Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries and creating demand for scalable cloud infrastructure. Oracle reported fiscal 2026 Q1 revenue of $14.9 billion, up 12% year-over-year, and non-GAAP earnings of $1.47 per share, narrowly missing estimates after a one-time $958 million tax expense. Cloud revenue rose 28% to $7.2 billion while OCI surged 55% to $3.3 billion.
