On this episode of Stock Movers: Listen for comprehensive cross-platform coverage of the US market close as heard on Bloomberg Television, Bloomberg Radio, and YouTube with Romaine Bostick, Scarlet Fu, Carol Massar and Matt Miller.- Oracle (ORCL) shares were higher after it said it signed a single cloud deal worth $30 billion in annual revenue — more than the current size of its entire cloud infrastructure business. That revenue is expected to start flowing in the fiscal year 2028, Oracle disclosed in a regulatory filing Monday, without naming the customer.“ Oracle is off to a strong start” in its fiscal year 2026, Chief Executive Officer Safra Catz said in the filing. The company has signed “multiple large cloud services agreements,” she said, adding that revenue from Oracle’s namesake database that runs on other clouds continues to grow more than 100%.The $30-billion deal ranks among the largest cloud contracts on record. That revenue alone would represent nearly three times the size of Oracle’s current infrastructure business, which totaled $10.3 billion over the past four quarters. A major cloud contract awarded in 2022 from the US Defense Department, that runs through 2028 and could be worth as much as $9 billion, is split among four companies, including Oracle. That award was a shift after an earlier contract worth $10 billion was awarded to Microsoft Corp. and was contested in court.- BitMine (BMNR) was among the day's biggest movers after the crypto company announced a new $250 million placement. - Boeing (BA) shares slid after hours when it announced it will be replacing chief financial officer Brian West.

West is leaving in mid-August and will be succeeded by former Lockheed Martin executive Jesus “Jay” Malave. West will remain an adviser to Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg, Boeing said in a statement on Monday. Both changes are effective Aug. 15, the company said. The staffing change marks the highest-profile personnel switch since Ortberg took over the top role at the planemaker last year. West helped Ortberg navigate a capital squeeze and avoid a possible ratings downgrade to junk status, brought on by a crippling strike last year and a steep slowdown in output after a near-catastrophic accident.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
