the artificial intelligence theme. 1. SpaceX prepares for landmark market debut SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) is expected to launch its long-awaited initial public offering this week, with Elon Musk’s space and satellite company aiming to raise a record $75 billion in a transaction that would value the business at approximately $1.75 trillion. According to Reuters, pricing is expected on June 11, with trading on the Nasdaq likely to begin the following day. The flotation could cement Musk’s status as the world’s first trillionaire and has been described by some analysts as a significant investment opportunity tied to both Musk and the artificial intelligence sector. SpaceX recently acquired xAI, the AI company behind the Grok chatbot. Determining an appropriate valuation remains challenging. Reuters reported that SpaceX generated revenue of $18.67 billion in 2025, up 33% from the previous year, but recorded a net loss of $4.94 billion. Commenting on the IPO, Seraphim Space said it represents a “significant milestone for the global space sector, marking its transition from a future-facing theme into an established, investable asset class within public markets.” 2. Inflation data could shape expectations for Fed policy Investors will also be closely monitoring the latest U.S. consumer price index figures, scheduled for release on Wednesday. Economists expect annual inflation to accelerate to 4.2% in May from 3.8% in April. On a monthly basis, CPI is forecast to ease to 0.3% from 0.6%. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, is projected to rise 2.9% year-on-year and 0.5% month-on-month. The figures arrive at a time when renewed military tensions between Iran and Israel have heightened concerns about energy prices and inflation risks, potentially influencing the Federal Reserve’s future policy decisions. 3. ECB set to announce interest rate decision The European Central Bank is also expected to be in focus this week as policymakers respond to the inflationary impact of higher energy prices. Oil prices remain significantly above levels seen before the conflict in the Middle East, as diplomatic efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and secure a lasting peace agreement have so far delivered little progress. Many economists believe the ECB could become the first major central bank to raise interest rates since the outbreak of the Iran conflict in late February. However, policymakers must also consider signs of weakening economic activity across the euro area. “On the activity side, we have already seen a weak batch of German factory orders data for April today, and the risk is that eurozone manufacturing activity data now starts to deteriorate after hoarding/inventory building earlier this year around the uncertainty of the Gulf conflict,” analysts at ING said in a note. 4. Oracle earnings to provide AI demand update Corporate earnings will also attract attention, particularly when Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) releases quarterly results after markets close on Wednesday. The report is expected to offer investors another gauge of enterprise spending on artificial intelligence, following concerns triggered by weaker-than-expected results from Broadcom last week. Technology stocks came under pressure after Broadcom’s update coincided with stronger U.S. employment data that increased speculation about higher interest rates. Analysts at Evercore ISI remain constructive on Oracle despite concerns around future capital expenditure. “[W]hile we believe a higher capex guide could limit upside coming away from the F4Q print, we continue to believe that the risk/reward skews positively,” the firm said. “In our view, delivering ‘clean’ F4Q results, a reiteration of revenue acceleration into FY27/FY28, and providing visibility into the previously disclosed equity raise could ultimately serve as a clearing event for the shares heading into the summer.” Oracle shares have gained more than 9% since the start of the year. 5. Adobe faces pressure to prove its AI strategy Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) will report quarterly earnings after Thursday’s market close as investors continue to evaluate the impact of artificial intelligence on the software industry. The Photoshop developer has struggled to convince investors that it can fully capitalise on the AI revolution, with its shares down more than 33% in 2026. Adobe remains one of the most prominent software providers to creative professionals through its portfolio of design, video, audio and document-management products. However, concerns persist over how effectively the company can adapt to rapidly changing technology trends. Investor uncertainty increased further in March when Adobe announced that long-serving Chief Executive Shantanu Narayen would step down. Analysts at Jefferies said leadership developments could attract as much attention as the earnings themselves. “A potential CEO announcement could be the highlight as we expect few surprises in FQ2 results, with a slight beat [versus] FQ2 guide and a reiteration of FY26 guide,” the brokerage said. With major economic data, central bank decisions and key technology earnings all due in the coming days, investors are likely to face a pivotal week for market sentiment.

