Stockchase Opinions

Kim Bolton Oracle ORCL-N HOLD Jan 29, 2025

Taken to the woodshed this week, mainly due to Trump and Stargate last week. He's been buying this week. No one's brought their price targets down. Monday may have been difficult, but it's a great opportunity to put some cash to work.

Pivoted nicely the way MSFT and IBM did years ago. Fourth main player in the cloud, which gives them recurring revenue. Best at cross-selling.

(Analysts’ price target is $207.00)
$161.880

You might be interested:

BUY

Oracle was a little late pivoting from hardware to software, but have very deep pockets so they now own #4 in cloud. He targets $207.

HOLD

Selling off with general selloff in tech. Great CEO.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has been beaten down along with anything related to data centres, but was up 3.27% today. Its multiple has compressed so much that the stock is now cheap.

BUY

They report Wednesday. The stock plunged after their last report, but has surprisingly bounced back. He expect good revenue growth this growth, driven by data centres.

WEAK BUY

Hasn't had a chance to look closely at yesterday's earnings. Stock's at a 52-week, if not all-time, high today. Looks interesting, given the cloud space it's in. Not expensive at 2x PEG, with forward PE of 29-30x. Earnings growth rate ~16%.

Technically, meets his criteria. 200-day MA is trending higher, and price is above that. High beta, volatile.

BUY

Is seeing billions in orders to build data centres. It popped 4% today, up over 31% this year.

BUY

Is in the sweet spot, AI, and giving excellent results. Momentum is there. All systems go. The only negative is its valuation, but its momentum trumps that.

WEAK BUY

People think of it as legacy databases and old technology. Slowly emerging as alternative player in the cloud. Joint Stargate project is exciting, includes $500B infrastructure push. Low base rate, so this pivot provides a revenue acceleration opportunity in cloud.

TRADE

Rolled all his option from the 8/22 expiration to the 8/29 expiry. Net credit of $16 at the same $237.50 strike.

PARTIAL SELL

Has tripled for him over 2.5 years, though has trimmed a little a few weeks ago only to manage risk. Is up 42% this year. Is key in the AI build-out long-term.
