Oracle stock’s $638 billion backlog fails to stop worst selloff in years
Oracle Corporation enters the long U.S. holiday weekend with an odd split in its numbers: contracted demand has grown larger than the company’s market value, while the stock has kept falling. U.S. equity markets were closed Friday, July 3, for Independence Day observed, with normal NYSE and Nasdaq hours listed as 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET on regular trading days. Oracle’s last regular-session print was Thursday’s $140.27 close, down 1.56%, after touching an intraday low of $138.83. Volume was 44.27 million shares, about 56% above Google Finance’s listed average volume of 28.37 million.
