IBM3.79%
ORCL-6.28%
On July 14, IBM announced a downward revision to its Q2 revenue guidance, cutting expectations from $17.8 billion to $17.2 billion, triggering a 25.21% stock collapse—the company's worst single day in 58 years. The same day, Oracle's credit rating was downgraded to BBB- by global rating agencies after the company committed $55.7 billion to data center infrastructure backed by debt financing rather than cash reserves, sending the stock to a 14-month low of $133 per share. Market sentiment has shifted from valuing AI investment volumes to scrutinizing profitability and funding structures, signaling heightened risk for companies pursuing aggressive expansion through borrowed capital.
