Bondholders step back from Oracle’s latest debt moves to support AI spending

The post Bondholders step back from Oracle’s latest debt moves to support AI spending appeared com. The bond market is hammering Oracle this week after it was reported by Cryptopolitan that the company plans to stack another $38 billion onto its already massive debt load to build out more AI infrastructure, a move that stunned traders who were already watching its balance sheet swell past $104 billion. That new borrowing plan hit the market at the exact moment investors were trying to figure out how far the company can push this strategy while spending more cash than it brings in from operations through deals with startups like OpenAI. Bond traders said the impact showed up right away in the numbers. The company’s 2033 bonds with a 4. 9% coupon slipped again this week, lifting yields by more than three basis points over the last two weeks. The 2032 bonds with a 4. 8% coupon also saw yields rise almost two basis points in one week. Those jumps marked the moment when questions about the safety of this plan moved out of private calls and into actual trading. Analysts said the drop followed the CNBC report outlining the company’s plan to take on that additional $38 billion, which landed exactly when investors were trying to measure how deep this AI gamble could go. Traders track new warnings from analysts and investors Lisa Shalett, the chief investment officer of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, told Reuters that major tech firms are trying to keep stock buybacks alive while pouring money into capex, and they are financing both at once by borrowing. When Lisa said, “most of the major tech companies are trying to sustain their stock buyback programs at the same time that they’re spending on capex currently and to do that, they’re actually borrowing and so they’re using debt,” it matched what traders were seeing inside the bond screens all.

AI market cooling could push investment flows toward India

The post AI market cooling could push investment flows toward India appeared com. Market watchers are paying attention to a larger worldwide trend that could reshape money flowing into Indian stocks. The question is what happens to the boom in artificial intelligence investments. Indian stocks have not kept up with gains seen in other markets this year, partly because the country lacks companies focused purely on AI technology. Major financial institutions have warned about potential AI market corrections, with some analysts comparing the current situation to previous technology bubbles. Analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities believe India’s best chance to get back on the radar of global investors might actually come if the worldwide AI investment craze falls apart. Investment levels in AI companies have reached high levels, with concerns about sustainability and whether this represents a market bubble. Some investors have already started questioning whether AI-related companies are priced too high, though people disagree on whether prices will actually drop. If money does leave expensive AI stocks, some fast-growing Indian businesses that do not yet produce strong cash flows could still draw investment, according to these analysts. Indian stock markets are showing little movement as trading across the region stays largely calm as per Bloomberg. Weak economic figures from the United States and questions about what the Federal Reserve will do next have pushed investors worldwide to take a careful approach, and Indian markets are not immune to this hesitation. IPO market stays strong amid investor interest However, the scene for new stock offerings tells a different story. As reported by Cryptopolitan, the U. S. IPO market has been experiencing its hottest activity since 2021, and India’s primary market is following a similar pattern. Lenskart’s $821 million public listing received strong investor interest despite concerns about how the company was priced. Today, another major offering from Groww worth $747 million starts accepting bids from.
