Oracle Sets 2026 Plan to Raise Up to $50 Billion for Cloud Buildout

Board approval signals a push to fund contracted AI workloads without sacrificing investment‑grade status.

Overview

  • Oracle expects to generate $45–$50 billion in 2026, splitting the raise roughly evenly between equity and debt.
  • On the debt side, the company plans a single investment‑grade senior unsecured bond early in the year, led by Goldman Sachs.
  • Equity financing will include an initial mandatory convertible preferred issue and an at‑the‑market program of up to $20 billion run by Citigroup.
  • Proceeds are earmarked to expand Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to serve contracted demand from customers such as AMD, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, TikTok and xAI.
  • The board approved the plan as Oracle faces investor scrutiny that includes a bondholder lawsuit and a late‑2025 spike in the cost to insure its debt.
