The Week in Numbers: Oracle makes a prediction, miners make a move

STORY: From a bullish prediction from Oracle, to a mega-deal in mining, this is the Week in Numbers.

:: $500 billion

Over half a trillion dollars is the revenue Oracle expects to book at its cloud business.

The bullish outlook is another sign of the AI boom, and sent shares in the firm soaring 27% in extended trade Tuesday.

That saw co-founder Larry Ellison’s wealth surge too.

Forbes says he is closing in on Elon Musk for the title of world’s richest man.

:: $53 billion

$53 billion will be the combined value of miners Anglo American and Teck Resources after a merger.

The deal announced by the pair would mark the second-biggest ever in the sector.

It’s meant to create a powerhouse in copper, which is seeing soaring demand spurred by EVs and AI data centers.

:: 30%

30% was the surge in shares for Klarna when it debuted on the New York Stock Exchange.

That saw the Swedish buy now-pay later lender valued at almost $20 billion.

But the firm also said it might have overdone a move to cut costs using AI, and would refocus on improving services and products. Related Videos

:: $7 billion

And up to $7 billion is the valuation that Chinese robotics firm Unitree is aiming for in an upcoming share listing.

That’s according to Reuters sources.

Unitree has grabbed attention with its humanoid robots, and is the market leader in the fledgling sector on production and sales.
