Oracle’s $300 Billion OpenAI Bet Coincides With About $315 Billion Market-Value Slide

Investors fear mounting leverage driven by debt-funded data‑centre expansion.

Overview

  • An FT analysis finds Oracle has lost about $315 billion in market value since announcing a $300 billion OpenAI agreement on September 10.
  • Credit risk gauges have risen, with the cost of hedging Oracle’s debt at a three-year high following roughly $18 billion of bond issuance in September.
  • Oracle outlined a capex plan of $35 billion for the current fiscal year and consensus expects annual spending to approach about $80 billion by 2029.
  • Company projections presented to analysts target $166 billion in cloud revenue by 2030, with a majority tied to OpenAI from 2027.
  • Net debt sits near 2.5 times EBITDA after more than doubling since 2021, and forecasts point to five consecutive years of negative cash flow.
