Banks Pull Back From Oracle's Stargate Debt
JPMorgan Chase has seen diminished investor interest in roughly $38 billion of syndicated debt tied to two Oracle-OpenAI Stargate data center campuses, people familiar with the matter said. The slowdown reflects lender concern about Oracle's below-peer credit rating and its massive AI infrastructure spending on a $500 billion, 10-gigawatt Stargate buildout through 2029, potentially raising borrowing costs.
