Mr. Market Hates Oracle For Doing The Right Thing, Creating A Buying Opportunity

Pity Mr. Market. He supposedly wants to buy low and sell high. But he often recoils from and spews hate at stocks that can be bought low — like Oracle. Supposedly, ORCL is doing wrong by spending heavily to build data centers and, horror of horrors, borrowing and selling new equity to do this. In other words... ORCL is acting (gasp) normal. The whole world can’t be “asset lite” services. And building physical assets often means big spending and (double gasp) temporarily negative FCF. Big AI spenders will eventually need to earn returns on their investments. Not all will succeed. But AI, real, productive, AI is about data. Not all big spenders are. But... Data is and always has been ORCL’s forte, especially mission-critical enterprise data. Given its prowess here, I see ORCL as one of the eventual AI winners and its stock as a contrarian value 'Buy.'