Oracle Shares Retreat as Investors Assess AI Spending Implications After Alphabet Fundraising Plan (ORCL)June 2, 2026 7:04 AM
IH Market News Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares moved lower in premarket trading on Tuesday as investors evaluated the broader implications of escalating artificial intelligence infrastructure costs following Alphabet’s announcement of a major capital-raising initiative. The stock fell 4.2% before the opening bell, giving back part of the gains recorded during the previous session. Alphabet’s Funding Plan Raises Questions About AI Investment Costs Investor sentiment toward AI-related stocks was affected after Alphabet revealed plans to raise $80 billion through a stock offering designed to finance further expansion of its artificial intelligence infrastructure. The fundraising package includes a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway, underscoring the scale of capital required to support growing demand for AI services. Alphabet said the proceeds will be used to expand computing capacity and strengthen its AI infrastructure as customer demand continues to rise. Capital Spending Continues to Accelerate Across the Industry The announcement highlighted the increasing financial commitments being made by major technology companies competing in the AI market. Earlier this year, Alphabet increased its projected capital expenditure outlook for the full year, indicating that spending could reach as much as $190 billion. The scale of those planned investments prompted some investors to reassess the costs associated with maintaining leadership positions in artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Oracle Gives Back Recent Gains Tuesday’s decline followed a strong rally in Oracle shares during the previous trading session. On Monday, the stock climbed 9.9%, reaching its highest level since November as investors continued to express optimism about Oracle’s growing role in AI infrastructure and cloud services. The pullback suggests some investors are taking a more cautious view as the industry’s largest players commit increasingly large sums to expanding AI capacity. Focus Remains on Long-Term AI Opportunity Despite the premarket weakness, Oracle remains one of the companies viewed as a potential beneficiary of continued growth in artificial intelligence spending. Demand for cloud infrastructure, data processing capacity and AI-related services has accelerated significantly across the technology sector, creating opportunities for providers with large-scale enterprise platforms. However, Alphabet’s fundraising announcement served as a reminder that competing in the AI race requires substantial ongoing investment, a factor that is likely to remain closely watched by investors across the technology industry.

Oracle Launches New Campaign Highlighting Commitments to Doña Ana CountyMay 26, 2026 10:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Bilingual broadcast and digital advertising spotlight community investments, cleaner energy plan, and lower water usage at Project Jupiter data center campusAUSTIN, Texas, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Residents across New Mexico will soon experience a new advertising campaign funded by Oracle to promote the economic, community and environmental benefits of the Project Jupiter data center campus in Doña Ana County. The advertising will run across television, radio, online, and social platforms in English and Spanish over several months, highlighting Project Jupiter's cleaner fuel cell power solution, investments to improve Doña Ana County's water system, its own conservative water usage on campus, and long-term economic benefits."This project is expected to deliver transformational benefits to the residents of Doña Ana County, and we want New Mexicans to get the facts about the project directly from us," said Julia Robin, head of infrastructure planning and sourcing, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "The project is planned to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to improve schools, drinking water, and local infrastructure across Doña Ana County, minimize water usage on campus, deliver a clean and reliable power solution through Bloom Energy fuel cells, and create thousands of new career opportunities for residents. The more residents hear the facts about the project, the more we hope they will understand its transformative benefits for New Mexico."Project Jupiter is expected to create more than 4,000 construction jobs and 1,500 ongoing project-supported jobs once construction is complete, generating $384 million in economic impact annually during construction and $113 million annually once the data center is operational.Project Jupiter has committed $50 million to improve local water systems; $360 million in direct support for schools, infrastructure, and local services; and $6.9 million to fund workforce development, the Boys and Girls Club of Las Cruces, and habitat restoration.Oracle plans to fund all energy costs for the project to ensure no impact on residential electricity rates. The project's updated power plan also significantly reduces water usage. The data center and fuel cell cooling systems are not expected to use the Camino Real Regional Utility Authority's public drinking-water supply, and both systems are designed to only require a one-time startup fill of non-potable water sourced from an existing water rights holder. Water usage to maintain these systems will be equivalent on average to the annual use of two U.S. households.All advertising directs viewers to ProjectJupiterTogether.com, where residents can learn more about Project Jupiter and Oracle's long-term investments in New Mexico.Additional ResourcesLearn about Project Jupiter's energy strategyRead more about Project Jupiter's approach to waterLearn about fuel cell technologyAbout Oracle

$ORCL $HYSR 🌞⚡ $HYSR Is Tapping Into the Same AI-Energy Narrative Through Its Hydrogen Tech
$HYSR (SunHydrogen) isn’t a fuel-cell company like $PLUG, $BE, or $BLDP — but it is building something that plugs directly into the same long-term trend: cheap, scalable green hydrogen production.

And as AI data centers explode in size and energy demand, the market is starting to connect the dots:

👉 AI needs clean power
👉 Clean power needs hydrogen
👉 Hydrogen needs low-cost production
👉 That’s where $HYSR fits in

SunHydrogen’s tech is early-stage, but the narrative tailwind is real.

Fed Decision Looms, Tech Earnings Could Drive Volatile Session: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 29, 2026 9:16 AM
IH Market News
U.S. stock index futures are pointing to a largely flat open on Wednesday, suggesting markets may struggle to find direction following the previous session’s pullback.Investors appear cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision due later in the day.According to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, markets are pricing in a 100% probability that the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged for a third consecutive meeting.With the outcome widely expected, attention is likely to shift to the central bank’s statement for signals on the future path of rates. Still, given the Fed’s tendency to avoid detailed forward guidance, focus may instead turn to earnings from major technology companies.Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) are all set to report results after the market close.As members of the so-called “Magnificent Seven,” their earnings could significantly influence sentiment, particularly as concerns around AI-related spending re-emerge.Meanwhile, markets have largely brushed aside another spike in oil prices, even as U.S. crude futures climbed above $100 per barrel following fresh threats toward Iran from President Donald Trump.“Iran can’t get their act together. They don’t know how to sign a nonnuclear deal. They better get smart soon!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, alongside an image of himself holding a rifle and the phrase “No more Mr. Nice Guy!”



