You'd Invested $10,000 in Oracle a Year Ago, Here's What It Would Be Worth Today

If you bought $10,000 of Oracle (ORCL) a year ago, the position would be worth about $6,300 today, dividends included. The stock closed at $248.28 on Aug. 15, 2025, and is trading around $154 as of the article’s writing, roughly 38% lower. The article notes extreme swings: within a month, the stake briefly topped almost $14,000, then fell to about $4,600 by late July. The steep drop followed a late Sept. 9 shift in expectations after Oracle’s fiscal 2026 first-quarter results, driven by a surge in remaining performance obligations.
