Oracle (ORCL) stock has had a rough year, down 37% while the market climbed. The reason for the pessimism is plain to see: a colossal spending plan to build out its cloud infrastructure.

But the stock's low price appears to give little credit for the one number that reframes that entire risk: the company's Remaining Performance Obligations, or RPO.
