Oracle plans to obtain FedRAMP Class D (formerly FedRAMP High) certification for Oracle AI Database services offered through AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. If achieved, it would let US government and public sector organizations run regulated Oracle AI Database workloads on Dedicated Exadata Infrastructure in AWS GovCloud (US), Microsoft Azure Government and Google Cloud Assured Workloads. Customers could buy the services through cloud marketplaces or qualified partners, keeping Oracle data closer to existing applications and AI services without managing a separate environment or billing account. Executives from Oracle, AWS, Microsoft and Google Cloud said the offering would help government customers modernize mission-critical applications while meeting compliance requirements.

- Oracle Expands Cloud Infrastructure Arsenal With Google, OpenAI, And Cerebras Partnerships
Oracle shares rose about 4% on Tuesday after the company announced a set of agreements around Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). OCI will offer Google's eighth-generation TPU chips starting in early 2027, becoming the first major cloud provider outside Google to do so. Oracle also launched the Oracle AI Security Mesh, powered by OpenAI's cyber models, to find code vulnerabilities while keeping human-supervised intervention thresholds. Cerebras wafer-scale processors will also be integrated into OCI data centers in 2027 to support fast AI inference. ORCL stock has lost about 32% year to date.

- Microsoft Vs. Oracle: Massive Backlog Fortunes With Vastly Different Risk Profiles
Microsoft and Oracle each reported record backlogs, $678 billion in commercial RPO for Microsoft and $664 billion for Oracle, but the funding behind them differs. Microsoft's fiscal Q4 revenue rose 17.8% to $90.01 billion and free cash flow reached $19.64 billion, with nearly 90% of Microsoft Cloud revenue coming from customers outside the frontier model companies. Oracle's $28.50 billion of capex pushed free cash flow to -$5.40 billion, interest expense rose 55% to $1.4 billion, and it completed a $20 billion at-the-market stock sale, while its CFO did not give a timeframe for positive free cash flow. Oracle shares fell 54.35% over the past year and trade at about 18x forward earnings versus 25x for Microsoft. The author says they prefer Microsoft for its diversified revenue and positive cash flow, while Oracle carries more uncertainty.
- Prediction: Oracle Could Become a Much Bigger AI Winner Than Investors Expect
Oracle shares have fallen about 32% this year despite cloud revenue growing 62% and $664 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO). The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a $201.27 price target, about 54.1% above the $130.63 share price, with a buy rating. Fiscal Q1 2027 non-GAAP EPS was $1.92 against a $1.7391 estimate, and revenue reached $19.345 billion. The bear case of $171.69 still sits above the current price, with risks including free cash flow of -$5.396 billion and interest expense up 55% to $1.4 billion. The article argues Oracle is growing faster than Microsoft and Amazon at a lower multiple.
- Where Will Oracle Stock Be in 2029? | The Motley Fool
Oracle's stock has fallen 53% over the past year, despite expectations that it would benefit from the AI infrastructure boom, as investors worry about debt of just over $169 billion against a $37 billion cash pile used to fund data center expansion. Its remaining performance obligations reached $664 billion, up $209 billion year over year, and fiscal Q1 revenue rose 30% to $19.3 billion, led by a 121% jump in cloud infrastructure revenue to $7.4 billion. Oracle is asking customers to prepay or bring their own hardware, which the article says should ease pressure on free cash flow and debt. Analysts expect earnings growth to step up sharply in fiscal 2029, after a 7% increase in the current year. The article argues that if EPS reaches $15.79 and the stock trades at 19 times earnings, the share price could hit $300, 129% above its current level.
- Oracle Vs. Microsoft: How The Wildcard AI Spender Plans to Disrupt
Oracle and Microsoft both reported quarters driven by AI cloud demand, but they fund expansion differently: Oracle is selling stock, taking on debt and relying on customer prepayments, while Microsoft draws on its deep cash pool. Oracle's revenue grew 29.6% to $19.34 billion, led by cloud infrastructure up 121% to $7.39 billion, while Microsoft's revenue rose 17.8% to $90.01 billion. Oracle's disruptor case rests on running its database inside rival clouds and on more than $30 billion of new AI contracts, mostly prepay or bring-your-own-hardware deals. Interest expense rose 55% to $1.4 billion and full-year capex is expected at $90 to $95 billion, with management giving no timeline for positive free cash flow. Over six months, Oracle stock fell 28.22% while Microsoft rose 26.16%.

