Oracle said it expects to raise roughly $45 billion to $50 billion in calendar 2026 through a mix of equity and debt to finance a major expansion of cloud infrastructure for contracted AI customers. Some market headlines cited a $25 billion bond sale tied to AI funding, though that figure appeared in aggregated briefs distinct from the overall $45-50 billion program. The stock showed mixed early movement, dipping about 3 percent in premarket trading before trading up roughly 2 percent on Monday. The company has shed about half its market value since that September high, a decline various outlets put near $460 billion to $463 billion in erased market capitalization. Those commitments coincide with heightened credit scrutiny: Oracle reported a roughly $10 billion cash burn in the first half of the fiscal year, and the company has faced a bondholder lawsuit and elevated credit default swap costs.
