Oracle drops 6% to 52-week low, extending 28% monthly decline

Oracle Corp. fell 6% to $132.27 on Monday, touching a fresh 52-week low and extending a 28% monthly decline that has erased more than half the software company's market value from its 2025 peak.

"The selloff reflects a reassessment of enterprise software valuations as macro uncertainty weighs on corporate technology budgets," said Sarah Lin, equity analyst at Edgen. "Oracle's cloud transition was priced for perfection, and any sign of slowing momentum gets punished."

The stock traded as low as $132.27, breaching the prior floor of $134.10 set in April. At $133.40 in afternoon trading, Oracle was on track for its lowest close since April 23, 2025, when it settled at $131.40, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The two-day decline of 7.5% was the steepest since late June. ORCL ranked as the fifth most active stock in the S&P 500 by trading volume.

The selloff has wiped out roughly $240 billion in market value from Oracle's September 2025 all-time closing high of $328.33, when the company was valued near $900 billion. The stock is now down 31.6% year-to-date and 41.8% from 52 weeks ago. Oracle, a $404 billion company with 140,000 employees, has increased its dividend for 17 consecutive years, though the 12.8% annual dividend growth rate offers limited support against the current drawdown.

The decline comes as investors scrutinize the pace of Oracle's cloud infrastructure expansion and its ability to convert AI workloads into revenue growth. The company's remaining performance obligations, a key forward-looking metric, will be in focus when Oracle reports fiscal first-quarter results. A sustained break below $132 could trigger additional selling from stop-loss orders and institutional rebalancing, traders said. The broader S&P 500 information technology sector has also faced pressure, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite down 12% from its 2026 peak, compounding headwinds for Oracle as one of the index's largest constituents.
