Latest News About Seven-session loss for Oracle, AI backlog climbs $638bn

Oracle shares slipped for a seventh consecutive session on Monday, even as the company's AI backlog buildout hit $638 billion, despite strong market optimism.

The decline marks the stock's longest losing streak since 2021, a unusual slide for the tech giant.

Analysts at Barron's suggest investors to buy, viewing the slump as a buying opportunity, and they note the potential upside from AI contracts.

But Bloomberg warned that Oracle's heavy spending on AI data centers may not pay off, saying the costs could outweigh short-term gains.

Piper Sandler kept its rating on the stock, pointing to increase in AI capacity, and referenced rising demand for cloud services.

The company has not commented on the analyst split, leaving investors in the dark about the next move.
