1RPO Watch
The first number to check in Oracle's fiscal 2027 first-quarter earnings isn't revenue or profit - it's RPO (remaining performance obligation), the backlog. RPO stood at $638B last quarter. The single biggest driver is the Stargate project with OpenAI, a contract worth $300B on its own.
Two things matter this quarter. First, whether RPO growth continues - whether new large contracts get added beyond Stargate. Second, whether customer concentration deepens further. Dependence on OpenAI alone is already close to half of the backlog; if it grows further, execution risk on a single contract could shake the entire company's valuation.
Oracle has chosen a structure where it procures GPUs using customer prepayments. The balance between how fast the backlog converts to actual revenue and how much capex burden it carries is the central metric this quarter. The moment RPO growth slows, the credibility of the Stargate narrative wobbles with it.
