Oracle's aggressive AI infrastructure spending has pressured its stock, but the massive $638 billion backlog suggests strong future revenue. The market is weighing near-term capital intensity against long-term growth potential, with the stock down 23% YTD despite strong operational metrics.
Oracle Corporation is aggressively expanding its AI data center capacity, with capital expenditures reaching $55.66 billion in FY2026 and planned $70 billion in FY2027. The company reported Q4 FY2026 revenue of $19.18 billion (up 21% YoY) and cloud infrastructure revenue growth of 93% to $5.79 billion. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) surged to $638 billion, up 363% YoY, providing strong revenue visibility. However, negative free cash flow of $23.69 billion and a planned $40 billion capital raise have spooked investors, leading to a 23% YTD stock decline. WSP Global downgraded Oracle's credit rating from BBB to BBB- on July 13, 2026, citing AI infrastructure debt. Despite the selloff, management guided FY2027 revenue of $90 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $8.05, with a five-year OCI revenue target of $144 billion. Insider buying by CFO Hilary Maxson and seven directors signals confidence. The stock trades at 16x forward EPS, a discount to peers like Microsoft (29x) and Salesforce (19x). Analysts remain bullish with a consensus target of $252.64, but execution risk on the massive capex plan and potential AI demand cooling are key concerns.
