The biggest story in the stock market this week was the Q2 2026 earnings release from Oracle Corporation (ORCL).

Despite recording quarterly top-line revenue of $16.06 billion, up 14% year-over-year, ORCL stock dropped over 12% after its earnings release. 

Tyrone, What is Wall Street Worried About?

The short answer is that investors are concerned about Oracle’s massive, debt-fueled spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.

While Oracle has secured major deals, including a historic agreement with OpenAI, and has $523 billion of contracted revenue that hasn’t yet been recognized, investors are worried that the scale of investment is becoming a significant credit risk and that the payoff will take longer than expected.

Oracle now says it anticipates about $50 billion in fiscal 2026 capital expenditures. To put this in perspective, the sum for fiscal 2025 was $21.2 billion.

Here’s the important part: 

To fund this, Oracle has taken on substantial debt, including a "jumbo" $18 billion bond sale this past September.

Even though they have raised this money from the bond market, the big money on Wall Street is not fond of this type of financing.

These concerns have led to a sell-off, with the stock down over 18% in the past 30 days.  I don’t see the stock advancing in the next 13 weeks.

In general, volatility will pick up again after January 15th.

Stay positive and stay disciplined!
