Oracle Stock Crushes Market Monday: Here’s Why It Dominated

Oracle just left the entire market in the dust—and Wall Street's scrambling to catch up.

What fueled the surge?

Strong earnings, bullish guidance, and a cloud business firing on all cylinders. No fluff—just numbers that made traders hit 'buy.'

Oracle didn't just beat expectations—it bulldozed them. While legacy tech plays stumble, Oracle's execution stays razor-sharp.

Another quarter, another reminder: sometimes the boring picks print more than the hype stocks.

Deal over TikTok announced

That morning, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that the two nations had agreed on a framework for a deal on TikTok. He added that a meeting to finalize its terms is to be held this coming Friday between President TRUMP and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping.

Trump himself alluded to this without naming the subject of the arrangement, but it was widely interpreted to be TikTok. In a post on his Truth Social site, he wrote that "A deal was also reached on a 'certain' company that young people in our country very much wanted to save. They will be very happy!"

The President provided no further details of the mentioned arrangement.

Already a business partner of TikTok's developer

A law passed in 2024 banned TikTok from the U.S. market -- due to its perceived harmful influence on young people -- unless its Chinese owner ByteDance divests its American operations. However, the government has effectively granted ByteDance a reprieve on three separate occasions.

Oracle provides cloud computing services for ByteDance, and its name has been floated as a potential buyer of the Asian company's operations in this country.
