The research
Abstract
This manuscript studies the relationship between debt-financed AI infrastructure expansion and shareholder value using Oracle as its case. It examines capital expenditure, uncommenced lease commitments, cash flow, credit spreads and counterparty concentration, and develops default-risk and sum-of-the-parts valuation models. Reported financial figures, author calculations and valuation assumptions should be read with their source labels and limitations in the original PDF. The manuscript is made available for scholarly discussion; the separate paid investor report contains the investment rating and trade expressions.
