However, investors worry about the company's $124 billion debt load and heavy reliance on OpenAI, which has questionable ability to fulfill its $300 billion commitment. While Oracle's P/E ratio of 25.1 is the cheapest in 3 years, the analyst recommends waiting for market stabilization before buying.
