- Oracle Just Dropped 14% in a Week. Is It Time to Sell, or Load Up?
Oracle (ORCL) shares fell 14% over the past week after the company sold $20 billion of stock and bonds it had promised, while AI stocks sold off following Amazon's results. Oracle sold 86.2 million shares at $116 and $10 billion of notes at 7% to 8.65%, a burden the author considers manageable. At 14x forward earnings, well below its 21x five-year average, Oracle targets over $30 billion of free cash flow in fiscal 2029, more than twice the consensus. The author favors adding to positions rather than selling, while noting that the December second-quarter report will be the first real check on the cash plan.
- Gold extends rally above $4,100 as dollar, Treasury yields fall after U.S. vote
Gold held above $4,100 an ounce on Thursday after a Democratic sweep of the U.S. midterm elections pushed the dollar and Treasury yields lower, while Trump downplayed the prospect of renewed strikes on Iran. Spot gold rose 1.8% to $4,132.36 an ounce, silver gained 2.1% to $53.3400, and the U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.3% to 101.31. ANZ analysts said U.S. bonds benefited from expectations that the new political balance would constrain Trump's proposed tax cuts and spending plans, but warned that weaker government borrowing could erode a key support for gold. Oil stayed sharply lower after Brent fell below $100 a barrel on Wednesday. Gold is still more than 20% below its levels before the U.S.-Iran war broke out in late February, and investors are now watching Friday's U.S. nonfarm payrolls report.
