More context
Oracle plans to raise $20 billion through stock and bond sales to finance its AI and cloud infrastructure expansion, regulatory filings showed Monday. Preliminary filings outlined $10 billion in common stock and $10 billion in senior notes; neither offering was priced when the plans were filed. Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the matter, reported the share sale was expected to be priced at $116 a share, about 11% below the Oct. 30 closing price. Oracle said proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes, including capital spending, debt repayment, acquisitions, dividends and share buybacks. The company said last week it would limit additional AI financing to $20 billion through fiscal 2030, while capital spending is expected to peak this fiscal year and next. The cap excludes borrowing to refinance existing obligations.
