Oracle stock surges: Hits record high on $30 billion cloud deal; revenue to flow from FY28
Oracle Corp's stock soared 4% on Monday to a record $218.63 after a regulatory filing revealed a major cloud computing agreement that could add more than $30 billion in annual revenue beginning fiscal 2028.
The deal, which was disclosed ahead of a company-wide meeting, marks a significant milestone in Oracle's pivot to AI infrastructure and cloud services.
CEO Safra Catz, in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, said Oracle is 'off to a strong start in FY26,' adding, 'Our MultiCloud database revenue continues to grow at over 100%, and we signed multiple large cloud services agreements including one that is expected to contribute more than $30 billion in annual revenue starting in FY28,' reported CNBC.
Oracle did not name the customer, but speculation is high that it may be tied to OpenAI and SoftBank's $500 billion Stargate project, which aims to create a vast global network of AI data centres.
Founder Larry Ellison had earlier hinted in March that Oracle expected to finalise a deal with Stargate 'fairly soon.'
The $30 billion figure is nearly triple the $10.3 billion Oracle generated from its data centre operations in FY25, reported Financial Times.

The deal won't impact Oracle's FY26 guidance, but it cements its growing clout in the cloud and AI sectors. Analysts believe the revenue surge reflects long-term demand for computing infrastructure amid supply constraints at competitors like Microsoft.
As per Financial Times, Oracle is spending around $40 billion on Nvidia's high-performance chips to power new data centres for OpenAI in Abilene, Texas. Although Stargate is 'still in formation,' Catz told investors that the company had already booked some revenue from OpenAI, with more coming from other contracts.
Oracle's stock has jumped over 33% in 2024, buoyed by strong earnings, cloud expansion, and strategic AI tie-ups. These include a recent partnership with IBM and the Stargate venture. Earlier this year, Oracle also inked a cloud services deal with Chinese e-commerce giant Temu, adding further weight to its global ambitions.
Having been slow to enter the cloud computing market, Oracle now finds itself among the top beneficiaries of surging demand for AI processing power.
With this blockbuster cloud deal, the Austin-based tech giant appears well-positioned to capitalise on the next wave of digital transformation.

Space burial ends in tragedy: Capsule with ashes of 166 people crashes into Pacific Ocean
A unique space capsule, which was carrying the ashes of 166 people, ended up at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean after orbiting around the Earth. A German startup launched the Nyx capsule on "Mission Possible", carrying the remains of 166 people who wanted to be buried in space along with cannabis seeds. A German startup launched the Nyx capsule on "Mission Possible", carrying the remains of 166 people.(The Exploration Company) However, the capsule completed two orbits after it was launched on June 23 and then plummeted to Earth, dropping into the Pacific Ocean. The Exploration Company (TEC) which created the capsule said that Mission Possible was a "partial success" "Our spacecraft Mission Possible achieved partial success (partial failure). The capsule was launched successfully, powered the payloads nominally in orbit, stabilised itself after separation from the launcher, re-entered and re-established communication after blackout," it said in a LinkedIn post. Take a look at the full post here: However, it said that when the capsule returned to Earth's orbit, it 'lost communication' with the company for 'a few minutes before splash down." The startup said that it was still investigating the "root causes" of the sudden crash and will share more information soon. It did, however, apologise to their clients who trusted them with the remains of their loved ones. "We apologize to all our clients who entrusted us with their payloads. We thank our teams for their hard work and their dedication to success. We have been pushing boundaries in record time and cost. This partial success reflects both ambition and the inherent risks of innovation. Leveraging the technical milestones achieved yesterday and the lessons we will extract from our ongoing investigation, we will then prepare to re-fly as soon as possible," it wrote. The Texas-based space burial company Celestis, which was also part of the mission, stated that they will not be able to recover or return the flight capsules or ashes aboard. "We also recognise that no technical achievement replaces the profound personal meaning this service holds for our families,' Celestis co-founder and CEO Charles M Chafer said.

