Why Oracle’s AI push is stealing the show

Oracle appears to have hit the jackpot. Artificial intelligence is emerging as the new gold in the stock markets. Any company with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) connection is experiencing the golden touch.

The most recent company to ride the AI wave is Oracle. Oracle’s stock surged more than 35% in a single day following the release of the company’s fiscal year 2026 first-quarter financial results, increasing the value of Oracle Chairman and CTO Larry Ellison’s shares to $380 billion. That is a one-day increase of $100 billion.
