- Common stock offering: 86,206,897 shares at $0.01 par, $10B gross proceeds.
- Notes: five tranches totaling $10B, coupons 7.000%–8.650%, maturities 2029–2046.
- Both offerings made under automatic shelf registration on Form S-3 (File No. 333-299752).
- BofA Securities acted as representative of the underwriters for both offerings.
- Proceeds may fund capex, debt repayment, acquisitions, dividends, or buybacks.
Extended-hours last trade $124.31, +0.44% vs regular close, suggesting a muted reaction to the dilution and debt raise. Regular session closed -1.92% at $123.77.
A $20B dual capital raise signals Oracle is aggressively funding AI infrastructure and balance-sheet flexibility at a time of elevated borrowing costs.
The high-coupon debt (up to 8.650%) reflects Oracle's heavy AI-infrastructure capex financing needs, consistent with peers funding data-center buildouts.
The 86.2M-share issuance dilutes existing holders, and the $10B of new notes adds leverage at elevated coupons.
