Shares of Oracle Corp ( ORCL ) are falling Tuesday after The Information reported that the company is facing financial struggles related to renting out Nvidia ( NVDA ) chips.

What To Know: The Information cited internal Oracle data indicating the company lost nearly $100 million last quarter renting out Nvidia Corp’s Blackwell chips. The report also indicates that Oracle’s gross profit margin from rentals of servers powered by Nvidia ( NVDA ) chips averaged around 16% over the past year.

Oracle shares were down nearly 5% following the news, according to Benzinga Pro. The sharp sell-off in shares is likely due to the strong run in the stock this year.

“As a bit of a preview, we expect Oracle Cloud Infrastructure revenue to grow 77% to $18 billion this fiscal year — and then increase to $32 billion, $73 billion, $114 billion, and $144 billion over the subsequent four years,” said Safra Catz, executive vice chair of Oracle.

The company also recently signed four multi-billion dollar contracts with three different customers and appointed two new co-CEOs. Oracle is not due to report financial results again until December.
