Oracle (ORCL, $77.22) shares fall, on lower-than-expected guidance

Oracle (ORCL, $77.22) shares fall, on lower-than-expected guidance

Oracle shares dropped -5% in extended trading on Tuesday, despite earnings beat. It provided a lower-than-expected guidance on quarterly revenue.  The computer tech company also expressed plans to boost capital expenditures for cloud computing workloads.

Adjusted earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter came in at $1.54 per share, beating the $1.31 per share expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv.

Revenue for the quarter rose +8% year-over-year (vs. +3% in the prior quarter) to $11.23 billion, compared to $11.04 billion as expected by analysts (according to Refinitiv). Revenue growth got a boost from base effect since the prior-year quarter revenue fell around -6% amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Revenue from the cloud services and license support business was $7.39 billion, up +8% and above the FactSet consensus estimate of $7.32 billion. According to the company, revenue from its second-generation cloud infrastructure doubled in the quarter.

The cloud license and on-premises license segment generated $2.14 billion in revenue, growing  +9% and beating consensus estimate of $2.05 billion.

The company’s hardware revenue fell -2% to $882 million, in line with analysts’ estimates.

Looking ahead, Oracle is expecting adjusted earnings of 94 cents to 98 cents in per share for the fiscal first quarter, vs. $1.03 per share projected by analysts polled by Refinitiv. The company forecasts 3% to 5% revenue growth for that quarter, vs. 3% revenue growth estimated by analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.

According to Oracle, it expects to roughly double its cloud capex spending in FY 2022 to nearly $4 billion. “We are confident that the increased return in the cloud business more than justifies this increased investment, and our margins will expand over time,” CEO Safra Catz said.

AMD fell -5.03% to $555.85 in regular-session trading Friday, down -$29.45 from Thursday's close of $585.30, as of 9:42 a.m. ET shortly after the opening bell. No verified company-specific news or fundamental catalyst found: the decline tracks a broad semiconductor pullback and is consistent with profit-taking after a +44.7% rebound from the Nov. 5 close of $404.40, with the stock's typical daily swing running at 3.6%.
BZ dropped sharply, sliding from a $16.72 prior close to $13.48 (-19.38%), with the decline beginning in premarket and deepening into the early regular session. No verified company-specific news or fundamental catalyst was issued; the fall tracked a broad China ADR selloff (the Nasdaq Golden Dragon index slid more than 2%), but that alone is too small to explain a ~20% drop — the stock's Hong Kong listing fell only -2.6%.
NBIS fell from $154.69 to $129.12, down -16.53%, with the decline starting in premarket trading and continuing through the regular session. The drop followed Q3 results: revenue of $980.8M (+571% YoY) beat estimates, but management cut 2026 revenue guidance to the low end of its range on third-party capacity delays and raised 2026 capex to roughly $27B, reviving financing and execution fears.
The $290 central target is the arithmetic mean of 12 verified analyst price targets (rounded from roughly $293), with a wide range of about $126 to $410. Shares traded near $155 on the eve of the third-quarter report before falling roughly 17% to 22% after full-year guidance disappointed, widening the gap to the target.
IREN dropped -7.58% during regular trading, sliding from a $20.84 prior close to $19.26. A broad AI/neocloud sector sell-off drove the decline, after a Reuters report raised concerns over Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's leadership and Nebius guided its 2026 revenue toward the low end of its range.
