$Oracle(ORCL.US) Oracle is initiating significant layoffs that may affect thousands of employees while investing heavily in AI infrastructure. The company's ongoing transformation, driven by advancements in generative AI, faces financial pressure, necessitating cost-cutting measures to support growth in cloud computing and AI services. The story has been the same for a long time - huge backlogs but no short term cash flow just yet. Usually, the stock market rewards those companies that layoffs employees to cut costs and generate greater profits for shareholders, but until Oracle can turn those backlogs into liquid cash flow, the stock may be stuck trading at current levels. @Bridge Buzz SG