- Treasury's Bessent sees crypto as America's next tool for keeping the U.S. dollar on top
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking at Ripple's Swell conference, argued that digital assets could reinforce the dollar's global dominance as technological leadership becomes a bigger source of economic influence alongside military strength. He said Treasury could work with the SEC and CFTC to clarify crypto rules after Congress failed to pass the Clarity Act, and set guardrails against banks cutting off crypto businesses. Bessent noted that the GENIUS Act established federal stablecoin rules, that more than 90% of stablecoins are backed by U.S. dollars, and that issuers often hold U.S. government securities as reserves, which could become an important source of funding for the Treasury.
- Amazon has a Muse problem. Is a deal with OpenAI a solution?
Laura Martin of Needham & Company said Amazon's move to block Meta's Muse shopping agent from its site is a typical defense by an incumbent, since roughly 85% of e-commerce is done on Amazon's website. She suggested Amazon consider a joint venture with OpenAI, owned 50/50, giving OpenAI access to Amazon for purchases while Amazon handles fulfillment, and said Amazon could work with several consumer AI agents rather than only one. Needham rates Meta 'hold', and Martin argued Meta moved first because other AI companies are compute constrained and have no revenue from consumer agents, so they are not yet pursuing the business.
- Why Royal Caribbean Stock Climbed Today
Royal Caribbean shares rallied Tuesday after the cruise operator reported higher-than-expected profit and raised its full-year earnings forecast. Third-quarter revenue rose 9% year over year to $5.6 billion. Adjusted net income climbed 12% to $1.8 billion, or $6.57 per share, beating analysts' estimate of $6.38. The company now expects full-year adjusted EPS of $17.85 to $17.95, up from $17.73 to $17.87. In September it agreed to acquire a 50% stake in Sandals and Beaches Resorts, giving access to 18 Caribbean resorts with more under construction. CEO Jason Liberty said 2027 bookings are pacing ahead of historical levels at higher rates.
- Warren Buffett's Successor, Greg Abel, Has $114.4 Billion Invested in These 3 Tech Stocks. None Is a Pure-Play Artificial Intelligence (AI) Company.
Berkshire Hathaway is entering a new chapter after Warren Buffett stepped down as CEO at the end of 2025, with successor Greg Abel reshaping the portfolio. Apple, Alphabet and Bending Spoons together represent about $114.4 billion, or 31.4%, of Berkshire's estimated $364 billion portfolio. None is a pure-play AI company, but each business model could become more valuable as AI adoption accelerates. Berkshire cut its Apple stake heavily in 2024 and 2025 before stabilizing at 227.9 million shares worth $79.1 billion, according to its second-quarter 13F filing. Its Alphabet stake grew to about 106 million shares worth $33.8 billion, while Google Cloud revenue rose 82% year over year to $24.8 billion in the second quarter.
- Goldman Sachs Sees Investors De-Risking From AI Stocks. At 63, She Finds the Same Crowded Trade Inside Her $900,000 401(k)
Goldman Sachs said investors are de-risking from a crowded trade in AI, semiconductor and hyperscaler stocks, citing rising capital costs, power constraints and more competition, and that last week saw the largest tech selling ever recorded in its prime brokerage book. Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) is down about 4% over the past month but still up about 16% this year. The article uses a hypothetical 63-year-old with $900,000 across three 401(k) funds that share top holdings such as NVIDIA, Apple and Microsoft: if 40% of her balance ($360,000) tied to AI falls 25%, she loses about $90,000, leaving $810,000. Because she is nearing retirement, it argues the real risk is how much of the account depends on the same stocks, and suggests mapping overlapping holdings, matching exposure to withdrawals over the next three to five years, and rebalancing to a pre-set target.
