Summary · why it matters

Oracle shares fell 4% to $142.82 on Tuesday as a global bond selloff lifted the 10-year Treasury yield to a one-year high of 4.78%, repricing the cost of the debt that funds its AI infrastructure buildout. Nebius Group slipped 3% to $200.45 in sympathy, while the First Trust Cloud Computing ETF dropped 2% to $161.76, versus a 0.9% decline in the Invesco QQQ Trust to $710.30, confirming that debt-heavy AI builders absorb rate shocks harder than broad large-cap tech. Oracle's fiscal 2026 capital expenditure totaled $55.7 billion, up from $21.2 billion the prior year, and the company covered a $23.7 billion cash shortfall by raising $43 billion in debt and $5 billion in equity, leaving it the most leveraged mega-cap AI builder. Co-CEO Clay Magouyrk cited $553 billion in contracted but unrecognized revenue, with cloud infrastructure revenue up 77%, yet total liabilities reached $218.7 billion against equity of $42.5 billion. The Economic Times reported Oracle is eliminating roughly 3,000 positions in India, part of a 13% headcount reduction to about 141,000, with restructuring charges of $1.8 billion under its 2026 Restructuring Plan.
