Why Is Oracle (ORCL) Stock Up Today? 243% AI Surge and $29B Contract Wins Spark 9.2% Rally
Oracle Corp (ORCL) closed the session on March 11, 2026, with a massive 9.18% gain, ending at $163.12. The rally marks a critical turning point for the software giant, which had been down roughly 15% year-to-date prior to this move. Investors flooded back into the stock following a fiscal Q3 earnings report that not only beat expectations but also addressed the market’s primary fear: that Oracle’s aggressive AI build-out would bury the company in debt.
