Key Headlines Impacting Oracle

Here are the key news stories impacting Oracle this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Oracle secured a ~15% stake and “Trusted Technology Partner” role in the newly spun‑off U.S. TikTok joint venture, which effectively locks TikTok as a large, long‑term tenant for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and helps justify Oracle’s big data‑center buildouts.

• Negative Sentiment: Morgan Stanley flagged that Oracle’s aggressive AI‑infrastructure buildout could create downside risk to EPS targets if spending and revenue cadence diverge from analyst expectations — a reminder that capital intensity and execution timing matter for near‑term earnings.
