Oracle Corporation announced its detailed 2026 strategy today, focusing on investing in its rapidly expanding Oracle Cloud Infrastructure division. The company plans to raise $45 to $50 billion in debt and equity to boost its AI capabilities and meet high demand from AMD, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, TikTok, and xAI.
The company stated that on the equity front, it intends to raise about half of its 2026 funding through a mix of equity-linked and common stock issuances. This will likely involve an initial offering of mandatory convertible preferred securities, which will constitute a small part of the total equity funding, as well as a newly approved at-the-market equity program capable of raising up to $20 billion.
On the debt side, Oracle plans to issue a one-time, investment-grade senior unsecured bond in early 2026 to fund the remaining half of its planned financing for the year.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. will lead the senior unsecured bond offering, and Citigroup Inc. will lead the at-the-market issuance and the mandatory convertible preferred equity offering, Oracle said.
Oracle confirmed that these transactions have received approval from the Oracle Board of Directors.
The company’s shares rose about 5% in premarket trading today following the announcement.
