In case this whole thing wasn't horrible already

Bankruptcy?

Transcript: The 500 billion dollar company Oracle is now on the brink of bankruptcy.
And the situation is only getting worse.
Let me explain.
The company has now taken on over 130 billion dollars to rapidly build A I.
Data centers to satisfy. Their over $638 billion in demand for A I capacity.
Now it doesn't sound that crazy until you look at the numbers closer.
Nearly 50% of the entire demand comes from just one company
Open A I. The same company that lost over $38 billion last year
and is on track to lose over $27 billion this year.
The Company has no path to profitability
and if they pull out their commitments to Oracle,
then they have a 300 billion dollar problem.
And investors are already anticipating this is going to happen.
The cost of insuring Oracle's debt has skyrocketed to over 200 basis points,
which is even higher than when Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008.
But it gets worse. The same man
that made over a billion dollars shorting the housing market in 2008,
Michael Burry, just put out a massive short position on Oracle.
And if he's right like he usually is,
then this could collapse the entire A I bubble.

New major risk - Financial position
The company's interest payments are not well covered by earnings.

Net interest cover: 3.0x
This is considered a major risk. If the company is unable to fund interest repayments on its debt through profits, it may be forced into reducing its debt burden through selling assets, undertaking a potentially costly capital raising or even into bankruptcy in the worst case scenario.

Bankruptcy Impact On Recently Laid Off Employees

Have any of the recently laid off employees retained legal counsel yet? I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that wages, vacation and severance are granted priority status over unsecured creditors. However, that amount is capped at $15,150. I really hope I am wrong, but when HR told us all that we would be on payroll through September 22nd, they did it with management knowing that bankruptcy would be filed in 9 days and we would all be getting a fraction of what they told us. Nice integrity, and what a great way to deceive the people who were working hard for you.

Honda and Toyota over ford any day

Have you guys looked at a ford car vs Honda/toyota. The choice is obvious, why would anyone want to buy a ford. The Honda crv was the best selling vehicle in America for a reason. Ownership cost is way lower than a ford. Those who still drive a ford is only because they get a management discount so don’t let them fool you. Bankruptcy is around the corner…

What Type???

Now that it looks like from managements maneuvering that bankruptcy is certain to happen very soon, what are the odds it could go directly to Ch 7 instead of Ch 11.
There was an analyst stating it could line up that way because of the abnormal amount of debt they are dealing with.
This would mean all stockholders would have zero value.
