Okay, the bull rebuttal on $ORCL because I gave you the promises vs performance frame yesterday after the report and the bulls have real cards too. Three of them in my view… 1) OCI grew 93% this quarter. Accelerating, at scale. Backlog is a promise 93% recognized growth is delivery. The conversion machine is visibly speeding up. 2) bookings are outrunning conversion 4 to 1. Read it bearish and that's a mountain of IOUs. Read it straight and it's the loudest demand signal enterprise infrastructure has ever printed demand so far ahead of supply that Oracle physically cannot build fast enough to recognize it. 3) the $40B raise is smaller than it looks. Customers are covering ~$75B of the buildout themselves, prepayments, supplying their own hardware. When your customers fund your capex, they're not just buying capacity. They're posting collateral on their own promises. So here's where I actually land on the overall report. The question was never whether demand is real, 93% growth ends that debate. The question is concentration, a historic share of that $638B traces back to a handful of AI labs, and the whole structure is them, funding Oracle, to buy from Nvidia, who guarantees the next layer down. Everyone is everyone's customer, lender, and collateral. It works brilliantly obviously, right up until one balance sheet in the chain coughs. Bookings outrunning delivery 4 to 1 is either the greatest demand signal in saas history or the longest IOU ever written. My honest answer, it's both, and the ratio between those two readings is the only chart that matters for the next two years…bullish imo 500 incoming. ORCl will be known as the only software company to ever make it alive due to ai, levered up but paid off…











UBS on $MU: Our supply chain work on Long Term Agreements (LTAs) across the memory industry suggests that up to 30% of DDR volumes industry-wide will be soon locked in at pricing that is just slightly below current levels we now expect the DRAM industry to remain undersupplied until at least C2Q28 (vs. 4Q27 prior), and NAND undersupply to last until 4Q27 (was 3Q27). At this point, we believe hyperscalers alone to have currently secured ~60-70% of the industry Server DDR5 volumes under 'enhanced' LTAs - in other words, guaranteeing MU and others offtake for this volum Even more important, this scenario yields MU EPS of >$100 even out in C2029E when we do believe DRAM pricing will undergo a fairly significant correction. In other words, we think MU still earns >$100 even if pricing for the floating portion of DDR declines by ~50%.
