Oracle Stock Surges 11% on $30 Billion Free Cash Flow Target for 2029

Oracle stock rises 11% as the company targets $30 billion in free cash flow by 2029 and plans additional funding for AI data centers.

Oracle shares surged 11% after the company outlined a target of generating $30 billion in free cash flow by 2029, according to information shared by Coin Bureau. The announcement comes as the technology company continues investing heavily in artificial intelligence data centers and faces questions about the funding required to complete its infrastructure expansion.

Oracle said it needs another $20 billion to finish its data center buildout, with the additional funding split evenly between stock and debt. That would mean raising $10 billion through equity and another $10 billion through borrowing, based on the figures reported by Coin Bureau.

Oracle Faces Pressure Over AI Infrastructure Spending

Oracle has been spending heavily on AI data centers, an investment effort that Coin Bureau described as a source of cash burn. The company's latest funding estimate indicates that it expects to require $20 billion more to complete the buildout, while targeting $30 billion in free cash flow by 2029.

The figures put Oracle's planned infrastructure spending and longer-term cash generation target at the center of the reported development. The company intends to divide the remaining funding requirement equally between stock and debt, rather than relying entirely on one financing method.

Stock Rebounds After a Difficult Year

The 11% gain followed a difficult period for Oracle shares. According to Coin Bureau, the stock had fallen 33% so far this year before the reported surge.

Oracle also faced a credit-rating setback in July, when S&P cut its rating to one notch above junk status, as described in the Coin Bureau post. The rating move and the company's spending on AI data centers provide important context for its latest funding plans.

Oracle's stated financial targets now include generating $30 billion in free cash flow by 2029 and securing another $20 billion, split evenly between stock and debt, to complete its data center expansion.
