Oracle shares fell 1.9% Thursday after bondholders sued, alleging the company failed to disclose plans for $38 billion in new debt tied to its OpenAI deal. The lawsuit targets buyers of $18 billion in bonds issued weeks before the borrowing. Oracle also announced a cloud contract with the UK Ministry of Defence. An Oracle officer filed to sell up to 35,000 shares, according to a regulatory notice.
