Despite a sharp decline in its stock price, Oracle Corporation is continuing its quarterly cash distribution to shareholders. The tech giant will pay a dividend of $0.50 per share on January 23rd, with the record date being January 9th. This distribution comes at a difficult time for the stock, which has declined more than 40% since its all-time high of $328 in September 2025.
Oracle shares are currently trading at around $189 and have lost another 3.4% in the past week alone. The stock is highly valued with a price-to-earnings ratio of around 35 and a price-to-sales multiple of 8.9. This contrasts with the S&P 500’s average sales multiple of 3.3. Oracle’s market capitalization is approximately $544 billion.
Broader industry interests are exerting pressure. Analysts at UBS, who reiterated their buy rating on Jan. 5, cited waning investor confidence in OpenAI as a major factor weighing on a number of technology stocks, including Oracle.