Previous Session Recap



After a mixed and volatile Monday, U.S. equities moved mostly lower on Tuesday, with all major indices finishing in negative territory. The tech-heavy Nasdaq saw the sharpest decline.The Nasdaq Composite dropped 223.30 points, or 0.9%, to 24,663.80. The S&P 500 fell 35.11 points, or 0.5%, to 7,138.90, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 25.86 points, or 0.1%, to 49,141.93.The Nasdaq retreated from its recent record close as AI-linked stocks came under pressure following a report by The Wall Street Journal indicating that OpenAI had fallen short of internal targets for user growth and revenue.According to sources cited by the WSJ, the shortfall has raised concerns within the company about whether it can sustain its heavy investments in data center infrastructure.Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), a key partner in OpenAI’s infrastructure buildout, dropped 4.1%.Semiconductor stocks also came under pressure, with Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD), and NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) all posting notable losses.



Oil Surge and Geopolitical Tensions



Rising oil prices added to market concerns, with U.S. crude futures briefly topping $100 per barrel before easing.Prices have climbed sharply in recent sessions due to ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran.The latest rally follows signs that Trump is unlikely to accept Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the conflict while postponing nuclear negotiations.In another Truth Social post, Trump claimed Iran is in a “state of collapse” and is eager to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as it navigates internal leadership challenges.CNN reported that Iran is preparing a “revised proposal,” with mediators in Pakistan awaiting the updated plan.



Sector Moves



Gold-related stocks fell sharply as bullion prices dropped, with the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index plunging 4.6%.Semiconductor shares also saw heavy selling, dragging the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down 3.6%.Additional weakness was seen in computer hardware, networking, and airline stocks, while energy names, particularly oil and gas companies, moved higher.Alphabet stock priceAmazon stock priceMeta stock priceMicrosoft stock price

IH Market News
U.S. stock futures point to a weaker start on Tuesday, suggesting equities could come under pressure following a mixed and volatile session the day before.Technology shares are expected to lead declines, highlighted by a 1.3% drop in Nasdaq 100 futures.Stocks linked to artificial intelligence infrastructure may face selling pressure after The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI recently failed to meet its internal targets for both user growth and revenue.According to sources cited in the report, the shortfall has sparked concern among some executives about whether the company can sustain its heavy investment in data centers.Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), which has a long-term partnership with OpenAI focused on AI infrastructure, is falling 6.5% in premarket trading.Semiconductor names are also under pressure, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) all posting notable premarket declines.Geopolitical tensions may further weigh on sentiment, as indications suggest the Trump administration is unlikely to accept Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while postponing discussions on its nuclear program.Following strong gains last Friday, markets delivered a subdued performance on Monday. Major indices fluctuated around the flatline throughout the session before finishing with little overall movement.The Nasdaq rose 50.50 points, or 0.2%, to 24,887.10, and the S&P 500 edged up 8.83 points, or 0.1%, to 7,173.91—both reaching fresh record closing highs. Meanwhile, the Dow slipped 62.92 points, or 0.1%, to 49,167.79.The lack of clear direction reflected investor caution amid uncertainty surrounding developments in the Middle East, particularly after U.S.-Iran talks stalled over the weekend.As negotiations enter a more uncertain phase, reports indicate Iran has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the conflict, while delaying talks on its nuclear program.Corporate earnings are likely to take center stage in the coming days, with five of the “Magnificent Seven” companies scheduled to release results this week.Investors are also closely watching the Federal Reserve’s policy decision due on Wednesday.While the Fed is widely expected to keep rates unchanged, its accompanying statement may offer insights into the future path of monetary policy.Sector performance on Monday was generally muted, mirroring the broader market’s lack of momentum.Airline stocks were among the biggest decliners, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index falling 2.1%.Gold-related shares also showed weakness, as the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index dropped 1.8%.Telecom, networking and pharmaceutical stocks moved lower as well, while banking shares posted gains.Oracle stock priceNvidia stock priceBroadcom stock priceAdvanced Micro Devices stock priceQualcomm stock price

Oracle, BorderPlex, and Bloom Energy to Power Project Jupiter with Cleaner, Water-Efficient Fuel Cell TechnologyApril 27, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US)

AI data center campus in Doña Ana County will preserve electricity rates for residents, dramatically reduce water use, and protect local air qualityAUSTIN, Texas, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle and BorderPlex Digital Assets today announced Project Jupiter will utilize Bloom Energy fuel cells to fully power the AI data center campus in Doña Ana County, New Mexico. As part of Oracle and Bloom's previously announced expanded partnership, the data center will be supported by up to 2.45 GW of installed Bloom fuel cell capacity. This updated power design will replace Project Jupiter's previously planned gas turbines and diesel generators and consolidate the facility into one single microgrid campus.







