OracleORCLCOMMENTNov 24, 2025Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jul 14, 2026. Market Open.
They delivered a strong quarter yesterday. When Oracle issued debt to pay for its big data centre build-out, investors became concerned over its credit, starting last fall. However, their Q3 had many highlights: top and bottom line beat and every division except their smallest posted better than expected sales. Also, their operating margin rose over the last quarter. EPS also grew. Q4 guidance: 19-21% revenue growth, higher than expected. Meanwhile, OpenAI completed its fundraising so it can pay its bills for the short/medium term; Oracle doesn't have to worry about this in their partnership with OpenAI.
They build data centres better than anyone. It doesn't live or die depending on AI, though it is taking on a lot of debt. ChapGPT is their biggest business partner. He wouldn't write off either company in the face of Google's (and Broadcom's) current success with Gemini 3, but any company depending on ChatGPT is suddenly more precarious.
