Oracle Corporation saw its shares climb 6.63% on December 19, 2025, continuing with a 3.34% gain on December 22, 2025, following news of its involvement in a new joint venture for TikTok's U.S. operations. This positive sentiment offset earlier concerns around December 17, 2025, regarding the company's substantial debt load and funding challenges for its ambitious AI data center projects, which had caused a 5.40% drop in shares. The company's Q2 FY2026 results from December 10, 2025, showed strong OCI growth but highlighted a $10 billion free cash flow outflow due to significant capital expenditures for AI infrastructure.
