On July 21, Oracle rose 3.03% in regular trading, trading at $125.18 per share, with turnover of $7.84 billion. The stock rebounded from consecutive sessions of decline after famed investor Michael Burry halved his Oracle short position and clarified rumors of a full exit, easing perceived short-side pressure.

The market interpreted Burry's reduction as a signal that bearish momentum may be fading, which combined with technical rebound demand following a prolonged selloff that saw the stock drop over 6% in the prior session. Despite the bounce, Oracle continues to face significant headwinds: Wisconsin's Public Service Commission refused to waive a $7 billion collateral requirement for Oracle's data center project, adding over $100 million in annual costs. Meanwhile, five-year credit default swaps on Oracle's debt widened to approximately 203 basis points, the highest level in nearly 18 years, reflecting persistent stress in the bond market amid concerns over the company's aggressive AI infrastructure spending and its BBB- credit rating just one notch above junk.
