Blackstone is contemplating a debt investment in Oracle's data center project in Saline, Michigan. This potential financing follows increased scrutiny of the AI infrastructure initiative. Scrutiny intensified after Blue Owl Capital opted not to provide equity.

Oracle's stock experienced a brief surge on January 29, 2026. The stock closed down 0.8% in afternoon trading. This development occurs as Oracle's stock has recently declined. Furthermore, the cost to insure Oracle's debt has risen.
