“Look, the only one I’m worried about, and I’ve been assured by Hock Tan, he’s one of the toughest guys in the world, not to worry about the Oracle, it’s fine.”
As for the reason why Cramer’s worried about Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), here is what he said on Mad Money on October 27th:
“At this point, basically, all of the major players in the AI data center trade, from Nvidia to Broadcom to AMD to CoreWeave, are taking a risk in that they’re assuming OpenAI will be good for the massive amounts of money it’s committed to spending and no one has more exposure to that than Oracle, which is expecting to get 60 billion per year from OpenAI in their five year deal. Wow. Everyone in the industry seems to think OpenAI will be good for the money, but no one needs them to be good for like Oracle does.”
While we acknowledge the potential of ORCL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
