Bond Sale Plans

Oracle is reportedly looking to raise $15 billion through a corporate bond sale, according to Bloomberg sources. The offering could be structured in up to seven separate parts, and one tranche is said to be an uncommon 40‑year bond.

AI Compute Agreements

These financing efforts follow Oracle’s recent announcement of a historic AI infrastructure deal with OpenAI. The agreement, described as a $300 billion compute commitment, positions Oracle as a key provider of AI‑related cloud resources. In addition, the company is reportedly in discussions with Meta>Meta about a $20 billion compute deal, further expanding its AI partnership portfolio.

Leadership Transition

At the same time, Oracle confirmed a leadership change. Long‑time chief executive Safra Catz will shift from the CEO role to serve as executive vice‑chair of the board after more than a decade at the helm. She will be succeeded by co‑CEOs Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia, who will jointly lead the company moving forward.

Market Implications

The bond sale aims to fund Oracle’s aggressive expansion in AI and cloud infrastructure, providing the capital needed to support the sizable compute contracts with OpenAI and potentially Meta. Analysts view the move as a strategic effort to secure long‑term financing for high‑growth initiatives while capitalizing on the booming demand for AI‑driven services.
