Oracle's New Mexico AI Project Faces Debt Pressure and Local Opposition
What happened
Around $18 billion in loans tied to a data center leased by Oracle in New Mexico has come under pressure, with syndicate banks including Santander Group and Jefferies quoting loans at 89 to 91 cents on the dollar. This financial caution coincides with escalating local opposition to the 1,400-acre Project Jupiter campus in Doña Ana County, which fears impacts on water supply and air quality. Separately, US President Donald Trump extended the $100,000 fee for H-1B visas by another year, which has already caused a 92% decrease in H-1B registrations by large IT outsourcing firms.

Furthermore, Goldman Sachs issued a cautious note on Indian IT stocks, noting that IT services demand remains weak despite generally robust tech spending.
