Oracle on Wednesday forecast capital spending plans for fiscal 2027 above Wall Street estimates, as the cloud computing company said it will also raise more debt in 2027, reflecting the staggering scale of cash burn needed to build out its AI infrastructure.
Its shares fell 8.9% in extended trading, after Oracle said it expects to raise nearly $40 billion through a combination of debt and equity financing in 2027. This includes its previously announced $20 billion at-the-market equity issuance.
