Oracle is set to raise $20 billion through bond and share sales to fund AI expansion, causing its stock to slide nearly 6% as dilution and debt concerns weigh on investors. Simultaneously, Meta faces a record $25 billion judgment in the Cambridge Analytica scandal, signaling severe regulatory and legal risks for Big Tech. These developments highlight the fragility of the tech rally, as capital demands and legal liabilities offset the benefits of geopolitical de-escalation. Reports indicate Amazon has canceled orders for graphics cards due to memory crises, highlighting supply chain bottlenecks in the AI sector. Conversely, Marvell is acquiring Lumentum for $115 billion, signaling aggressive consolidation and investment in AI infrastructure. This divergence suggests a bifurcated market where infrastructure builders are thriving while hyperscalers face execution challenges.
