is it oracle's worst week since 2001?
I'll check Oracle's weekly price history going back to 2001 to see if this is its worst week.
Only 22 weekly points since 2026-01-30 — not enough history. Let me load the full daily series and compute weekly returns going back to 2001.
No — it's not Oracle's worst week since 2001, though it is close.
Oracle (ORCL) worst weeks since 2001 (adjusted close, % change vs. prior week):
| Week ending | Adj. close | Weekly return |
|---|---|---|
| Mar 2, 2001 | $13.45 | −23.27% |
| Aug 31, 2001 | $9.73 | −19.51% |
| Jun 26, 2026 | $148.53 | −19.40% |
| Sep 20, 2002 | $6.37 | −17.88% |
| May 3, 2002 | $6.72 | −16.78% |
| Aug 10, 2001 | $12.08 | −15.78% |
| Feb 9, 2001 | $18.78 | −15.10% |
| Apr 26, 2002 | $8.07 | −15.09% |
| Oct 10, 2008 | $13.29 | −14.37% |
| Mar 23, 2018 | $39.65 | −14.31% |
So the week ending Jun 26, 2026 is the 3rd-worst week for ORCL since 2001, narrowly behind the dot-com bust weeks of March and August 2001. It is, however, the worst week since the 2008 financial crisis and the worst in roughly 18 years — a meaningfully bad week, just not quite a record.
Caveat: the week of Jun 26 is incomplete (Friday close as of Jun 26, 2026); if Oracle rallies into today's close it could move a couple of slots, but the worst-week-since-2001 framing does not hold either way.