Fuel cells generate electricity without combustion, meaning the Bloom microgrid is highly efficient with low emissions and water use. Compared to its previously planned gas turbines, Project Jupiter with the Bloom microgrid will reduce NO? emissions by approximately 92% and will use a negligible amount of water."We are excited to move forward with this updated energy solution, which reflects our commitment to both the latest innovation and community priorities as we advance the next generation of AI infrastructure," said Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Bloom's fuel cell technology enables us to deliver highly reliable on-site power with a lower environmental footprint—supporting the project's performance needs while contributing to stronger environmental outcomes."For BorderPlex, the announcement marks an important milestone in a vision that began with a simple conviction: that industrial land in the southern New Mexico desert could become a national platform for advanced computing, cleaner energy, and long-term economic growth. BorderPlex will continue supporting Project Jupiter's success in New Mexico while advancing additional growth infrastructure opportunities and other clean-energy initiatives in the state and beyond, including solar, storage and geothermal opportunities. BorderPlex and Oracle will continue working together on future initiatives that expand access to the infrastructure needed to support these priorities."Project Jupiter started with a belief that Doña Ana County could become a Tier 1 industrial engine for New Mexico," said Lanham Napier, chairman, BorderPlex Digital Assets. "We said we could help bring cleaner energy, stronger infrastructure, more jobs and new investment to southern New Mexico, and that vision is becoming reality. With this announcement, Project Jupiter is becoming a platform for better jobs, stronger infrastructure, and generational opportunity in a region with the talent, work ethic, and ambition to help lead New Mexico's next chapter of growth.""Bloom has rapidly become the platform of choice for powering AI data centers responsibly," said Aman Joshi, chief commercial officer, Bloom Energy. "Bloom's fuel cell technology will power what is expected to be one of the largest data center microgrids operating in the United States at the time of completion. Our energy solution not only dramatically reduces water use, it is also cleaner, quieter, and helps protect electricity rates for local residents.

Oracle Health Demonstrates Interoperability Leadership, Achieves CMS Aligned Network StatusApril 20, 2026 9:13 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Delivers solution to eliminate check-in paperwork by leveraging CLEAR1 in support of CMS' "Kill the Clipboard" initiativeAUSTIN, Texas, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advancing its mission to provide patients with access to their healthcare data when and where they need it, Oracle Health is now a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Aligned Network. Oracle Health has also developed and delivered an easy-to-implement solution that allows patients to digitally verify their identity and provide access to their health records at check-in. This eliminates redundant information gathering and reflects Oracle Health's commitment to reducing the administrative burden across the healthcare ecosystem and increasing interoperability.







"Oracle Health is committed to making sure patients have access to and remain in control of their health data. Our participation in the CMS Aligned Networks will help health systems and patients connect data across settings, reduce fragmentation, and improve how clinicians and patients access the information they need," said Seema Verma, executive vice president and general manager, Oracle Health and Life Sciences. "Oracle will continue working with government and industry leaders to deliver a secure, interoperable, and AI-enabled healthcare system that improves experiences for patients and clinicians while driving down the cost of care delivery."Streamlining the patient intake processCMS' "Kill the Clipboard" initiative encourages providers to replace paperwork intake processes with a seamless digital check in. Oracle will be integrating CLEAR1, CLEAR's secure identity platform, to enable patients with a simple way to check in and give providers access to the health data they have opted to share by simply showing a QR code. The data will then flow directly into EHR workflows. CLEAR1 is Full Service certified by the Kantara Initiative for NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) and Authenticator Assurance Level 2 (AAL2), high-assurance standards that are foundational to trusted healthcare data exchange."Healthcare has long relied on fragmented, manual intake processes that create friction for patients and administrative burden for providers," said David Bardan, SVP, Head of Healthcare, CLEAR. "By integrating CLEAR1 with Oracle Health, we're working to help eliminate the clipboard entirely—enabling a simple, secure digital check-in that verifies the person and seamlessly connects their information into clinical workflows. This will be a meaningful step toward a more interoperable, patient-centered healthcare experience where trust, privacy, and ease of use are built into every interaction."New Jersey-based health system AtlantiCare is already using the solution to drive a better, more connected care experience for patients and providers."As one of the first healthcare systems in the nation to pledge support for the CMS Interoperability Framework, AtlantiCare is excited to partner with Oracle Health to deliver on that vision," said Jordan Ruch, CIO of AtlantiCare. "We've completed full integration of this technology into our ambulatory check-in workflows, positioning us to deliver a faster, paper-free experience for patients, providers, and staff. This eliminates waiting room forms and repetitive medical history collection, with verified patient information flowing securely and seamlessly into our system as we prepare for broader rollout."Simplifying patient and provider access to health informationIn addition to unveiling its offering to eliminate paperwork at check in, Oracle Health has taken another step toward helping accelerate secure, patient-centered healthcare data sharing by becoming a CMS Aligned Network. This most recent achievement builds on years of work enabling standards-based data exchange across care settings.By becoming a CMS Aligned Network, Oracle Health has demonstrated its technology supports CMS-aligned approaches to simplify and accelerate healthcare data sharing for patients and providers. Oracle Health's open and interoperable platform communicates with other CMS Aligned Networks as well as Qualified Health Information Networks® (QHINs) to create a single front door for patients to access and share their health information with providers.Oracle Health is committed to enabling patient access to health data that is as simple as accessing bank records and is available conveniently when and where they need it. Last year, Oracle Health Information Network Inc., a subsidiary of Oracle, became a designated QHIN as a part of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement™ (TEFCA™).About Oracle

