September 11, 2026 in numbers

Oracle Corp. (ISIN US68389X1054, NYSE: ORCL) finished the September 11, 2026 session at USD 150.28, with intraday trading showing the price moving within a range that kept the close below this week’s earlier highs and above recent short term lows, per NYSE quote data.

As Yahoo Finance reported on September 13, 2026, Oracle shares closed at USD 150.28 on September 11, 2026, down 1.82% on the day investors digested news that founder and executive chair Larry Ellison had canceled a previously disclosed plan to sell up to 50 million Oracle shares valued at about USD 7.5 billion. According to New York Post, the company said no Oracle stock was sold under that trading plan and Ellison now has no other plans to sell any of his holdings.

Today’s drivers to watch

Today, September 14, 2026, trading in Oracle shares will continue to be colored by the latest developments around Ellison’s canceled share sale and recent analyst commentary. As Benzinga noted on September 13, 2026, the cancellation comes amid mixed analyst views on Oracle, with at least one Wall Street firm updating its stance and price target in recent days. In addition, Seeking Alpha highlighted that the canceled 10b5-1 plan had been disclosed shortly after Oracle reported quarterly results that topped analyst expectations, with the stock initially slipping about 1.7% following that release. Against this backdrop, investors today are set to weigh the interaction between insider activity, recent earnings strength and broader technology sector moves as Oracle stock heads into the open.
