The multi-wave timeline clarifies the structural pattern Oracle follows:
August 31, 2025 Layoff: Accounted for as a $402 million localized surge in Q1 FY26 (reported September 2025).
March 31, 2026 Layoff: Accounted for as an $823 million localized surge in Q4 FY26 (reported yesterday, June 10, 2026).
The Result: The accumulation of these massive structural waves is what compiled the overall $2.1 billion restructuring footprint, leaving the remaining ~$980 million reserve sitting clean on the books to fund the upcoming FY2027 phases.

OP, what would stop them from allocating another 2.1billion or even more to restructuring if they chose to do so? They can spend as much money as they want on restructuring as long as it is reported properly in the financial reports. If the board of directors decides that they want a company with 80K employees there is nothing that will stop them from achieving it.
