Oracle stock price today: ORCL edges higher as TikTok outage and new cloud wins grab focus

New York, January 28, 2026, 11:05 EST — Regular session Oracle shares climbed 0.5% to $175.76 by late morning Wednesday, clawing back some of Tuesday’s losses amid new developments around its data centers. The Nasdaq-100 tracking Invesco QQQ fund edged up roughly 0.3%. Oracle’s stock has been volatile as the company navigates a major transition in corporate computing—from owning servers to leasing cloud capacity. This shift comes with hefty costs, and investors have swiftly reacted to any hints of trouble, whether outages or rising expenses.

Oracle stock slips after Morgan Stanley warning; TikTok U.S. deal puts ORCL in play

New York, January 23, 2026, 17:59 EST — After-hours Oracle shares slipped in after-hours trading Friday following a price target cut from Morgan Stanley. The bank warned Oracle faces “little room for error” as it ramps up GPU-as-a-service — leasing graphics processing units crucial for AI model training and operations. Oracle ended the session down 0.59% at $177.13, slipping further to $176.95 after the bell. (Investing.com) The call comes as investors wrestle with how much Oracle might need to spend—and borrow—to support a jump in long-term cloud commitments linked to AI workloads.

Oracle stock price falls after-hours as tariff jitters fade, but ORCL still lags market rebound

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 16:42 ET — After-hours Oracle shares dropped 3.4% to $173.88 in after-hours trading Wednesday, continuing their slide despite a late-day bounce in the broader U.S. market. This shift is significant since Oracle now serves as a high-beta indicator for sentiment on major cloud and AI infrastructure investments, and geopolitical jitters have rattled the market once more. Wednesday’s split—stocks climbing while Oracle slipped—highlighted how fast investors are toggling between “AI buildout” leaders and concerns over balance sheets.

Oracle stock price slides as tariff fears hit tech — what ORCL investors watch next

New York, Jan 20, 2026, 11:20 EST — Regular session Oracle Corp shares fell 3.9% to $183.71 in late-morning trading on Tuesday, extending losses following a rocky start to 2026 for the software and cloud giant. The timing is crucial. Oracle has become a stand-in for debt-fueled AI infrastructure bets, and investors have quickly dumped shares at any hint of rising funding costs or waning risk appetite. Back in December, the company revealed that capital expenditures—covering major investments like data centers and servers—would be $15 billion higher in fiscal 2026 than its September forecast.

The next update for investors comes Tuesday when U.S. markets resume trading following the Martin Luther King Jr. Day break. (Investopedia) Investors hit the brakes amid a bondholder lawsuit accusing Oracle of not disclosing how much extra debt it would rack up to fund an AI expansion linked to its OpenAI deal. According to the suit, investors snapped up $18 billion in Oracle notes and bonds on Sept. 25—two weeks after Oracle unveiled its $300 billion, five-year OpenAI

Oracle stock slips after UBS says junk-rating fears look overdone as AI debt grows

Oracle stock slips after UBS says junk-rating fears look overdone as AI debt grows

New York, January 7, 2026, 17:38 EST — After-hours Oracle (ORCL.N) shares edged lower in after-hours trading on Wednesday as investors weighed a UBS view that the software maker is unlikely to be cut to junk credit status despite a big debt load tied to its AI data-center buildout. The stock was down about 0.5% at $192.84. The comments matter now because Oracle is leaning on borrowing to fund new capacity, and any hit to its investment-grade rating could lift interest costs when it is still spending heavily. “A downgrade to junk in the first-quarter is not our baseline and

Blackstone (BX) stock price rebounds after Sabre deal as jobs, CPI loom next week

7 February 2026
New York, February 6, 2026, 21:13 EST — Market closed. Blackstone Inc. (BX) shares closed up 2.25% at $129.69 on Friday, after a sharp drop the day before and a bruising week for the sector. The stock was last at $129.65 in late after-hours trading. (StockAnalysis) The swing matters because Blackstone sits in the crosshairs of a wider rethink of private-market managers. Investors have been quick to punish anything tied to leverage, credit risk and tech exposure, then just as quick to buy back when rates and risk appetite settle. That push-pull has been driven in part by an AI-linked
