Oracle’s Forecast Rekindles AI Bubble Fears

What happened

Oracle ($ORCL) missed quarterly expectations and issued forecasts that came in below what Wall Street wanted to see, while also signaling a bigger jump in AI-related spending (capex).

It expects at least 400 billion dollars of revenue in 2026 and plans to keep tightening costs and exiting weaker lines.

CrowdStrike’s sky-high valuation and what it means for cyber stocks
