Kapitalbedarf für KI-Boom: Oracle will sich 20 Milliarden Dollar beschaffen

Oracle, the American software and data center company, is seeking to raise 20 billion dollars to fuel its growth, according to the company's announcement. This will be achieved through the issuance of new shares worth 10 billion dollars, as well as the sale of 10 billion dollars worth of bonds. The proceeds from these financial instruments are intended to support the company's ongoing operations, which may include investment expenditures and dividend payments, according to Oracle.

Only a few days ago, Oracle had announced its new investment plans to fund its infrastructure investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Investors were initially taken aback, with the stock price in New York falling by more than six percent on Monday. Oracle anticipates significant growth in the coming years due to the AI boom, which is expected to support itself starting from the fiscal year 2028/29 without relying on the issuance of equity and debt.

The company intends to collect only 20 billion dollars from the financial market for growth financing by the middle of 2030, it was reported last week. The recent massive issuance of shares and bonds to finance data center operations had heavily weighed down the Oracle stock price. Within a year, the stock of the highly indebted corporation had lost nearly half of its value.
