What happened

Shares of Oracle Corp Japan surged more than 7% Friday after the company reported record fiscal first-quarter sales and profits, as its cloud business posted strong growth.

Why it matters

The rally in Tokyo stood in contrast to a more than 3% drop in U.S.-listed Oracle shares overnight, after the company sent a "force majeure" notice tied to its New Mexico data center project.

Common ground

The Japanese arm said Thursday that net sales for the June-August quarter rose 13% from a year earlier to 74.86 billion yen ($472 million), while operating profit jumped 22.7% to 25.92 billion yen.
