PANews, December 10th - Three months ago, Oracle (ORCL.N)'s strong earnings outlook propelled its stock to its best single-day performance in 30 years, but just one quarter later, the situation for the company and the entire AI sector is vastly different. Oracle will release its earnings report after the market closes, and its stock price has plummeted 33% since hitting an all-time high on September 10th. The AI company is facing a wave of skepticism due to massive capital expenditures and the circular nature of some partnerships. "They've almost stretched their balance sheets to the limit, have negative free cash flow, and extremely high leverage," said Jed Ellerbroek, portfolio manager at Argent Capital Management, which holds Oracle stock. Oracle's debt risk is particularly worrying for investors. In recent months, the company has issued tens of billions of dollars in bonds through direct debt issuance and indirectly supported projects. Last week, the cost of insurance against Oracle's debt default rose to its highest level since March 2009. Analysts say this uncertainty far outweighs any positive news its quarterly earnings report might bring.PANews, December 10th - Three months ago, Oracle (ORCL.N)'s strong earnings outlook propelled its stock to its best single-day performance in 30 years, but just one quarter later, the situation for the company and the entire AI sector is vastly different.

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

OPEN one-week stock price chart. Source: Finbold Assuming he invested a minimum of $1,001, the purchase would now be worth about $3,200, while a $15,000 stake would have grown to nearly $48,000, generating profits of roughly $2,200 and $33,000, respectively. OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit. Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.
