The latest reported fiscal quarters across five hyperscalers show $193.549B of cash property and productive-asset purchases against $194.862B of GAAP operating cash flow, or 0.9933x, below the written 1.0 Canary 3 threshold. Four quarters end June 2026 while Oracle ends August, and the cash-purchase basis excludes noncash finance-lease additions; Oracle operating cash flow includes $11.363B of customer prepayments with a significant financing component. Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon guide capital spending higher, while Meta raised the lower end of its range, so the separate two-major flat-to-down guidance trigger is not met. Oracle project-financing friction merits monitoring but does not establish an aggregate debt-funding trigger or a sell signal.
