On August 6, Oracle fell 3.37% in regular trading, trading at approximately $145.42/share, with turnover of $4.71 billion.
The decline was driven by intensifying credit risk concerns following Standard & Poor's downgrade of Oracle's long-term issuer credit rating from BBB to BBB-, leaving the company just one notch above speculative grade. The downgrade centers on Oracle's aggressive AI infrastructure spending, which has severely eroded free cash flow. Approximately half of Oracle's $638 billion in remaining performance obligations stem from a single customer, OpenAI, a concentration dependency viewed as a key credit vulnerability.
Adding to the pressure, Oracle's credit default swap spreads have surged to a record closing high, surpassing their 2008 peak, signaling elevated default risk perception in credit markets. Multiple rating agencies have warned that the broader AI investment frenzy is straining the financial health of major technology firms.
