      More x axis fuckery, if you zoomed out to the period which they actually went all in on AI, about two years ago, you’d see they were rewarded for it with a spike in evaluation, before coming back to earth which OP is showing.

      On the other side if you zoom into today, when the layoff announcement was made, they’re up ~6%

        Receding value does still pose massive problems for a company, between reputation cost and massively reallocating funds they hoped to use. overextension isn’t unusual and the implosion can be terrifying. Hence oracle’s 30000 personnel cuts. Personally, I hope they die horribly. Fuck oracle.