New AI-enabled capabilities in Oracle Primavera Unifier help owners and delivery teams speed cross-system integrations while improving audit transparency and portfolio-level insight across capital programsAUSTIN, Texas, April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Edge Customer Summit -- New AI-enabled capabilities in Oracle Primavera Unifier are helping project and asset management teams prioritize work and reviews, improve data integrity, and enhance safety to execute more compliant, effective project delivery. For example, with AI-driven workflows and business process summarization built into daily task execution, team members can prioritize the most critical activities to keep projects on track. 







In tandem, expanded Oracle Integration capabilities enable teams to better unify data and systems across the enterprise and securely give AI Agents the data automation they need to act with a clear audit trail."Capital programs depend on disciplined processes, trusted data across project and enterprise systems, predictive insights, and defensible audit trails," said Mark Webster, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Infrastructure Industries. "Primavera Unifier brings all these elements together, giving organizations the foundation they need to apply AI at scale, improve compliance, and drive smarter, faster decisions across their portfolios."With the new Primavera Unifier enhancements, teams can:Enhance work prioritization and review cycles: AI-driven business process and workflow summaries deliver insights across reported issues and change orders. Workflows can be accompanied by a structured, step-by-step progress chronology, including participants, timestamps, durations, decisions, comments, attachments, change history, and other deliverables to save time and increase focus on the review itself, rather than pouring through data.Strengthen no-code and low-code process design and automation: Combining Unifier's built-in no-code configuration tool (uDesigner) with Oracle Integration can help enhance predictability, efficiency, and transparency through real-time integrations and automated data movement across Unifier workflows and external enterprise systems. This helps promote standardized, auditable process execution and regulatory adherence while delivering timely information to stakeholders.Accelerate secure integrations and real-time process automation: Oracle Integration's wizard-driven adapters, event-driven triggers, and in-step data pulls connect Unifier with ERP, EAM, scheduling, and collaboration systems, helping enhance data timeliness during approvals, reduce manual handoffs, and promote consistent, auditable controls for high-compliance federal projects and other regulated environments.Support data intelligence and reporting consistency: Dashboards, operational reports, and advanced visualizations directly within the process and governed custom data screens help stakeholders track performance, identify trends, and risks earlier. This can strengthen leadership alignment and oversight across multi-project portfolios, including federal programs.Increase safety: Firms can capture routine work progress photos and field observation data, and align them to predictive industry model outputs within Oracle Construction and Engineering Advisor for Safety to improve risk visibility, provide proactive mitigation actions, and support audit-ready reporting.For more information, visit oracle.com/construction or contact your Oracle representative.About Oracle Construction and Engineering

PR Newswire (US)

Enhanced document processes, and test plans for structured ITP workflows, help teams reduce risk and maintain a complete audit trail to accelerate project successAUSTIN, Texas, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle Edge Customer Summit -- Oracle today announced new Oracle Aconex capabilities that greatly simplify project information review processes and help teams manage Inspection and Test Plans (ITP) to minimize errors, and improve quality management across capital projects. With these enhancements, builders can strengthen governance and compliance by helping ensure all reviews, approvals, inspections, and supporting documentation remain connected within a single, contractual system of record.







"In construction and engineering projects, owners, contractors, and other stakeholders expect a clear record of what happened including when decisions were made, and what information supported the work performed," said Mark Webster, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Infrastructure Industries. "The new Oracle Aconex enhancements help organizations collaborate with confidence, knowing the project system is tracking all material changes for improved traceability and control across the full lifecycle of a project."Connected, traceable document workflows
Historically, organizations managing cross-team or organizational reviews have relied on offline spreadsheets for managing comments, creating additional administrative work, and increasing the risk of confusion and errors. Oracle Aconex's new Document Process capabilities streamline and accelerate the collaborative review of project information, such as documents, drawings, and models, through fully integrated comment management. With this feature all comments and resolution steps remain connected to the project's contractual system of record and other relevant documents and information stored in Aconex's centralized document register. In tandem, while built-in audit trail functionality delivers a full, unalterable record of review activity.In addition, an automated Review Matrix initiates the appropriate approval flow based on document metadata, distributes deliverables in the pre-agreed sequence, and helps keep reviews current, trackable, and consistent across organizations. Helping reduce risk in the field, Oracle also recently launched a new Observation capability in Aconex enabling teams to standardize observation data collection and safety workflows for predictive model outputs in Advisor for Safety.Managing ITPs with full visibility and accountability
To support the many projects that require ITPs as part of quality management, Aconex's new Test Plans feature delivers a structured, traceable ITP workflow connected to relevant project documents and other critical information managed in Aconex. This enables project teams to confidently build and execute ITPs that are underpinned by verifiable, version-controlled documentation from the project system of record.ITP managers can easily develop test plans and assign roles and responsibilities to provide clarity and accountability across teams, and then move ITPs forward with visibility into status, flexible workflows, and "take action" notifications. While performing onsite inspections, teams can capture and attach supporting evidence, develop audit-ready records of all ITP communications, including decisions and actions, and create final, exportable packages of documented work.For more information, visit oracle.com/construction or contact your Oracle representative.About Oracle Construction and Engineering

