# What's Going On With Oracle Stock Wednesday?

**Oracle Corp**. (NYSE:ORCL) shares are surging Wednesday morning. The gains follow news that the tech giant slashed roughly 18% of its global workforce.

Employees reportedly received termination emails at 6 a.m. Tuesday from “Oracle Leadership.” Access to systems was cut immediately without prior warning.

## Funding The AI Build-Out

The move signals a pivot toward infrastructure. **TD Cowen** estimates the cuts will free up $8 billion to $10 billion in cash flow. This capital will fund a projected $156 billion AI data center build-out. Oracle recently reported a 95% jump in net income to $6.13 billion.

## Managing Massive Backlogs

Oracle faces a staggering $553 billion in remaining performance obligations. This backlog rose 325% year-over-year. A $300 billion deal with **OpenAI** drove much of this growth.

The backlog is enormous. Whether it converts to revenue is the question Oracle has not answered. The Austin, Texas-based company has taken on $58 billion in new debt within two months, and multiple U.S. banks have reportedly pulled back from financing its data center projects.

## Broad Tech Sector Shifts

Oracle is not alone in its strategy. **Amazon.com Inc**. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and **Meta Platforms Inc**. (NASDAQ:META) have also announced significant cuts. Prediction markets on **Kalshi** show an 87% probability that 2026 tech layoffs will exceed 2025 levels.

## Technical Analysis

Oracle is trading 0.9% below its 20-day simple moving average (SMA) and 17.1% below its 100-day SMA, keeping the near-term rebound attempt boxed in by a still-bearish longer-term structure.

Shares are up 3.64% over the past 12 months, and the stock is positioned closer to its 52-week lows than highs after peaking at $345.72 and bottoming at $118.86.

RSI is at 45.25, which sits in neutral territory and suggests momentum is neither stretched nor washed out right now. MACD is at -3.7934, below its signal line at -3.1203, which keeps bearish pressure in place despite the premarket bid.

-   **Key Resistance**: $165.50
-   **Key Support**: $138.50

**ORCL Stock Price Activity:** Oracle shares were up 1.97% at $150.01 during premarket trading on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
