Oracle ( ORCL) stock slid in Thursday premarket trading, as investors were disappointed by the cloud software giant's current quarter guidance and increased spending forecast for 2026.
The company now expects fiscal 2026 capital expenditure to be about $15B higher than its previous outlook. Much of Oracle's ( ORCL) capex is spent on data centers. Shares of the company were -12.5% ahead of the opening bell.
