Oracle Corporation's stock dropped over 7% to $290.28 on October 17, 2025, despite announcing a significant cloud computing partnership with Meta. The decline from $313.00 reflects investor concerns about Oracle's ability to achieve its ambitious financial targets amid high capital expenditures and short-term earnings pressures. Analysts highlighted that Oracle's earnings per share projections for fiscal 2026 and 2027 fell short of expectations, with the company anticipated to experience negative free cash flow over the next three years. While Oracle's long-term revenue and EPS guidance remains positive, concerns over valuation and execution risks have overshadowed these developments.
