Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Oracle ( ORCL ) started laying off employees on Tuesday to drive down costs to support its artificial intelligence infrastructure buildout, according to Business Insider . The number of employees being laid off is publicly unknown, but it appears to affect Oracle workers around the globe, the report said. Seeking Alpha reached out to Oracle, but a spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. Oracle sent out an email on Tuesday, which was obtained by Business Insider , to its affected employees. "We are sharing some difficult news regarding your position," the email read. "After careful consideration of Oracle's current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change. As a result, today is your last working day." Oracle had approximately 162,000 full-time employees as of May 31, 2025, according to its most recent 10-K filing . About 58,000 were employed in the U.S., and 104,000 were employed internationally. On a segment basis, Oracle had 29,000 in cloud services and license support operations; 31,000 in sales and marketing; 3,000 in hardware; 37,000 in services; 50,000 in research and development; and 12,000 in general and administrative. Many of these are long-term staffers, as the average tenure with the company at the time was eight years, with 30% of its workforce being there a decade or more. Tech Layoff Tracker posted on X that the layoffs will affect 18%, or 30,000, of Oracle's global workforce. During its third-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings report earlier this month, Oracle said it expects capital expenditures of $50B for the entirety of fiscal 2026. The company also expects its fiscal 2027 revenue to hit $90B. Oracle's share price has plummeted more than 50% since striking an all-time high of $328 in September 2025. Oracle is also involved in a deal to take control of TikTok's ( TIKTOK ) U .S. operations from Chinese parent ByteDance (BDNCE ) to a new American en...

Sundry Photography/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Like a lot of other semiconductor companies, Broadcom Inc. ( AVGO ) has greatly benefited from the ongoing AI revolution. In recent years, the company demonstrated strong financial results, experienced an increase of revenues in the AI segment and at the same time transformed its business through the VMware integration. As a result, Broadcom is viewed by the market as a unique company that benefits from the rising spending on AI and the ability to generate a stable cash flow. However, since our latest bearish coverage , Broadcom's price has dropped from $348 per share to $300 per share. What’s worse is that it now starts to face new challenges that can undermine its future growth and make its stock an unattractive investment. That is why we decided to stick with our Sell rating for the company. AI Has Its Own Upsides And Downsides Right now Broadcom is actively developing custom AI chips. They have already become one of the main drivers of the company’s growth. It has been actively engaged with hyperscalers who build their own AI infrastructures and need specialized solutions that Broadcom offers. As the demand for such solutions is growing rapidly, the money that hyperscalers are willing to spend are increasing while the entry barriers for others remain high. Although Broadcom has benefited from this, its business has one important feature, which is concentration. Unlike its diversified peers, Broadcom is heavily dependent on a limited number of large customers. This means that its ability to generate revenue is directly related to the capital spending plans of several major tech firms. If these companies continue to invest aggressively in AI, then Broadcom should not have issues with increasing its sales. However, if the pace of investments starts to slow down or budgets are revised, it will immediately put pressure on growth. And it is this dependence that makes business less predictable than the market is curr...

Dimensions/E+ via Getty Images Coherent ( COHR ) is one of those names that feels almost too obvious at first glance, and after recently covering Lumentum ( LITE ), it’s not a setup I can afford to ignore. The stock has already rerated significantly; there is too much optimism in AI stocks in general, and it is getting into a place where investors start confusing a strong trend in a business with a good entry point. That’s when I start getting worried. The more time I spend around Coherent, the less and less this looks like a simple momentum story and more and more like a company that has one of the strongest bottlenecks in AI networking. The Setup is Not Optics, It is InP What gives me hope is that Coherent is not just benefiting from the transceivers demand but is actually gaining more control of the layer that drives the demand. Coherent has been unusually clear about the importance of indium phosphide, and I think that clarity is justified; the shortage is no longer theoretical. Indeed, the datacenter bookings again accelerated in the latest print, with book-to-bill greater than 4x , most of 2026 already booked, 2027 booking rapidly, and customer forecasts going out to 2028. The 6-inch InP ramp is the core of this thesis. Anderson indicated Coherent is already at approximately 80% of its target wafer start rates to double its own internal InP supply by the end of 2026. In addition, six-inch wafers are capable of producing more than four times as many chips for less than half the cost of three-inch wafers. If this is true, Coherent is not only increasing supply. It is also structurally lowering its own costs. At the same time, its competitors are still trying to source adequate materials. This is a much better business than AI optics beneficiary. Revenue Quality Improving More Rapidly than the Market Knows I don’t like every aspect of Coherent’s portfolio. The industrial business is still relevant. However, Coherent is being re-evaluated via datacenter and commun...

Solar Stocks Surge As Energy Shock Revives Renewables Trade Goldman analyst Adam Wijaya asked clients whether this year's surge in SolarEdge, Enphase Energy, and other solar stocks is reviving a familiar trade: higher crude oil and natural gas prices in Europe and globally, strengthening the case for renewables as the energy shock sparks a return to coal switching . "Are we back to running the 2022 playbook? " Wijaya asked in a note published Monday. Wijaya said, " Certainly seems that way based on recent px action in residential solar ." "SEDG is +79% YTD vs ENPH +18% and RUN -32%... oil + gas prices moving higher in Europe/globally + coal switching coming into the equation begs the question 'do we start to see more renewables adoption in the EU given demand needs ?'". SolarEdge shares are up 64% year to date, broadly tracking Brent crude and the European natural gas benchmark. The logic behind the trade is that higher fossil fuel prices improve the economics of alternative energy. "As we start getting closer to midterm elections – some specialists asking questions around the 'blue playbook'… ie which single stocks could have leverage to a policy shift in Energy focused on solar/wind/renewables ." Potentially stronger demand for renewables comes as the Hormuz crisis forces countries to rethink energy security. With some power grid operators likely to switch to coal to keep the lights on , the shock is also reviving the conversation around adding more solar and wind to diversify grid mix.
