Catenaa, Wednesday, September 24, 2025- Oracle is looking to raise $15 billion in corporate bond sales, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday, as it looks to invest heavily in building out cloud infrastructure to cater to burgeoning AI demand.
The software maker plans to sell debt in up to seven parts, including a rare 40-year bond. Initial price discussions for the 40-year portion are around 1.65 percentage points above similarly dated Treasuries, the report said.
Oracle, whose shares slipped over 3% on Wednesday morning following the news. The stock is up by over 83% so far this year.
The development comes as Oracle ramps up spending to deliver cloud infrastructure contracts with the likes of OpenAI, deals that are expected to significantly lift its capital expenditures.
Proceeds from the bond sales could be used for general corporate purposes, which may include stock repurchases, repayment of debt, and acquisitions, the company said.
Oracle had about $95 billion of long-term debt outstanding at the end of August, according to a securities filing.
Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Robert Schiffman and Alex Reid wrote that with its debt deal on Wednesday, a measure of Oracle’s leverage relative to its earnings may climb, though it should still be able to maintain its high-grade ratings.
When the firm last sold around $8 billion of debt in January, it attracted $35 billion of orders, a sign of the strong demand it’s likely to see from investors on Wednesday.
