Oracle expects to generate $30 billion in free cash flow by the fiscal year ending May 2029, chief financial officer Hilary Maxson said at its investor day in Las Vegas. The forecast beat Wall Street expectations, which had pointed to deeply negative cash flow. Oracle shares rose about 11%, their best day since May. The company expects to return to positive cash flow by late fiscal 2028. It will cap additional funding through fiscal 2030 at $20 billion, split evenly between equity and debt. Oracle also reaffirmed a target of $225 billion in revenue by fiscal 2030. It plans to add seven gigawatts of data centre capacity over the next couple of years, taking its total beyond 10 gigawatts by the end of fiscal 2028. Cash flow was negative $23.7 billion in the year to May 2026. The stock is still down about 26% this year.
