Oracle $ORCL ( ▼ 4.47% ) posted mixed financial earnings results on Wednesday, causing the technology giant to plummet 11.53% in after-hours trading.

Financials: Oracle reported earnings of $2.26 per share in the past quarter, which were better than expected. But the revenue of $16.1 billion was lower than expected.

Details: Earnings increased because Oracle closed the sale of Ampere, its chip company, in the past quarter. But software revenues fell 3%.

Quote: “We are now committed to a policy of chip neutrality where we work closely with all our CPU and GPU suppliers. Of course, we will continue to buy the latest GPUs from NVIDIA, but we need to be prepared and able to deploy whatever chips our customers want to buy.” - Oracle Chairman and CTO, Larry Ellison.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Oracle’s move to “chip neutrality” means it will stop backing a single in‑house or preferred chip platform and instead buy and deploy whatever CPUs/GPUs customers want.

Final Thoughts: So much for Oracle’s momentum. The stock had been up 34% this year.

Despite posting strong financial earnings results and an upbeat message on Wednesday, Adobe $ADBE ( ▲ 1.71% ) slipped 0.80% in after-hours trading.

Financials: Adobe reported earnings of $5.50 per share in the past quarter and revenue of $6.19 billion. Both were better than expected.

Quote: “Adobe’s record FY2025 results reflect our growing importance in the global AI ecosystem and the rapid adoption of our AI-driven tools.” - CEO Shantanu Narayen.

Final Thoughts: Investors didn’t care about the company’s record results and increased adoption of its AI tools. Plus, the stock is down over 22% this year.
