It has been just over a week since tech giant Oracle ORCL reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results on June 10, and the market is still weighing the mixed signals. Although Oracle comfortably beat analysts' expectations on both the top and bottom lines for the quarter, and raised its profit guidance for fiscal 2027, its share price dropped roughly 10% in after-hours trading last Wednesday.
This initial market reaction reflected the primary anxiety stemming from ORCL’s announcement of raising its capital expenditure for fiscal 2027 by approximately $40 billion (through a combination of debt and equity financing) to fund its AI data center buildout.
In addition to this, the company’s revelation that massive investments to support the growth of its Cloud Infrastructure business pushed its full-year free cash flow to a negative $23.7 billion, continued to put downward pressure on ORCL’s share price, which dipped 8.8% since June 10.
However, all hope is not lost for Oracle. As the company remains a dominant hyperscaler and a foundational cloud provider in the AI era, its long-term upside potential remains massive, backed by a record-breaking $638 billion backlog in remaining performance obligations.
Against this backdrop, investors who want to capitalize on Oracle's long-term cloud infrastructure boom — without being exposed to the unique single-stock volatility, heavy debt loads, and company-specific financing challenges — may want to gain exposure to Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) with significant exposure to this tech giant. But before diving straight into these ETFs, let us break down ORCL’s overall performance in the fiscal fourth quarter across other key metrics.
A Brief Analysis of ORCL’s Q4 Results
Oracle’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.11 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.7%, while its revenues comfortably exceeded the consensus mark by 0.5%.
From a business perspective, Oracle’s multicloud revenues increased 404% year over year, while bookings surged 325%.
The company’s remaining performance obligations, expected to be recognized in the next 12 months, increased 363% year over year, driven by large-scale AI contracts.
In the fiscal fourth quarter, 35,000 GPUs from 59 separate customers were up for renewal, with 49% of those customers renewing for 92% of those GPUs. Oracle’s global GPU utilization rate is 97.5%.
During fiscal 2026, ORCL delivered more than 1.2 gigawatts to its customers. It raised $43 billion in debt financing and $5 billion in equity financing.
Looking ahead, Oracle expects to incur capital expenditures of around $70 billion in fiscal 2027.
