Could Oracle's Debt Load Derail Its AI Cloud Ambitions?
The risk of a sudden reversal in AI growth looms large over Oracle stock.
Overview
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is down 56% from its peak about a year ago. The company's stock surged after signing a $300 billion agreement with OpenAI. However, doubts emerged about whether OpenAI could fulfill its obligations under the agreement, which sent Oracle stock tumbling.
