What happened?
Shares of enterprise software giant Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) fell 5.7% in the afternoon session after a mix of negative news created headwinds for the company, including a possible cybersecurity breach, rising credit risk and skepticism about its ability to quickly turn its AI investments into revenue. The decline came as concerns grew over the high valuations of AI-related stocks. Adding to the pressure was the Clop ransomware group claiming it had penetrated Oracle’s internal systems. Investor concerns were also reflected in financial markets, where the cost of hedging against an Oracle default rose to its highest level in three years and credit default swaps, a measure of default risk, were described as “skyrocketing.”
Shares closed the day at $198.67, down 5.5% from the previous closing price.