This Gold-tier availability achieves disaster failover times in seconds for single-computer applications and in low single-digit minutes for high-throughput multi-node clusters.Customers with Gold-tier availability are upgraded to Platinum-tier availability with disaster failover times typically under 30 seconds, even for cross-region failovers of ultra-high throughput multi-node clusters. Platinum-tier availability requires no application changes and is available for any database workload in all leading clouds as well as on-premises. It is provided at no additional charge by just upgrading the Oracle Database and Exadata software.  Oracle is also introducing Diamond-tier availability for applications that are designed for extreme availability and run on the Exadata Platform. Diamond-tier availability uses logical replication of databases across data centers or regions to very rapidly detect failures and recover from them, even for high-throughput mission-critical workloads. Diamond-tier availability is implemented using active-active distributed clusters using Oracle GoldenGate or Oracle Globally Distributed AI Database. With Diamond-tier availability, even the most demanding applications such as real-time credit-card processing recover from disasters so quickly that humans don't perceive any downtime.Easily achieve mission-critical availability for any workload with Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA) Platinum-tier
Oracle Platinum-tier availability is now available for customers running Oracle Active Data Guard and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) on Oracle AI Database 26ai and Exadata, without the need for any application changes. All applications, from simple single-computer workloads to ultra-high throughput ones running on large Oracle RAC clusters of multiple computers, can transparently take advantage of MAA Platinum-tier capabilities. Upgrading to Oracle AI Database 26ai on Exadata enables customers to immediately benefit from much faster failovers and less downtime with no additional effort. Enhanced Oracle AI Database 26ai capabilities for the MAA Platinum-tier include:Oracle Data Guard Failover/Switchover: Helps customers achieve typical disaster failover times under 30 seconds for extremely large and complex deployments by delivering up to 4X faster failover. Data Guard also simplifies zero-downtime software updates and helps reduce costs by offloading read workloads to standby databases.Oracle Active Data Guard Remote Data Transfers: Delivers up to 2X faster remote data transfers for unencrypted data, and up to 9X faster remote data transfers for encrypted data compared to Oracle Database 19c. This enables ultra-high throughput databases to use encrypted data transfer with minimal performance impact.Oracle RAC Fast Restart Recovery: Helps reduce downtime created by node failures or planned maintenance operations. With Oracle AI Database 26ai RAC, online transaction processing (OLTP) applications can resume work up to 10X faster after a computer failure, and Pluggable Database startup is up to 2X faster.Oracle Transparent Application Continuity: Enables applications running against Oracle AI Database to continue running without interruptions or errors when a failure or upgrade occurs in a back-end database computer. Applications now benefit from transparency for more application use cases, queries failover 40 percent faster, and the CPU overhead is up to 50 percent lower in the database and 55 percent lower in the client.Oracle True Cache: Improves application response time by offloading reads from the primary database to consistent, in-memory, SQL caches. It also maintains read access to cached data during primary database outages, improving overall availability. Applications can achieve up to 10X faster query response and up to 2X faster read performance by using True Cache. Unlike other caching solutions, True Cache automatically stays synchronized with updates that occur on the back-end database, avoiding data inconsistency. This reduces development effort and overall costs.Oracle Zero Data Loss Autonomous Data Guard: Provides users of Autonomous AI Database Serverless with zero data loss protection for full database failovers. Available out-of-the-box at no additional charge on all leading clouds, this new zero-loss recovery capability lowers recovery point objectives (RPO) to zero for Autonomous Databases configured with Autonomous Data Guard.Achieve near-zero downtime for applications designed for extreme availability with Oracle MAA Diamond-tier 
Oracle Diamond-tier availability builds on the capabilities of Platinum-tier by enabling applications that are designed for extreme availability to achieve zero data loss and failover times that are typically under three seconds. Enhanced capabilities include:Oracle Diamond-tier Architecture: Enables customers to dramatically reduce downtime and its associated costs by using a combination of Oracle technologies in an integrated Diamond-tier architecture. The combination of Oracle AI Database 26ai, Oracle Exadata, Oracle RAC, Oracle Active Data Guard, Oracle Zero Data Loss Recovery services, and logical data replication provided by either Oracle GoldenGate or Oracle Globally Distributed AI Database provides unprecedented protection and availability from all types of threats.Oracle GoldenGate 26ai: Enables customers to achieve MAA Diamond-tier availability for ultra-critical applications by providing active-active data replication