Why Oracle’s 10% Drop May Be Telling the Wrong Story

Oracle's stock dropped 10% following earnings, but the sell-off may be misguided. While 2026 results appear tepid, the company's remaining performance obligation (RPO) surged 363% year-over-year to $640 billion, representing seven years of projected revenue. Most AI contracts will deliver revenue starting in 2027, positioning Oracle for exponential growth. The company posted 20.8% revenue growth, record EPS, and 54% operating income increase, with cloud services growing 47%. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic with 78% Buy-side bias and 50% consensus upside, suggesting a rebound is likely by summer's end.

Alphabet’s $80 Billion Flex

Alphabet announced an $80 billion capital raise, with Berkshire Hathaway contributing $10 billion, to fund its massive AI infrastructure build-out. The move signals that even highly profitable tech giants are now spending beyond their operating cash flow on AI capex. While the equity raise is minimally dilutive (2% of shares), questions remain about the actual ROI of these massive AI investments, especially as hyperscalers compete in a supply-constrained environment driving up equipment costs.

S&P 500 Rebound Looks Fragile as Chip Strength Masks Thin Breadth

U.S. equities rebounded Thursday driven by semiconductor strength, with Intel, Applied Materials, and Arm Holdings surging on AI chip demand.

Bloom Energy stock has declined 24% from its recent peak due to concerns about slowing AI capex spending amid potential inflation and rising interest rates.
