ORCL — Oracle Corp.
Permissible business, but debt has risen notably for acquisitions and buybacks.
Why?
Oracle's core enterprise software and cloud business is permissible, but the company has taken on significantly more debt in recent years to fund acquisitions (such as Cerner) and share buybacks, making its debt ratio a closer call than most software peers.
