Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

That's great.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

Thanks for having me here.

Bloomberg Tech

Look, I think what you said right at this point, investors are concerned about free cash flow.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

Mostly, you know, they have to build massive CapEx build out for AI capacity data center build out.

Bloomberg Tech

And also they need to do the funding for that.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

So what matters at this today in the earnings call is Oracle giving some kind of clarity on that.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

Look, I think what investors missing is that Oracle has multiple options.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

They don't have to raise debt or capex.

Bloomberg Tech

They can also go for alternative financing like vendor financing or capital leasing.

Bloomberg Tech

Then you won't see that in a capex.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

But at this point, Oracle is not able to tell you how much of the capex, how much debt they have to raise, because they are going to evaluate this as they are building out data center, each data center.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

They are going to look at their own cost of capital and compare that with the leasing.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

So that's what I think the one of the concern.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

We hope to hear from management on that, how they are going to fund the capex, how they're going to build the data center.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

Yeah, I mean, that's a fair point, as you said.

Bloomberg Tech

But if you look at right now, there are a handful of AI companies, like three or four, OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and XAI.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

So Oracle got most of them.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

except anthropic.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

So, yes, and OpenAI is a trailblazer in that.

Bloomberg Tech

So, if they have that as a customer, that's, I think, most important at this point.
