Oracle shares hit 52-week low as New Mexico regulators block critical natural gas pipeline for AI data center campus.
  • Oracle stock dropped approximately 3.5% to a fresh 52-week low near $122 following a regulatory setback for its AI infrastructure plans in New Mexico.
  • New Mexico Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard rejected a 17-mile natural gas pipeline application for the second time, citing environmental risks and insufficient benefits to the state's land trust.
  • The pipeline is critical for Project Jupiter, a massive data center campus that relies on on-site fuel cells fed by natural gas to meet its 2.5-gigawatt power requirement.
  • The regulatory delay is expected to push the site's operational date from 2027 to 2029 and could add billions of dollars in additional costs due to potential rerouting needs.

Quotes

“The project, she wrote, offered little benefit to the state's land trust or local community, while carrying clear environmental risk.”— Stephanie Garcia Richard, New Mexico Land Commissioner
“Oracle ( ORCL) has spent two years telling Wall Street it can build AI infrastructure faster than anyone else. A land commissioner in New Mexico just made that harder.”— Yahoo Finance
