As is the case with the other hyperscalers, including Alphabet and Meta, Oracle’s capital expenditures are soaring as it races to build more data centers and infrastructure for AI. Last May, Oracle’s free cash flow turned negative by $394 million after the company’s operating cash flow of $20.8 billion was overtaken by its capex of $21.2 billion. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2025, Oracle’s capex jumped from $6.9 billion to $21.2 billion and last quarter Oracle guided its capex would be $50 billion this fiscal year. Meanwhile, its operating cash flow grew from $18.7 billion in fiscal 2024 to $20.8 billion in fiscal 2025 and analysts estimate it’s on track to reach $22.3 billion this year. The company has said it expects the negative free cash flow trend to continue as it pursues its AI ambitions.
And then the second area where we’ve done it is what we call CEO initiatives. We take high-performing people out of our business units, out of a traditional global play lead role, and we give them an assignment for six to nine months and say, “Hey, go run after this.” And we keep their job on the side, and they can go back to it at any time. We recognize that probably 9 out of 10 times, those things aren’t going to yield fruit, but it’s a fun stretch assignment for a high performer, a high-potential person, and sometimes, it yields something fun. So that’s a relatively recent thing that we’ve been doing over the last two years. You’re probably going to see the first fruits of those probably within the next six months. We’ll do our first announcement of those, and I think you’ll think it’s pretty cool.
