Oracle shares fall over 3% ahead of earnings as AI spending in focus | Stock Market News
Oracle shares dropped over 3% on Thursday as investors waited for its quarterly results. The stock is down 19% in 2026 and has lost more than half its value since a record high a year ago, hurt by worries about debt taken on for AI expansion. Analysts still expect earnings per share to rise about 30%. Watch the results closely if you hold tech stocks.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Oracle shares fell 3.44%, or $5.69, to $155.94 on Thursday before its quarterly earnings report, which was due after the US market closed.
- Analysts expect about a 30% rise in earnings per share and nearly the same growth in revenue for the quarter that ended August 31.
- S&P Global Ratings downgraded Oracle's credit rating to the lowest investment-grade level in July, and the cost of its five-year credit default swaps recently hit a record high.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you hold or are considering Oracle shares, read the earnings release and its cash-flow and debt figures before taking any step, and check with your own adviser instead of reacting to a single day's price move.
