On February 1, 2026, Oracle Corporation unveiled a comprehensive plan to secure between $45 billion and $50 billion in gross proceeds over the calendar year to meet surging demand for its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. The funding strategy balances debt and equity: approximately 50 percent via a single issuance of investment-grade senior unsecured bonds, led by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and the remaining half through equity-linked and common equity instruments. The equity component includes an initial mandatory convertible preferred securities issuance and a new at-the-market equity program capped at $20 billion. Oracle emphasized that this approach preserves its investment-grade credit profile and strengthens its balance sheet as it scales capacity for key contracted clients such as AMD, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, TikTok and xAI.

Recent SEC filings reveal that Principal Financial Group Inc. increased its stake in Oracle by 7.6 percent, adding 172,624 shares to reach a holding of 2,441,969 shares valued at approximately $687 million. Vanguard Group Inc. lifted its position by 2.1 percent during the second quarter, now owning 164.3 million shares, while State Street Corp. boosted its holdings by 1.7 percent to 73.5 million shares. Norges Bank established a new position valued at roughly $4.3 billion. Collectively, hedge funds and other institutional investors now control 42.44 percent of Oracle’s outstanding shares, underscoring broad confidence in the company’s growth trajectory as it rolls out its capital-raising program.
