Oracle's forecast of a FY29 capex step-down and a limit on additional capital raises supports a return to all-time highs soon. Oracle says it will limit those raises to $20 billion through FY30 and reaffirmed its FY27 outlook of over $90 billion in revenue and $8.10 non-GAAP EPS. The stock remains very overcrowded. x.com  x.com 

Oracle will not be allowed to fail if the US government is all in on AI supremacy; it may dip, but not fail. Widening credit default swap spreads, now at 230 bps, and a high debt-to-equity ratio can weigh on the stock, but one quarter of major revenue outperformance would turn the tide. x.com  x.com 

Oracle's debt could implode, leaving shareholders exposed to severe losses. Its five-year CDS is at 261 basis points, above its 2008 highs; the perceived chance of its debt imploding has gone from zero to something higher. CDS alone is not a meaningful signal to increase or reduce exposure. x.com  x.com 

Oracle looks mispriced because $11 of current consolidated earnings power puts it at 11x earnings without a breakup. It trades below its software business's value despite the highest gross retention in software; separating pre-AI OCI, AI operations and AI development makes it an obvious long. Future funding will cost more, but current leverage is no issue and all contracts are well below spot, leaving nowhere near neocloud risk. Fundamentals may not matter during panics. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Oracle is back to being priced as a software company only, despite its bond-rating pressure and other bad news. @John75323561325 cites a reported $7B-plus increase in collateral calls tied to a Wisconsin data-center project as a rising risk. x.com 

Oracle is heading for a crash toward a $70 target as it rejects its monthly 50-period moving average from below. The biggest crashes come when a stock breaks its weekly 200-period and monthly 50-period averages, retests them from below and fails. Credit backs this up: Oracle leaned on cheap debt until its CDS hit levels unseen since 2009 and it was cut to one notch above junk, then announced about $20 billion of equity issuance anyway with shares 50% off their highs. x.com  x.com 

Oracle's projected free-cash-flow turnaround challenges the market's fear that data-center spending will bring insolvency or years of cash burn for little return. Oracle expects positive FCF in the second half of FY28, at least $30B in FY29 and self-funded growth by FY29 as capex declines. Already undervalued, Oracle is seeing a lift; the clearer profitability path could lift other data-center operators too. x.com 

Oracle's $664B contracted backlog justifies holding the stock, but position size should reflect funding risk. Capex was 161% of operating cash flow over the last four quarters, and debt plus leases total about $457B; only about 13% of RPO is expected to become revenue in the next year. Delivery timing, grid approvals and possible further equity issuance matter more than a shortage of demand. x.com 

The debt behind Oracle's capex is drawing credit-market concern. Its five-year credit-default swap spread has risen past 300 basis points. x.com 

Oracle's debt fear has created a solid opportunity, because new AI contracts are being funded largely without Oracle's own cash. Over $30 billion of Q1 contracts required no additional Oracle cash through prepayments, bring-your-own hardware and supplier financing; net cash capex was $18 billion versus $28 billion reported, and operating cash flow hit a record $23 billion. GPUs mostly four years or older renewed at a 20% premium, and its largest customer is getting cheaper to run. x.com
