Oracle shares drop 5% as higher layoff costs overshadow Ellison's canceled $7.5B stock sale plan.

Oracle's stock fell 5% after the company revealed that layoff costs increased by $700 million due to severance and AI-related workforce reductions, overshadowing Executive Chair Larry Ellison's canceled plan to sell $7.5 billion in shares. The negative reaction also affected AI infrastructure peers CoreWeave and Nebius, which dropped 5% each, reflecting broader concerns about the sustainability of hyperscale AI spending. Oracle is funding its data center expansion through debt and share issuance amid negative free cash flow, raising financing concerns despite Ellison's insider vote of confidence. Investors will watch for further clarity on restructuring costs and AI demand to gauge the stock's outlook.