across geographically distributed regions, enabling zero data loss for full database failovers with recovery time that is typically between zero and three seconds. Built-in automatic conflict detection and resolution help ensure data remains consistent even when the data is simultaneously updated at multiple sites. GoldenGate is provided as a fully managed service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and other clouds, simplifying configuration and management.Oracle Globally Distributed AI Database: Delivers automatic, zero data loss failover both within and across regions, with failover times under three seconds by leveraging synchronous Raft replication. Upcoming support for asynchronous cross-region replication will further extend flexibility by enabling cross-region deployments without increasing transaction latency. The system can span multiple clouds and on-premises environments, enabling extreme active-active availability, even during cloud vendor outages, while also helping meet stringent data residency requirements.Safeguard essential operations with breakthrough new data security capabilities
In addition to providing extreme availability, mission-critical workloads need to be highly secure. With Oracle AI Database 26ai's new data security capabilities, customers can stay ahead of emerging threats and protect data across multicloud and on-premises environments. New security enhancements include:Oracle Deep Data Security: Helps customers reduce the risk of sensitive data exposure and address regulatory compliance as they deploy agentic AI. Oracle Deep Data Security in Oracle AI Database 26ai helps implement centralized, declarative, fine-grained authorization and data visibility policies directly in the database based on each end-user's identity, roles, and context. By separating authorization and auditing from application code, customers can reduce risk for both new AI agents and existing applications, help secure agentic and RAG workflows, and apply consistent controls across relational, vector, and lakehouse sources without relocating data. Deep Data Security is designed to block AI agents that are acting on behalf of an end-user from seeing other end-users' data, preventing data-leakage at the source of data, where security rules are very difficult to bypass.Post-Quantum Cryptography: Helps customers strengthen their cryptographic posture now and reduces the risk of future compromise of encrypted sensitive information that is captured today. With advances in quantum computing, customers face the growing threat of "harvest now, decrypt later," where attackers capture encrypted data or network messages today to decrypt them later when more advanced quantum computers become available. Oracle AI Database 26ai supports post-quantum readiness with NIST-approved quantum-resistant hybrid key exchange using TLS 1.3, AES-256 encryption for data protection, and quantum-safe public-key algorithms for authentication and digital signing.Database Security Central: Helps customers simplify and strengthen protection of their on-premises database estate by providing a centralized view of user risk, sensitive data exposure, and configuration posture across the full database estate. It enables teams to centrally detect configuration drift, assess privileged-user risk, streamline audit evidence collection, discover and analyze sensitive data access, and manage database firewall rules, all supported by an AI-powered security advisor. Database Security Central complements the existing Oracle Data Safe cloud service that protects multicloud environments.   Zero Data Loss Recovery solutions: Provides unique database-aware ransomware resiliency with data protection engineered into the core database. These solutions deliver real-time protection of database transactions for near-zero data loss, restore and recovery that is up to 5X faster than other products, policy-based immutable backups, separation of duties, and granular access control. Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance has already been used by major financial firms as a key component of their SEC 17a-4(f) recordkeeping compliance strategies. The newly released Virtual Air Gap capability further improves ransomware resilience, while the new ability to compress encrypted backups further improves efficiency."Oracle is already the trusted database for meeting the high availability workload demands of mission-critical applications in the largest enterprises in the world, along with thousands of smaller organizations," said Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst, Constellation Research. "With this latest set of announcements, Oracle is reaching a new pinnacle of availability with their Diamond-tier Maximum Availability Architecture, delivering near zero downtime with failover times typically under three seconds and zero data loss. This zero-zero availability level is demanded equally by traditional applications such as real-time credit-card processing and AI applications where agents need access to current data 24/7 to achieve their objectives. This clearly raises the bar for what a true mission-critical data architecture needs to resemble in the AI era."Oracle AI Database delivers extreme levels of availability with pushbutton ease, stock-exchange-level availability with MAA Diamond-tier, enhanced security and resilience, and scalable performance, helping enterprises large and small protect their most critical data assets to get the most out of them.

