Oracle plans to raise up to $50 billion in debt and equity this year

Feb 1 (Reuters) – Oracle expects to raise $45 billion to $50 billion in 2026 to build additional capacity for its cloud infrastructure, the software company said on Sunday.

The company, chaired by billionaire Larry Ellison, said it plans to achieve its financing goals through a combination of debt and equity financing.

“Oracle is raising money to build additional capacity to meet the contracted needs of our largest Oracle Cloud Infrastructure customers, including AMD, Meta, NVIDIA‌OpenAITikTok, xAI and others,” the company said in a statement.

Oracle plans to raise about half of the funds through a combination of equity and common stock offerings, including mandatory convertible preferred securities and a new market-rate equity program of up to $20 billion.

The software company plans to raise the other half of its funding through the issuance of senior unsecured notes in early 2026.
