Oracle (NYSE:ORCL): Half Stock, Half Debt at Steep Coupons

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) split its November 2, 2026 raise evenly between equity and debt. The common stock sale of 86,206,897 shares at USD 116.00 is worth about USD 10.0 billion before costs, which matches net proceeds of about USD 9.9 billion, and the USD 10.0 billion of senior notes priced in tranches reported for 2029, 2031, 2033, 2037 and 2046 at coupons from 7.000% to 8.650%. Both offerings are expected to close on November 4. The Offer Price is about 2.7% below the USD 119.20 close on November 2, simple arithmetic, after shares fell about 8.6% that day. Oracle said proceeds are for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures and debt repayment, while it affirmed about USD 70 billion of full-year capital spending. Coupons that high for a large technology issuer show how much the market charges to fund AI Data Center spending. Interest on USD 10.0 billion implies an annual cost near USD 0.8 billion, simple arithmetic assuming an average coupon near 8%. Published coverage cites a target of up to USD 50 billion of debt and equity in 2026.

Meta (NASDAQ:META): A Repeat Borrower in a Crowded Market

Meta (NASDAQ:META) priced a five-part dollar bond offering on November 3, 2026, raising USD 15 billion as it turns to debt markets to fund AI infrastructure. Published coverage cites orders of as much as USD 58 billion, about 3.9 to 4 times the deal size, with yields from 5.85% on the shortest part to 7.53% on the longest. The 10-year part yielded about 6.55%, roughly 1 point above the average for AA-rated bonds and about 0.5 point above BBB-rated bonds, per that report, while the 10-year Treasury Yield was about 4.95% on November 3. The longest part, due 2056, priced at 2.2 points over Treasuries after tightening 0.3 points from initial guidance. Published coverage also reports a debut euro-denominated sale beginning on November 4. Meta also sold a large dollar bond in late April 2026. Reports of a larger equity and preferred raise and a USD 20 billion or more program conflict across accounts and are not relied on here. Rising financing costs and market fatigue as Supply grows are the main risks, and interest is a fixed claim that squeezes free Cash Flow if AI Revenue arrives later than spending. Meta can use debt to preserve cash for Buybacks and capital spending.

CVR Energy (NYSE:CVI): Doubling Throughput With Borrowed and Partner Money

CVR Energy (NYSE:CVI) agreed to buy the St. Paul Park and Mandan refineries and a related marketing business for about USD 4.2 billion plus net working capital, according to published coverage of the November 3, 2026 announcement. Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC) is the seller. A related CVR filing dated November 3 lists audited financial statements of the business. St. Paul Park processes 105,000 barrels per day and Mandan 72,000, which would lift CVR's throughput from about 207,000 to about 384,000 barrels per day, and the deal adds up to 590 branded sites. Financing includes USD 2.5 billion of committed secured debt, a USD 500 million equity commitment from the controlling Shareholder and a USD 800 million equity Investment from Trafigura US Holdings. Closing is expected by the end of 2026, subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance. Published market data showed CVR down 13.09% without a timestamp, so the size of the drop is approximate. A buyer's shares often fall when a deal adds Leverage and new equity, and other risks include the pro forma balance sheet, crude supply into the Upper Midwest and refinery outages.

EVgo (NASDAQ:EVGO): A Controlling Holder Wants the Rest

EVgo (NASDAQ:EVGO) was the funding story in reverse: instead of raising money, its controlling holder proposed to buy out the rest. LS Power Equity Advisors offered USD 2.00 in cash per Class A share it does not own, about 59% above the prior close of roughly USD 1.26, simple arithmetic. LS Power affiliates hold 178,682,352 shares, equal to 56.81% of combined voting power, per the Schedule 13D/A filed November 2. The filing says the proposal may be modified or withdrawn and may lead to a Merger or a delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and EVgo formed a special committee of independent directors. Published coverage says LS Power expects a long-form merger, which would need formal approvals and a vote. EVgo reports third-quarter results on November 9, with analysts expecting revenue near USD 94.62 million and a loss of USD 0.12 a share, per the same coverage. The company operates more than 1,200 fast-charging sites across 47 states. A cash offer means no dilution, but the premium is only as good as the chance the deal completes.

Where Things Stand

The Oracle raise rattled markets because it combined a discounted share sale, steep coupons and an affirmed USD 70 billion capital spending plan, a sign of how expensive AI funding has become. Meta's bond deal drew strong orders but at yields up to 7.53%. CVR Energy (NYSE:CVI) leaned on debt and partner equity, and its shares fell about 13%. EVgo is the odd one out, a possible take-private rather than a raise. Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and Meta both show higher funding costs for AI spending. The next catalysts are the Oracle closing on November 4, the euro bond pricing, the CVR antitrust review and the EVgo special committee, and Credit rating commentary could follow. Funding terms are facts, but market reactions can reverse.
