Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL) stock fell Monday following the company’s announcement of a financing plan for 2026. The stock’s decline comes as the company is raising funds to expand its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure business.

Oracle plans to raise between $45 billion and $50 billion in gross cash proceeds during the 2026 calendar year through a mix of debt and equity financing. The company aims to fund the expansion to meet the growing demand from major clients, including Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), OpenAI, and TikTok.

Additionally, Oracle intends to raise about half of the required funding through equity-linked and common equity issuances, including a newly authorized at-the-market equity program of up to $20 billion. The remaining funds will be secured through a one-time issuance of investment-grade senior unsecured bonds early in 2026.
