Oracle’s Free AI Builder Targets the Slower Side of Its Cloud Boom

Oracle’s Free AI Builder Targets the Slower Side of Its Cloud Boom

Oracle Corporation is offering a new AI-agent builder to Fusion Applications customers at no extra cost, a move that puts adoption ahead of a separate price tag in the slower-growing side of its cloud business. AI agents are software that can plan and carry out tasks. The launch matters because Oracle’s cloud mix flipped in fiscal 2026, with infrastructure rising above applications for the first time in the latest annual figures.

Oracle drops after $260 billion AI lease plan

Oracle drops after $260 billion AI lease plan

Oracle Corporation lost 2.9% to $136.52 in early trading Monday in New York, bringing its valuation down to roughly $397.5 billion. Some investors are weighing the company’s outstanding AI orders against a big number from the credit market: $260 billion in future data-center lease payments. Last week, S&P Global Ratings downgraded Oracle to BBB-, its lowest investment-grade rating, saying those obligations count toward adjusted debt.

AI stocks clear $26.5 billion test, memory chip trade now in focus

AI names wrapped up a volatile week, with the standout move tied to a big share sale rather than any earnings news. SK Hynix pulled in $26.5 billion after demand topped supply by over seven times. Its American depositary receipts—U.S. certificates for overseas shares—ended Friday at $168.01, up 12.8% from the $149 offering price. Nasdaq Composite rose 1.7% this week while the S&P 500 added 1.2%.

Apple’s stock jump adds $209B, but foldable iPhone numbers lag price rise

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) foldable iPhone seen in short supply, not mass rollout

Apple Inc. is offering what analysts call a scarcity trade with its first foldable iPhone. The phone could sell for more than twice the price of a Pro model, but with shipping volumes too low to have much near-term impact on Apple’s top line. That setup is intentional. Ming-Chi Kuo at TF International Securities said foldable iPhone shipments might come in at just 0.5 million to 1 million units in the third quarter, compared to 20 million to 22 million units for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. With a launch price between $2,300 and $2,500, that adds up to $1.15 billion to $2.5 billion in possible retail sales for the quarter.

AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

U.S. AI stocks closed out June showing a more defined split than earlier in the month. On one side were suppliers with signed AI orders. On the other, big spenders and software names trading at high multiples. NVIDIA, Broadcom, Micron Technology and Vertiv gave investors new operating numbers tied to their AI business. Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon.com and Meta Platforms remained key to demand, but the market focus moved in June to how the spending gets funded and what kind of payback investors can expect.
