Oracle's efforts to build a data center for OpenAI in Texas are encountering hurdles, posing risks to their ongoing collaboration and potentially leading to substantial losses for Oracle. The project's sluggish progress is attributed to challenges, notably issues with the energy system. Additionally, OpenAI is exploring options with Oracle's competitors, while the tariff policy under the Trump administration could further escalate costs. Previously, Oracle's stock price soared amidst the AI boom, but the delay in this project has injected a greater degree of uncertainty into its future outlook.
