About Oracle
Oracle provides enterprise software, integrated cloud services, and database technologies to 97% of Fortune 500 companies. Its core business lines include Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Fusion and NetSuite SaaS applications, and industry-specific solutions such as Oracle Health.
Recent leadership changes were announced on September 22, 2025, with Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia appointed as Co-CEOs and Safra Catz transitioning to Executive Vice Chair.
What’s Being Investigated
Shamis & Gentile P.A. is reviewing allegations that Oracle may not have fully disclosed all accounting issues related to its cloud computing business and its AI-driven growth outlook.
The investigation focuses on whether Oracle’s reported remaining performance obligations (RPO) and the timing of revenue from major contracts, such as a purported $300 billion deal with OpenAI, were accurately presented to investors.
New questions have emerged in August and September 2025. These include questions about the substance and timing of Oracle’s reported $455 billion backlog and the OpenAI contract, as well as concerns about internal controls, C-suite turnover, and workforce reductions.
As a result, past allegations about cloud accounting practices and Oracle’s public statements about its AI-driven growth trajectory have resurfaced.
Key Timeline
- August 19, 2025: Reports surface of Oracle cloud-unit layoffs and the departure of Chief Security Officer Mary Ann Davidson after 37 years. Investors allege these events contradicted prior assurances that AI expansion would not impact security or staffing.
- September 9, 2025: Oracle announces Q1 FY2026 results, highlighting a $455 billion RPO and a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar contract pipeline, including a reported $300 billion OpenAI deal.

Oracle shares fall 6% amid media coverage raising doubts about the backlog’s substance and the company’s reliance on a single customer.
- September 22, 2025: Oracle announces leadership changes, with two new Co-CEOs and Safra Catz moving to Executive Vice Chair.
