Oracle Stock News and Forecast (ORCL) for Dec. 26, 2025: TikTok JV, $523B Backlog, and AI Spending in Focus

December 26, 2025 — Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) is closing out 2025 in a very Oracle kind of way: one part enterprise-software cash machine, one part AI infrastructure sprint, and one part political-regulatory soap opera thanks to TikTok. In the first full U.S. trading session after Christmas (following an early close on Dec. 24 and a market closure on Dec. 25), Oracle stock is hovering around the high-$190s and attempting to stabilize after a wild second half of the year. NASDAQ Trader But the real story isn’t today’s tick-by-tick. It’s the tug-of-war between (1) Oracle’s enormous contracted backlog and cloud

Wall Street reopened Friday, December 26, for the first full U.S. trading session after Christmas—and the mood was calm on the surface, even as the bigger picture looks anything but ordinary. U.S. stock index futures were largely flat in thin, post-holiday trading, keeping the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 within reach of fresh highs after both indexes logged record closes in the holiday-shortened session earlier this week.
