Operating cash flow was a record $23 billion for the first quarter, up 184%, according to the release, and free cash flow was negative $5 billion. The company sold $20 billion of common stock through an at-the-market program, which the 10-Q shows fully used with 141 million shares and $19.9 billion of net proceeds.

For the second quarter, the company guided total revenue growth of 30% to 34% and non-GAAP EPS of $1.83 to $1.91 in constant currency. Second-quarter cloud revenue growth is guided to 64% to 70% in constant currency and 65% to 71% in U.S. dollars. For fiscal 2027, it guided total revenue of at least $90 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $8.10.

Dividend and Growth Relationships

The $2.00 annualized dividend equals 24.7% of the $8.10 fiscal 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance, a computed ratio. Cloud revenue equals 60.1% of total revenue, and cloud infrastructure equals 38.3%, both computed.

Remaining performance obligations of $664 billion equal about 34 times quarterly revenue of $19.3 billion, a computed multiple. The $20 billion at-the-market proceeds compare with negative free cash flow of $5 billion in the quarter.

Outlook

Oracle’s $0.50 quarterly dividend is payable October 23 to shareholders of record on October 9, 2026. The negative $5 billion free cash flow, the $20 billion at-the-market equity issuance, the $664 billion of remaining performance obligations, and the guidance of at least $90 billion of fiscal 2027 revenue are the relevant considerations.