Bengaluru techie's brother joins Google like him. ‘Super proud' sibling moment melts the internet
In a world where landing a job at Google is considered a dream come true for many, two Indian brothers just turned that dream into a shared family milestone. Software engineer Priyansh Agarwal, who works at Google's Bengaluru office , recently took to social media to celebrate his younger brother Priyam Agarwal's new beginning at the same tech giant . The emotional exchange between the siblings has captured the hearts of thousands online—and for good reason. A Screenshot of a Dream It all began when Delhi-based Priyam posted a screenshot of his Google onboarding portal on July 5, revealing that he was just days away from starting his new role as a software engineer. 'Less than 10 days before I start a new journey. Super excited and a little nervous,' he captioned the post on X (formerly Twitter). The image showed the countdown ticking down to his first day at one of the most competitive and sought-after workplaces in the tech world. But the post didn't just mark the beginning of Priyam's journey. It also sparked an emotional reaction from his elder brother, Priyansh, who reposted the announcement with pride swelling through every word. 'Younger brother coming to Google as well. Super proud of him,' he wrote, showing the world not just professional pride, but the quiet joy of witnessing a sibling's success. — Priyansh_31Dec (@Priyansh_31Dec) Sibling Goals, Delivered It didn't take long for Priyam to respond to his brother's public shoutout, and his words melted many hearts online. 'The elder brother everyone wishes they had. Always had my back,' he wrote in the comments, sparking a wave of admiration across the platform. The bond between the two brothers resonated with countless users. While some simply extended their congratulations, others expressed how deeply the moment moved them. One user wrote, 'Do bhai bhai dono tabahi,' highlighting the duo's power-packed potential, while another cheered, 'Ohh lesssgooo! This is amazing! God bless.'

With a notoriously selective hiring process and rigorous interviews, the probability of two siblings making it into the company independently is extraordinary. But the Agarwal brothers have shown that with determination, mutual support, and a shared vision, even the most ambitious goals can be achieved—together.

China-EU trade row: Beijing bans European firms from major medical bids; says Brussels must end ‘discriminatory' practices
Representative image China on Sunday imposed a retaliatory ban on European companies bidding for large-scale medical equipment contracts, intensifying a simmering trade dispute with the European Union. The move comes just days after the EU restricted Chinese firms from participating in government medical device procurements over €5 million, citing Beijing's long-standing exclusion of European products from its public tenders. According to a statement by China's finance ministry, EU-based firms, excluding those with established European capital operating within China, will now be barred from participating in Chinese public procurement orders exceeding 45 million yuan ($6.3 million), reported AFP . The ban covers an extensive range of products, including surgical instruments, medical machinery, and prosthetics. Additionally, Beijing has stipulated that for tenders involving non-European firms, the proportion of EU-origin products in their bids cannot exceed 50 per cent. This marks the latest salvo in escalating trade tensions between the two economic powers. While Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi made diplomatic visits to EU headquarters, France, and Germany last week to ease frictions, longstanding issues persist, notably the $357.1 billion trade deficit between the EU and China. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo The European Commission's earlier restrictions on Chinese firms were justified as a response to what it described as 'exclusionary and discriminatory measures' imposed by Beijing. Brussels claimed that nearly 90 per cent of medical procurement contracts in China systematically excluded EU products. China, in turn, criticised the EU's move as a demonstration of 'double standards' and insisted that it had expressed willingness to resolve disputes through dialogue. 'China has repeatedly expressed, through bilateral dialogue, its willingness to resolve these disputes appropriately,' the commerce ministry said. This escalation follows recent frictions over electric vehicles and alcohol imports. On Saturday, Beijing began enforcing anti-dumping tariffs of up to 34.9 per cent on European brandy, mostly affecting French cognac makers, citing unfair pricing practices. Companies like Jas Hennessy, Remy Martin, and Martell face steep levies unless they adhere to agreed minimum price levels. French President Emmanuel Macron described China's partial exemption of some firms as a 'positive step,' though French foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned that 'several major issues remain unresolved,' particularly the exclusion of certain producers from the exemptions. The European Commission, however, continues to oppose Beijing's actions, with trade spokesman Olof Gill stating, 'We believe that China's measures are unfair... unjustified... and inconsistent with international rules.' The disputes over EVs, medical devices, and now brandy underscore a broader conflict around industrial subsidies and market access. China has maintained that its actions are a legitimate response to EU protectionism and has lodged complaints with the World Trade Organisation. With a China-EU summit scheduled for later this month to mark 50 years of diplomatic relations, hopes for resolution remain. However, Beijing may cancel the second day of the summit, as per Bloomberg. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays . AI Masterclass for Students.
