Bloomberg Tech is live from coast to coast with Caroline Hyde in New York and Ed Lovelow in San Francisco.
This is Bloomberg Tech. Coming up, Oracle reports strong sales and issues an outlook that suggests little let up in demand for AI computing. We break down the results. Plus, Meta plans to deploy four new generations of its in-house AI chips by the end of 2027 to help power its rapidly expanding AI workloads. And Uber will let customers hail robo-taxis from Amazon Zoox, starting in Las Vegas this summer. We'll hear from both companies in an exclusive interview later this hour. There's one big mover in technology, and it's Oracle, on track for its best day since September, up around 11-12%. The numbers are very clear. Sales of $90 billion for the fiscal year starting in June. Capital expenditures holding at $50 billion.
The backlog is rising. And so the market's looking at this and saying, OK, the AI demand story is intact. Now it's about execution risk and credit risk. And how is Oracle going to manage cash to fund all of this? There's a lot more behind the numbers, Caro. There is, and we can dig into them and the results of Bloomberg's Brodie Ford. Look, they did enough to stay off any anxiety. They're sticking to just that 50 billion in capital expenditure. And the numbers thus far, particularly in the offering of cloud and the infrastructure side, really strong.
Exactly. Right now, it's all about, as you both said, that execution risk. I mean, we have to remember that Oracle was kind of the poster child for Wall Street getting scared about all these big data centers not going quite right or the margins being upside down. But the results last night gave a lot of comfort, right?
They showed that things are progressing. They're recognizing revenue. The margin is reasonable. And so these are kind of all the messages that investors were hoping to hear from Oracle. Brodie, take us inside the earnings call. What was it like going into it? We had broken this story about Abilene not expanding from what was a set 1.2 gigawatts to potentially 2 gigawatts, and the markets reacted. As far as I can tell in the transcripts, it didn't come up. But there were lots of questions about how Oracle is going to pull this off.
Yeah, for sure. I think the big question underlying a lot of it is how are the big builds going, right? And the indicator that some of these are going well is that the revenue is getting recognized. That means capacity is getting handed over to big customers like OpenAI. The line in the transcript I thought was interesting was that their new co-CEO, Clay McGuirk, said that 90% of what we delivered this quarter was on time or ahead of schedule. I think that was probably a kind of response to a lot of anxiety out there about potential delays or things kind of going sideways that, you know, despite the noise, we're handing over capacity just like we said we would.
