Oracle's stock jumped 29.4% in a week due to AI infrastructure news and a large backlog, but this masks significant risks. The company has taken on $124.7 billion in non-current debt, with total liabilities at $206 billion against $39 billion in equity, resulting in negative free cash flow and heavy capital spending. Oracle's AI strategy relies heavily on a single customer, OpenAI, creating a concentration risk that could hurt revenue if the relationship falters. Retail investors are cautious, with insider selling and weak social sentiment. Safer alternatives like Alphabet and Arista Networks offer AI growth funded by strong cash flow rather than debt.
