If You'd Invested $10,000 in Oracle a Year Ago, Here's What It Would Be Worth Today

A $10,000 investment in Oracle made one year ago would be worth approximately $6,300 today. Despite strong AI-driven demand with remaining performance obligations reaching $638 billion and cloud infrastructure revenue accelerating to $18.1 billion, the stock declined 38% due to massive capital expenditures ($55.7 billion in fiscal 2026) resulting in negative free cash flow of $23.7 billion, significant workforce reductions of 21,000 employees, and substantial shareholder dilution through debt and equity raises. The market repriced Oracle from a high-growth software company to a capital-intensive AI infrastructure builder.
