Goldman Sachs will lead the senior unsecured bond offering, while Citigroup will lead the at-the-market stock program and the mandatory convertible preferred share offering.
Earlier this month, bondholders sued Oracle, claiming they lost money because the company hid its plan to issue large amounts of debt to expand its AI infrastructure.
Oracle plans to raise about half of the funds by issuing equity, including mandatory convertible preferred shares and a new $20 billion at-the-market stock program.
Oracle expects to raise $45–$50 billion in 2026. The company plans to use a mix of debt and equity to meet this goal while keeping a strong investment-grade balance sheet.
Oracle plans to raise about half of its 2026 funding through equity, including an initial sale of mandatory convertible preferred shares and a new $20 billion at-the-market stock program. The company will issue shares under this program gradually, depending on market conditions, and its funding needs.
On the debt side, Oracle plans a single issuance of investment-grade senior unsecured bonds early in 2026 to cover the other half of its funding. The company does not expect to issue any more bonds that year.
