On June 11, Wedbush stated in a report that Oracle is taking the right steps to meet the surging demand for AI. Despite the company's stock price dropping 9% in pre-market trading following the announcement of its fourth-quarter results, Wedbush analysts noted that prepayments from Oracle's AI contracts and hardware provided by customers have acted as a buffer. The analysts indicated that these factors have reduced the amount of funding Oracle needs to raise and kept the financing requirements for fiscal year 2027 manageable in relation to the scale of AI demand. Oracle announced on Wednesday that it expects to raise $40 billion in debt and equity financing this year, which includes a previously announced $20 billion equity offering.
