The backlog is NOT lengthening (the near-term conversion share has ticked UP for three straight quarters; the lengthening was a single step-change in Q1 FY26 when the mega-contracts landed, not a trend), while the FUNDING has decisively changed character: $11.4B of the record $23.1B operating cash flow is customer credit Oracle itself books interest expense on, and capex at 1.48x revenue runs 3-5.5x every hyperscaler even after the finance-lease adjustment that usually closes such gaps. Oracle is not out-spending its peers as a share of revenue; it is spending a different KIND of money.dossier
