Oracle Expands Bloom Energy Deal, Secures Stock Warrant
Oracle expanded a capacity partnership with Bloom Energy as its stock rallied in a broader software rebound. Days after receiving a $400 million warrant tied to Bloom, Oracle said it expects to procure up to 2.8 gigawatts of Bloom fuel-cell systems (including a 1.2 GW contract it plans to complete by 2027). The market responded: CNBC reported Bloom shares soared ~20% and Oracle climbed 5% on Tuesday after a nearly 13% gain the prior session. Oracle has raised over $100 billion in debt to fund data-center scaling for its AI buildout and remains a key technology partner on the Stargate project. The warrant reportedly lets Oracle buy up to 3.53 million Bloom shares at $113.28 per share, with an exercise window through Oct. 9.
Large cloud provider (Oracle) expanding on-site fuel-cell capacity for AI data centers signals growing demand for alternative energy and resilience in data-center infrastructure; it also reflects corporate financing and strategic investments that can influence data-center supply chains and energy providers.

Bloom Energy Shares Surge; Emerges as Meme Stock Contender
Bloom Energy shares jumped about 22% on April 29, 2026 after the fuel-cell company reported a first-quarter earnings beat, with earnings, revenue and adjusted EBITDA topping analyst estimates. The company raised its full-year earnings guidance and updated its operating income forecast for the current quarter. The rally followed recent news that Oracle struck a deal with Bloom Energy for AI data-center capacity and received a warrant to purchase $400 million of Bloom Energy stock; Oracle expects to procure up to 2.8 gigawatts of Bloom systems. The stock has rallied strongly year-to-date and in 2025, prompting Wall Street and some traders to label Bloom a potential new “meme” stock despite valuation concerns (about 102x forward earnings per FactSet). Analysts from Mizuho, Barclays and BTIG published bullish commentary and price targets following the results.
Oracle Soars 9% on Strong Earnings and AI Partnerships
CNBC's Morning Squawk roundup covers market-moving headlines before the U.S. open. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright posted and then deleted an inaccurate X claim that the U.S. Navy had escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz; officials corrected the record and oil prices swung sharply. Oracle beat quarterly estimates, raised FY2027 guidance, reported cloud revenue up 44% to $8.9 billion and remaining performance obligations above $550 billion, and CEO Clay Magouyrk named Cerebras alongside Nvidia and AMD as AI-hardware partners.

Oracle Beats Estimates, Shares Fall on Financing Plan
Oracle reported quarterly results that beat Wall Street expectations but saw its shares fall after announcing large financing plans. The company posted revenue of $19.18 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $2.11, both slightly above analysts’ averages. Oracle said it plans to raise nearly $40 billion in fiscal 2027 through a mix of debt and equity, including a previously announced $20 billion share offering, stoking investor concern about rising leverage. Cloud infrastructure revenue, driven largely by AI data-center demand, rose to $5.8 billion (up 93% year-over-year). Oracle also reported that outstanding performance obligations increased 15.4% to $638 billion. Market reaction reflected investor anxiety about heavy capital needs for AI capacity expansion despite the beat on core metrics.
