Why Is Oracle Stock Down Today?
Oracle spent $23.7 billion more cash than it brought in last fiscal year and borrowed $43 billion to cover the gap. That's a fine trade when money is cheap. It's a worse one with the 30-year Treasury yield near a 20-year high and long bonds selling off from Tokyo to London.
Overview
Oracle Corp (NYSE: ORCL) stock is falling today, down 5.4% as of 1:52 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026, as bond yields continue to rise, which could have serious consequences for the debt-laden tech giant.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite are both down, sliding 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively.
As U.S. 30-year treasury yields hover near 20-year highs, major bond markets around the world are setting their own records. In Japan, 10-year notes hit their highest level since 1996, while in the U.K., yields on the 30-year Gilt set a near 30-year record.
