$149B Social Security payout eyed by U.S. retailers in July

$149B Social Security payout eyed by U.S. retailers in July

Social Security is set to deliver about $149 billion in July, based on May numbers. Payments follow a birthday-and-SSI schedule, sending federal benefits to U.S. bank accounts through the month. This time, SSI recipients get two payments, with the second one on July 31 since Aug. 1 is a Saturday. That early deposit counts as August’s benefit, so it’s not an extra payout.

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares slump as AI backlog now tops company’s market cap

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares slump as AI backlog now tops company’s market cap

Oracle Corporation goes into the July 6 restart facing an unusual challenge for the market—its cloud order backlog is bigger than the company’s equity value. Shares finished at $140.27 on July 2. That put Oracle’s market cap at roughly $408.5 billion. At the end of its fiscal fourth quarter, Oracle showed $638 billion in RPO. So the market cap is about 0.64 times the reported backlog.

This directive covers 11 planes registered in the U.S. and flagged by Boeing’s alert bulletin, and kicks in Aug. 6.
