Oracle credit risk hits near 18-year high on AI debt load angst

Oracle's credit risk has reached nearly an 18-year high due to debt from AI investments, as measured by credit default swaps.

Oracle is the largest non-financial issuer in Bloomberg's US high-grade corporate bond index, making it a key barometer for AI risk in credit markets.

S&P Global Ratings downgraded Oracle earlier this month to one notch above junk status.
