On September 23, Oracle fell 3.18% in regular trading, trading at $144.55/share, with turnover of $2.183 billion.
On the news front, a leaked internal layoff document provided the clearest picture yet of how Oracle's latest workforce reduction is reshaping its critical cloud business. The document revealed that Oracle's Americas cloud infrastructure organization cut 546 employees, representing 7.6% of its 7,185-person workforce. Software developers accounted for approximately 17% of total layoffs, while the data center support services division was also significantly affected, with 41 positions eliminated including a vice president and two senior directors. Analysis of the documents further indicated that older, more experienced employees were disproportionately impacted. Oracle disclosed the information to comply with federal anti-age-discrimination laws.
The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring effort, with Oracle adding $700 million in restructuring charges to a total of $2.8 billion to fund AI infrastructure expansion. Meanwhile, options market activity showed bearish sentiment, with a notable 2,900-contract out-of-the-money call selling block worth $582,900, suggesting institutional investors see limited near-term upside.
