This includes \u2060its previously announced $20 billion at-the-market equity issuance.<\/div>\n<div>The company spent about $55.66 billion in 2026, above its target of $50 \u200bbillion, amid intense investor scrutiny over its rising debt load. Oracle had said in February it aimed \u200bto raise as much as $50 billion this year through a combination of debt and equity sales.<\/div>\n<div>Oracle CFO Hilary Maxson told analysts on a conference call that the company&#8217;s gross margins will &#8220;step down&#8221; over its just-begun fiscal 2027 as it ramps \u200bup data-center projects.<\/div>\n<div>Oracle also said it now has remaining performance obligations, a key measure of future revenue \u200bunder contract, of $638 billion, above analyst estimates of $592.52 billion, according to data from Visible Alpha.<\/div>\n<div>Maxson for the first time \u200cgave a \u2060time frame for how soon Oracle expects that contracted revenue to arrive, saying the company expects 12% of it, or $76.56 billion, over the next 12 months, and another 34%, or about $216.92 billion, in the two years after that.<\/div>\n<div>But how Oracle will fund the capital spending to earn that revenue remains a top \u200bconcern for investors, said \u200bJacob Bourne, an analyst \u2060at eMarketer.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;The demand is real with cloud infrastructure revenue and backlog growing fast. But the funding question is getting harder, not easier, with capex coming in \u200bwell above estimates and free cash flow still negative,&#8221; he said.<\/div>\n<div>The software \u200bindustry is also \u2060contending with growing investor concerns that AI tools could pull enterprise clients away from traditional software by taking over tasks once done by their products.<\/div>\n<div>Oracle reported total revenue of $19.18 billion for the fourth quarter, compared with \u2060analysts&#8217; average \u200bestimate of $19.10 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.<\/div>\n<div>Its adjusted \u200bprofit of $2.03 per share for the quarter exceeded expectations of $1.96.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1604\">Somali soccer referee who was denied US entry comes home to\u00a0hero\u2019s welcome<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1598\">UN to send investigators to Lebanon over potential law breaches, rights chief says<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=1596\">\u2018I love the inflation,\u2019 Trump says as prices rise amid Iran war<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oracle&#8217;s capital spending for 2026 exceeded its projection and the cloud computing company said on Wednesday it would raise more debt in 2027, reflecting the staggering scale of cash burn needed to build out its AI \u200binfrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[135],"class_list":["post-1606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-technology"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
