Oracle ORCL Stock Risks Breaking $115 Support as Cloud Concerns Grow
Oracle (ORCL) shares fell 7% on Thursday and 14% this week, dropping below $115. Concerns grow over its cloud expansion costs, political opposition to data centers, and a $20B funding package. Investors question if future demand will justify spending. Management targets $30B in free cash flow by fiscal 2029.
