- Investigation Launched: The Schall Law Firm is investigating Oracle for potential violations of securities laws regarding false or misleading statements, indicating possible issues in the company's information disclosure practices that could affect investor rights.
- Massive Deal: In September 2026, Oracle signed a $300 billion, five-year agreement with OpenAI, and shortly thereafter raised $18 billion through bonds and notes, highlighting the urgency of its financing needs.
- Subsequent Financing: Just seven weeks after the initial raise, Oracle secured an additional $38 billion to fund data centers related to the OpenAI agreement, indicating an increased reliance on capital markets that may undermine investor confidence.
- Stock Price Reaction: Due to the lack of timely disclosure regarding these financing activities, Oracle's shares fell by nearly 4.3%, reflecting market concerns over the company's transparency and management decisions.
