Oracle ended the fiscal second quarter with $19.8 billion in cash and marketable securities and $108.1 billion in notes payable and other borrowings. For the six months ended November 30, cash flow from operations was $10.2 billion, while capital expenditures were $20.5 billion, resulting in meaningfully negative free cash flow. For the tailing twelve months ended in the second quarter of fiscal 2026, cash flow from operations was $22.3 billion, while capital expenditures were $35.5 billion, resulting in negative free cash flow of $13.2 billion. On the call, management noted that its fiscal 2026 revenue expectations of $67 billion remains unchanged, but that capital spending will be about $15 billion higher than it forecasted at the end of the first quarter. Since Oracle is now a net-debt heavy, free cash flow burning enterprise, we now view shares as a source of cash in the newsletter portfolios.
