Oracle Now Gets “$16 Billion a Year” per Gigawatt, Up From $10 Billion

Oracle (ORCL) announced that a gigawatt of new AI contracts now generates $16 billion annually, up 60% from $10 billion in October 2025. CFO Hilary Maxson attributed this to cost inflation, particularly in memory. CoreWeave's contracts are priced higher at $20-$25 million per megawatt. Oracle's fiscal 2030 revenue target remains $225 billion plus, with consensus estimates aligning. OpenAI accounts for about half of Oracle's backlog, posing a risk.
