Stock Market Today, Oct. 14: Oracle Tumbles on Hotter CPI Data Lifting Treasury Yields

Oracle stock fell 8.83% on October 14, 2026, following hotter-than-expected September CPI data that lifted Treasury yields and revived rate-hike concerns.

Despite strong 30% year-over-year revenue growth driven by triple-digit cloud infrastructure gains, investors are concerned about margin pressure and the company's shrinking free cash flow, with potential dividend cuts possible.
