    Surely this will assuage the creditors that Oracle is going to pay back its $100B+ loans.

      It's easier to pay back the loans if they don't spend the money in the first place. This sounds like they can't spend the money, so paying it back should be easy, not hard.

        Stock price is contingent on the idea of returns from that debt being spent. If they pay it back, stock price goes down.
