Oracle shares jump ~9% as CoreWeave results ease AI financing concerns

Oracle stock rose about 9% to $128 after CoreWeave’s strong Q3 earnings reduced worries about AI‑cloud financing. Oracle highlighted a record 1 GW AI‑driven demand reduction across more than 70 events and reported cloud infrastructure revenue of $7.4 billion and total revenue of $19.3 billion, while noting $28.5 billion of capex and negative free cash flow.

Mizuho analysts say Oracle’s already‑permitted data‑center sites give it an advantage if new construction faces regulatory limits. The stock’s rise offers a short‑term boost, but investors must weigh the heavy capital spending and negative cash flow.
