Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) stock has plummeted by 56% from last year's record high, but I'm not convinced this is a good buying opportunity.

Oracle has a diverse business spanning enterprise software, database systems, AI infrastructure, and more. All eyes are on the cloud infrastructure segment right now, which is where the company logs the revenue it earns from renting data center computing capacity to AI customers.

Moreover, Oracle's infrastructure is highly automated by software, so the company can bring new locations online faster than competitors that rely on human-led processes.
