Technical Analysis 
Jun 24, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 43 opinions in the last 12 months.
Oracle has experienced a fluctuating performance recently, grappling with challenges related to its substantial debt and the sustainability of its aggressive investment in data centers. While the company reported strong earnings last quarter, beating estimates both in EPS and revenue, the market remains skeptical about its growth trajectory given the high capital expenditures on AI and data infrastructure. Analysts express concern about Oracle’s reliance on partnerships, particularly with OpenAI, and question its ability to maintain positive cash flow. Social media buzz around the company has surged significantly, indicating a potential interest despite its share price volatility. Overall, while Oracle possesses strengths in its cloud sector and a recognized brand, the prevailing sentiment reflects caution due to its financial strategy and market positioning.
Large database and software provider. Last quarter was weak. There were some sales that didn’t close and Easter fell in the previous quarter. Have their own Cloud offering called Fusion, which should do well. Yield of 0.7%.
Michael Simpson, CFALast time around their earnings were a bit disapointing, which is when he bought it. Thinks the stock has room to grow. Thinks it will continue growing in the future.

(A Top Pick May 11/12. Up 16.82%.) They are behind on their Cloud and he doesn’t know why but it is very concerning and he has them on his Watch list. Sales are still pretty good. Hardware division has been the real problem for them. Still likes.
John O'Connell, CFAHas been a very acquisitive company. Made a ton of acquisitions throughout history and almost all of them have gone exceptionally well. Has grown its services and products very, very well. Cloud computing platform is growing very rapidly. Recurring revenues are very high. Trading at about 13X earnings. P/E ratio of 16.8 and a yield of 0.68%.
John O'Connell, CFAThe only disappointing, slightly negative story is that there is still a lot of hardware dependency. Cloud side has been incredible but that area has a lot of competition with SAP AG (SAP-N). Very cash-rich. Over the last year they’ve been focusing on midsize emerging cloud switching delivery companies globally. He is a very minimal holder and wishes he had had a lot more. Over the next year, this is a company where you absolutely want to be.
(A Top Pick Sept 7/11. Up 18.85%.) Dominant business software. Really, really aggressive. Acquisitive. About a 3rd of their sales is out of Europe and in spite of the tough times there, they continue to do very well. The developing world is expanding at a more rapid pace and this company is there for sure.

He is seeing so many good reasonably cheap ideas out there. Earnings have doubled over the past 2 years but the stock price has gone nowhere and the stock got hammered on their earnings report. To him that is a “fat pitch”. None of their customers are going to leave tomorrow.
