The Daily Dig:
Oracle has disclosed plans to raise between $45 billion and $50 billion in gross proceeds during calendar year 2026 through a structured mix of debt and equity. The plan was announced directly by the company and approved by Oracle's board, outlining a single-year financing framework rather than incremental raises.
According to Oracle, the capital will be used to fund expansion of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) capacity to meet contracted customer demand. The company expects to complete one investment-grade senior unsecured bond issuance early in 2026 and does not anticipate additional bond offerings that year, with the remainder of funding coming from equity and equity-linked instruments.

TheJobWalk Thoughts:
This isn't a shot in the dark. Oracle has actually mapped out where the money comes from and when it lands, which tells you there's real capacity pressure building behind the scenes. One bond deal, a big lean into equity, and sign-off from the board, that all adds up to pretty disciplined planning. It's tied to demand they've already locked in, not just a hunch. For anyone on the construction side, that kind of setup usually means steady, long-term data center work rather than a handful of one off projects. These are the jobs where owners want partners who can grow with them and stay in step over the long haul.
