Oracle reports $664B backlog, signaling strong future growth but high costs and insider selling raise concerns.

Oracle revealed a massive $664 billion revenue backlog, indicating significant future growth driven by AI cloud contracts and strong cloud infrastructure revenue. Despite this, the company faces high capital expenditures and negative free cash flow as it builds capacity, with insider stock sales adding to investor caution. Management expects about half of the backlog to convert to revenue over the next three years, with the biggest impact on revenue and costs coming later. Investors will watch Oracle's cloud revenue growth, capacity delivery, and capital spending closely to gauge how well the backlog translates into profits.
