NWQWM Morning Financial Report

Oracle Corp. emerged as the winner in negotiations to take over the U.S. operations of ByteDance Ltd.'s TikTok app, according to people familiar with the talks. The terms of the deal are still evolving, with the end option likely to be something closer to a corporate restructuring with Oracle taking a stake in a newly formed U.S. business. While the structure seems to be devised in order to meet recently tightened Chinese oversight rules, it is not clear whether it would pass muster with the administration, which has set tomorrow as the deadline for the sale or shutdown of TikTok's American operation.
