Oracle Corporation (ORCL) saw its stock price surge 5.01% in Wednesday's trading session following news of a significant expansion in its cloud services partnership with OpenAI. This latest development underscores Oracle's growing presence in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure market.
According to reports from Bloomberg, OpenAI has agreed to rent an additional 4.5 gigawatts of data center capacity from Oracle. This expansion is part of the ambitious Stargate initiative, a joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank Group, which aims to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure across the United States over the next four years.
The deal aligns with Oracle's recent disclosure of a major cloud services agreement expected to contribute more than $30 billion in annual revenue starting in fiscal year 2028. While Oracle did not explicitly name the client, analysts from D.A. Davidson suggest that the customer is likely to be either ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, or OpenAI.
This latest partnership expansion not only validates Oracle's strategic investments in AI and cloud infrastructure but also positions the company as a key player in the rapidly growing AI market. The substantial increase in data center capacity suggests a significant scaling up of AI operations, which could lead to long-term revenue growth for Oracle.
