Oracle’s $2 per-share dividend has been raised for the 12th straight year, with quarterly payouts totaling about $579 million for CTO Larry Ellison. The company spent $55.7 billion on capex in fiscal 2026 and guides to roughly $70 billion of net cash outlay in 2027 plus $20–$25 billion partner-funded, pushing free cash flow to about negative $23.7 billion and prompting plans to raise $40–$50 billion via debt and equity, though payout coverage and coverage suggest support.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
