CNBC, the Financial Times and MarketWatch report that Oracle shares rose about 12 to 13 percent on Wednesday, October 28, after the software company issued a revenue forecast of $225 billion for fiscal 2030. According to the outlets, the forecast implies average annual growth of about 35 percent. Oracle said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it will limit additional fundraising for fiscal 2027 through 2030 to $20 billion, split equally between equity and debt. According to the Financial Times, the company also projects $30 billion in free cash flow by 2029. Analysts polled by LSEG had projected fiscal 2030 revenue of $224.2 billion. The outlets say Oracle shares had fallen about one-third this year over concerns about its debt load and rising interest rates.
