Tech stocks declined late Thursday afternoon, with the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR ET

International Business Machines (IBM) stock fell 12% over the past twelve months, while the S&P 500 gained 16.5%. The easy read is that the bad news is already in the price.

The second rests on what replaced it. So what idea did Salesforce management once stress on its calls.

The notice would allow Oracle to delay payments should the facility miss its 2028 target to come online.

Shares of Oracle fell in midday trading, while shares of power equipment providers Bloom Energy and GE Vernova also declined.

Oracle just sent a force majeure letter to its lender on a piece of the $165 billion Stargate campus, and Blue Owl is the one absorbing the paperwork risk while its stock sits near a one-year low.

Bloom Energy's fuel cells would power this massive data center.

Bloom Energy built its entire bull case on a backlog anchored by one massive data center project, and now a pipeline delay outside its control is forcing investors to ask whether 2027 and 2028 revenue targets were ever as solid as the pitch sounded.
