Oracle의 AI Cloud 백로그가 $664 billion에 달한 가운데, CoreWeave와 Nebius의 주가가 동시에 4% 상승했다.

Oracle stock surged 7% to $164.25 in Friday morning trading following the company's fiscal first-quarter earnings release, marking its sharpest single-session move to an earnings report in recent memory. The reaction reads as a re-rating rather than a beat-and-move. CoreWeave and Nebius Group both climbed 4% in sympathy with Oracle's release, trading to $92.90 and $236.95 respectively, while the Invesco QQQ Trust rose 1%, placing Oracle several times the broad large-cap technology benchmark.

The catalyst is Oracle's backlog figure, significant enough to reset the demand narrative for the entire AI cloud infrastructure trade. CFO Hilary Maxson reported record total revenue of $19.3 billion in the quarter, with cloud infrastructure revenue growing 121% year over year. The company's remaining performance obligations (RPO) backlog reached $664 billion after more than $30 billion in new AI cloud contracts closed during the period. The RPO figure is what the market is repricing, because the number now reads like a promise beginning to convert into revenue rather than a headline stacking up.

Maxson noted that the newest contracts were signed through prepayment or bring-your-own-hardware arrangements that don't require incremental capital from Oracle. This framing addresses the cash-burn concern that had weighed on Oracle stock earlier in the year. Oracle's cloud share of the top line has now crossed 60%, up from 48% a year ago, and the company delivered 850 megawatts of additional datacenter capacity along with more than 300,000 GPUs to AI cloud customers during the period. Renewals came through at premium pricing relative to prior contracts, reinforcing that demand for deployed capacity remains firm.

The read-across for GPU cloud pure-plays is direct. If Oracle is filling capacity as fast as it can bring it online, CoreWeave and Nebius sit in the same demand pool with the same enterprise and hyperscaler customer set behind them. CoreWeave carries a revenue backlog of $104 billion as of the end of the second quarter, plus more than $25 billion in net new customer commitments added early in the third quarter. CoreWeave stock is up 30% year to date.

Nebius signed a five-year, $27 billion capacity agreement with Meta earlier this summer, took a $2 billion strategic equity investment from NVIDIA, and has guided contracted power above 4 GW by year-end. The stock is up 183% year to date, reflecting a willingness to pay up for early positioning in dedicated AI compute capacity.

The next anticipated Oracle catalyst is delivery. The contracts are signed, and Oracle's datacenter capacity has to arrive on schedule for the RPO to convert into revenue at the pace management now implies. Investors can watch for whether the cadence of GPU deployment holds through the fiscal second quarter, and whether CoreWeave and Nebius add more anchor customers as the AI capex cycle plays through.

A near-term consideration on the peer side is customer concentration, since much of the AI cloud backlog across CoreWeave and Nebius rests on a handful of large hyperscaler and lab agreements. If Oracle's fiscal second-quarter delivery numbers pull more diversified enterprise demand into the same trade, that would validate the broader thesis and support the group beyond a single-session move.
