Oracle shares soar as AI cloud demand propels revenue forecast
FILE PHOTO: A screen displays the logo and trading information for Oracle Corporation on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City, U.S., March 30, 2023. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo (Reuters) -Oracle shares surged nearly 8% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company raised its annual revenue forecast, driven by strong demand for its AI-related cloud services. The stock has risen nearly 6% so far this year as confidence in the software sector remained strong despite geopolitical tensions, even as analysts warn that U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs could undermine Big Tech's AI investments. Earlier this year, Oracle, whose cloud offerings help companies build their AI infrastructure, announced a joint venture called Stargate to deliver large-scale computing capabilities to OpenAI. "Oracle's once-stodgy image levels up to 'cloud-native mage,' and the competitive map now looks less like a classic three-player real time strategy and more like a battle-royale with everyone dropping in, looking for compute loot", said Michael Ashley Schulman, partner at Running Point Capital Advisors. Oracle expects total revenue to be at least $67 billion for fiscal 2026, CEO Safra Catz said on a post-earnings call. The Texas-based company's cloud services quarterly revenue rose 14% to $11.70 billion. Its overall revenue of $15.90 billion beat estimates of $15.59 least nine brokerages have raised their price target post-earnings. Oracle trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 25.86, compared to rivals Microsoft at 31.34 and Amazon at 31.80, according to data compiled by LSEG. Microsoft's stock has gained 12.16%, while Amazon's has decreased by 2.8% so far this year. "ORCL has entered an entirely new wave of enterprise popularity that it has not seen since the Internet era in the late 90s," analysts at Piper Sandler added.

OpenAI has discussed raising money from Saudi Arabia, Indian investors
NEW YORK: ChatGPT maker OpenAI has talked to Saudi's PIF, India's Reliance Industries and existing shareholder United Arab Emirates' MGX about its US$40 billion financing, The Information reported on Wednesday. The investors could put in at least hundreds of millions of dollars each, the report said, citing people familiar with the fundraise. OpenAI is looking to raise more funds to fuel its model development and ambitious infrastructure plan Stargate, with the financing led by SoftBank. Earlier this year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman met with India's IT Minister and discussed India's plan of creating a low-cost AI ecosystem, after which Altman also had plans to visit UAE to discuss raising funds with Abu Dhabi investment group MGX, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The Microsoft-backed startup has also discussed raising at least US$100 million each from Coatue and Founders Fund as part of the fundraise, The Information report said, adding that the company also expects to raise an additional US$17 billion in 2027. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.

Excitement and anxiety: where Malaysia stands on AI
Malaysians are generally excited about artificial intelligence, placing our country third among the 30 nations surveyed by Ipsos. (Envato Elements pic) KUALA LUMPUR : According to a new survey, Malaysia is one of the most AI-excited countries in the world – but also among the most nervous. The Ipsos AI Monitor 2025 reveals 77% of Malaysians say artificial intelligence makes them excited, with enthusiasm specifically shown for its deployment in products and services. This positive reaction places Malaysians third among the 30 countries surveyed by Ipsos, involving 23,216 adult respondents. At the same time, 55% of Malaysians say AI makes them nervous, slightly higher than the global average of 53%. This emotional split reflects what Ipsos calls the 'wonder and worry of AI' – a paradox where optimism and anxiety coexist in public sentiment. 'For years, in the Ipsos Global AI monitor, we have seen a similar tension related to this specific set of technologies: people are excited about the advances in artificial intelligence, but they are also nervous about the changes those advances could bring,' said Ipsos senior vice-president Matt Carmichael. This duality is echoed in other reports. Microsoft and LinkedIn's 2024 Work Trend Index Report reveals that 84% of Malaysian knowledge workers are already using AI at work, surpassing the global average of 75%. Despite this, 83% of Malaysian employees are bringing their own AI tools to work, indicating a proactive approach by the workforce in the absence of a coherent AI strategy from their organisations, the report highlights. National efforts Malaysia's case of 'wonder and worry' may stem from strong national ambitions for AI, coupled with a growing public awareness of its risks. The government has openly embraced AI as part of the country's national development, with the National Artificial Intelligence Roadmap 2021-2025, launched in 2022, outlining strategic goals for integrating AI across sectors like agriculture and forestry, healthcare, smart cities and transportation, education, and public service. More recently, the AI Talent Roadmap 2024-2033 – launched by the science, technology and innovation ministry (Mosti) in collaboration with the ministry of higher education – aims to ensure Malaysia develops a steady pipeline of high-quality AI graduates over the next decade. In September, Mosti also released the National Guidelines on AI Governance and Ethics to support the responsible and ethical development and use of the technology. The government also officially established the National Artificial Intelligence Office late last year, tasked with helping Malaysia transition from an AI consumer to producer. With these pushes for adoption and public engagement, it's no surprise that Malaysians largely view artificial intelligence positively. The Ipsos report suggests that faith in institutions may be reinforcing this confidence: 73% of Malaysians say they trust the government to regulate AI responsibly – well above levels in countries like Australia (46%) and the United States (31%).
