OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and MGX are joining forces to launch the largest AI initiative in US history. “The Stargate Project” officially received a green light from the White House, and it intends to invest $500 billion in building new artificial intelligence infrastructure in the U.S. over the next four years.

Stargate is a joint venture between the American tech giants OpenAI and Oracle, the Japanese investment holding company SoftBank, and the Emirati sovereign wealth fund MGX. In addition to OpenAI and Oracle, Arm, NVIDIA and Microsoft will also provide the technology for this project to go forward.

According to Open AI’s official statement, “this infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world,” in addition to “not only [supporting] the re-industrialization of the United States but also [providing] a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.”

Stargate is officially moving forward after receiving the green light from the newly-appointed president, Donald Trump, who described it as “the largest AI infrastructure project by far in history.” A first injection of $100 billion will start “immediately”, and the partners are planning to invest up to $500 billion over the next four years to build new data centers data and create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States.

Software giant Oracle saw its stock jump by more than 9% in after-hours trading on Monday after the company reported fiscal first-quarter earnings that beat the expectations of analysts.

Oracle saw $1.39 in adjusted earnings per share, compared to an estimated $1.32. The analysts also expected $13.23 billion in revenue for the quarter, while the company reported $13.31 billion, marking an 8% year-over-year increase. Its net income came at $2.93 billion compared to $2.42 billion in the same period last year.

Oracle’s biggest revenue generators were cloud services and license support business, which accounted for $10.52 billion of the total $13.31 billion in revenue.  

“As cloud services became Oracle’s largest business, both our operating income and earnings per share growth accelerated,” Oracle’s CEO Safra Catz said in a press release.

Besides strong 1Q earnings, Oracle also unveiled a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS). The partnership will allow AWS customers to access Oracle Autonomous Database and Oracle Exadata Database Service.

Oracle stock was down during trading hours on Monday, closing at $139.89 per share. But following the 1Q report and announcement of the Amazon partnership, the stock jumped by 9.55% and traded at $153.25 per share. This puts it on track to top its previous all-time high close of $145.03 per share from July.

J.P. Morgan believes Oracle Corp. stock is still a good bet as the company continues to expand its cloud business. In a note shared with clients earlier this week, analyst Mark Murphy kept its Buy rating on Oracle while setting a $93 per share target price.

According to Murphy, “Oracle’s view is that there is a long way to go in a growing [cloud computing] market.” The company also saw success in attracting a number of big-name clients, including social media platform TikTok, video-call giant Zoom, and Uber.

Murphy also liked that Oracle increased the number of external customers on Oracle Cloud. Compared to less than 50 percent in 2019, external customers now account for almost 70 percent. Additionally, Oracle is in the process of building eight new data centers to complement the 41 it already has.

Analysts have been optimistic about Oracle stock across the board. The consensus rating was Moderate Buy, while the target price settled at $97.19. There were some analysts with a more bullish outlook than this, with Cowen & Co. setting a $100.00 target price.

Oracle stock closed at $88.01 per share on Friday. This represents moderate growth in the past week and a 5 percent jump year-to-date.

Tech stocks Oracle Corporation and First Solar, Inc. all emerged as major winners during after-hours trading on Monday night.

Oracle gained 3% upon releasing its second-quarter financial results. The company reported a revenue of $12.28 billion; a year-over-year increase of 18%. This translates to adjusted earnings of $1.21 per share, thereby beating analysts’ estimates of $1.18 per share.

The company’s cloud unit was its strongest performer, generating $3.8 billion in revenue for the quarter. In addition, the company attributed much of its growth to its recent acquisition of healthcare IT firm Cerner.

“Since the acquisition, Cerner has contributed to Oracle’s growth—and Oracle has helped Cerner improve its technology,” Oracle CTO and chairman Larry Ellison stated in a press release.

Electric vehicle innovator Tesla plummeted further during the same period after losing more than 6% during Monday’s trading. As a result, the company’s shares closed at their lowest level since November 2020.

News of Tesla’s decision to cut production at its Shanghai plant served as a catalyst for its falling stock price, particularly since this decision came as a result of staggering demand.

Oracle Corporation saw its stock (ORCL) surge in extended trading on Monday after sharing positive fiscal fourth-quarter results that exceeded all expectations. ORCL traded at around $65 per share on Monday before closing at $71.86. It then saw a slight dip to around $70 on Tuesday morning.

Oracle reported revenue of $11.84 billion compared to the $11.66 billion predicted by analysts. This marked a five percent increase from the previous year. The company did even better to beat the earnings per share predictions. It posted $1.54 per share in contrast to the expected $1.37.

Much of Oracle’s performance was driven by its success in the cloud infrastructure sector. According to the tech giant, the Infrastructure Cloud Revenue is up by 36 percent, resulting in $2.9 billion in total cloud revenue. And the company believes this is only the beginning.

“We believe that this revenue growth spike indicates that our infrastructure business has now entered a hyper-growth phase,” said CEO Safra Catz.

ORCL reached its peak in December 2021, when it traded for $102.63 per share. However, just like many other tech stocks, it has lost much of its value since then. Its lowest point was in early July when it slid to $64.05.
