Reuters, September 24 - According to a Thursday report by Bloomberg, Oracle (ORCL.N) is seeking to avoid the risk of rising costs from a major data center project in New Mexico by issuing a "force majeure" notice to developer Blue Owl (OWL.N).
The report, citing people familiar with the matter, said that after the news broke, the company's shares fell about 4% in pre-market trading. Reuters was unable to independently verify the information.
According to the report, Oracle aims to delay payments to deal with potential setbacks to the data center project known as "Project Jupiter" if it fails to become operational as scheduled in 2028, rather than withdrawing as the main tenant.
When uncontrollable issues arise, companies usually invoke force majeure clauses to be exempted from contractual obligations. Oracle and Blue Owl have not yet responded to Reuters' requests for comment.

BUZZ - Morningstar expects Woodside's revenue growth will outpace global peers by the end of this decade
On October 9, Morningstar predicted that the revenue of Australian oil and gas producer Woodside Energy (WDS.AX) will grow by over 30% by 2030, outpacing any of its international peers. Woodside Energy’s share price dropped by 0.6% on the day to 32.12 AUD, after surging 2.6% in the previous trading session. The stock is poised to end a three-week losing streak, with oil prices rising due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, and is set for a 2.8% weekly gain O/R. Morningstar expects Woodside’s revenue to increase as major new projects come online, and forecasts free cash flow to exceed 7 billion USD after 2030, reflecting a 300% rise from 2025. The report added that market sentiment remains bearish, with the current share price below its estimated fair value of 44.00 AUD. Year-to-date, Woodside’s share price has risen 36.2%, while Santos shares are up 41.3%.
