Distribution of Oracle's approximately $18 billion syndicated loan for its Project Jupiter data center in New Mexico has stalled, with bank bids falling to 89-91 cents on the dollar, valuing the loan at roughly $16 billion to $16.4 billion. Oracle's stock price bucked the trend overnight, falling 2%, and its recent performance has been significantly weaker than the overall AI sector. This loan is intended for the $500 billion "Stargate" AI infrastructure project, jointly led by OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle. Market concerns are growing regarding Oracle's continued debt accumulation and weakening credit profile. S&P downgraded its corporate credit rating in July, placing it just one notch above junk status.