Original: Oracle Appoints Hilary Maxson as Chief Financial Officer

ORCL, is this the bottom

Oracle has enjoyed a strong narrative around cloud transformation and AI infrastructure, but the stock’s valuation now reflects expectations that may be too optimistic. Growth is uneven, competition is intense, and the company’s legacy business still weighs heavily on performance. When a slow-moving enterprise giant is priced like a high-growth cloud leader, the downside risk becomes hard to ignore.

1. Cloud Growth Is Slowing Relative to Expectations
Oracle’s cloud business has grown, but not at the pace the market expected. The company is still far behind the major cloud providers, and its growth rate has begun to cool. Investors priced in a rapid acceleration that hasn’t materialized.

A cloud laggard trading at a cloud-leader valuation is a bearish setup.

2. Heavy Dependence on Legacy Software
A large portion of Oracle’s revenue still comes from:

aging database products

on-premise enterprise software

long-term licensing agreements

These segments are slow-growth and margin-sensitive. As customers migrate to modern cloud architectures, Oracle risks losing relevance — or being forced into costly incentives to retain clients.

Legacy drag is real, and the market is underestimating it.

3. Competition Is Fierce Across All Segments
Oracle faces intense pressure from:

cloud hyperscalers

modern database platforms

open-source alternatives

AI-native infrastructure providers

Oracle is fighting battles on multiple fronts, and the market is pricing it as if it will win all of them.

4. AI Infrastructure Narrative May Be Overhyped
Oracle has leaned heavily into the AI-infrastructure story, but:

its GPU supply is limited

its data-center footprint lags competitors

its AI partnerships are early-stage and unproven

its software ecosystem is not the default choice for AI workloads

The stock is being priced as if Oracle will become a major AI infrastructure player, but the fundamentals don’t support that leap yet.

5. Margin Pressure Is Building
Oracle’s push into cloud and AI requires massive capital expenditures. At the same time:

hardware costs are rising

data-center investments are accelerating

customer acquisition costs are increasing

These pressures threaten margins at a time when investors expect expansion, not contraction.

6. Overbought Technicals and Momentum-Driven Buying
$ORCL has been pushed into overbought territory multiple times due to momentum trading and narrative-driven buying. When sentiment cools, Oracle tends to correct sharply because the fundamentals don’t justify the elevated price.

Crowded trades unwind quickly.

Bottom Line
Oracle is a respected enterprise software company, but the stock is priced as if it’s about to become a dominant cloud and AI powerhouse. With slowing cloud growth, heavy legacy exposure, rising competition, margin pressure, and overbought technicals, $ORCL carries meaningful downside risk if expectations reset.

Veritone Announces Strategic Agreement with Oracle to Accelerate Enterprise AI and AI Data EconomyMarch 26, 2026 4:33 PM
Business Wire
Multi-year partnership will support Veritone’s global growth and AI expansion across commercial and public sectors, Veritone Data Refinery, and Veritone Data Marketplace


Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI), a leader in building enterprise AI and data solutions, today announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with Oracle to migrate Veritone AI solutions to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). By adopting OCI as a preferred cloud and infrastructure provider, Veritone will enhance the scalability, security, and performance of its AI offerings, including its aiWARE platform, Veritone Data Refinery (VDR) and Veritone Data Marketplace (VDM).


As the demand for scalable, secure, and sovereign AI infrastructure continues to grow, Veritone plans to use OCI’s high-performance AI infrastructure to power its aiWARE platform. In addition, Veritone will leverage OCI’s distributed cloud – spanning the edge, a customer’s datacenter multi-cloud environments, and the public cloud – to help meet security and data residency requirements.


“Through this partnership with Oracle, we are strengthening our leadership in managing unstructured data and complex, multi-model AI workflows while reinforcing our commitment to delivering robust, dynamic AI solutions,” said Ryan Steelberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Veritone. “By migrating and expanding some of our most critical workloads to OCI, we expect to further support our commercial and public sector customers with the performance, security, and scalability they require to stay ahead in an AI-driven world and further scale VDR.”


Supporting Veritone Customers Across Key Industries


With this partnership, Veritone will be able to expand its services and grow its business across three core areas:



Commercial (Media, Sports, Entertainment, and News): Veritone plans to use OCI’s low-latency networking and high-performance storage to enhance the performance and scale of its Digital Media Hub (DMH) and content licensing services. Together, Veritone and Oracle enable media partners like NCAA, CBS News, Augusta National, and ESPN to more intelligently search, manage, and monetize their archives while unlocking richer audience insights and more effective content personalization.




Public Sector: Veritone plans to deploy its AI-powered Intelligent Digital Evidence Management System (iDEMS) on OCI in environments designed to support U.S. government and public sector requirements, including CJIS and FedRAMP-authorized environments. This is intended to help agencies modernize data and investigative workflows with a secure, compliant, and resilient environment.




AI Data Economy: Veritone will continue to expand its data services through VDR and VDM. VDR, with a rapidly expanding demand pipeline, will leverage OCI to accelerate and cost-efficiently transform and tokenize raw, unstructured data, including audio and video, into high-quality training datasets. VDM will leverage OCI to further expand the volume of premium data available to the world’s leading AI developers.



“Veritone has built strong capabilities in AI, especially in managing unstructured data and supporting complex media workflows,” said Chris Gandolfo, executive vice president, North America OCI Sales & Engineering, Oracle. “By working together, we are helping organizations—particularly in regulated and data-intensive industries—deploy and scale AI initiatives with security, performance, and control.”
