Oracle (ORCL)

They report Monday. They build in-demand data centres, so he expects incredible strength in their report.

He owns both.

Took a bit of profit on DELL. Still holds about a 3-3.5% position in ORCL. If he had to choose, he'd say ORCL (at $189 now), for which his 12-month price target is $207.50.

Fantastic year. Strength is its salesforce and company longevity. Some cloud offerings, but a bit behind. Significant debt. Might hold in a basket, wouldn't be his only AI play. Chart looks as though it will continue higher.

Still loves it. Fourth largest of companies in the cloud. Lots of horses in the race: data centres, hardware, software, partnership with UofT in natural language processing. He has a pretty full position at ~5%, 12-month target of about $193. 

Within 10% of price target, and he doesn't take 1/3 off until it's within 5% of target. But he is starting to write some calls to earn some income. This is what he does unless the company's going to be reporting that week.

The data centre business is excellent and a huge tailwind, not to mention their partnership with Nvidia.

They just blew away numbers after missing them for many quarters. The good news is backed into shares now, though maybe there's another 10 points to come.

Great balance sheet and free cash flow. He's been adding to this in the last 3 months.

They report Monday. It's a steady tech company that's easy to understand--data centres. Good PE and he expects another good quarter. Only 4% of all-time highs during this tech sell-off.

A well-valued tech stock, 3% from an all-time high.

12-month price target of $158. Benefited from AI revolution, infrastructure buildout, and data centres. Terrific software. More of a trading stock at current levels. Trim if it gets above $150. Get in by thirds at $138, $131, and $124

Recently, they're turning around. Their legacy products have been upgraded which has helped spiked margins and revenue growth as seen in the last quarter. Also, they're in a sector that is now loved. But Oracle faces a lot of competition and their PE in the low-20's. Look elsewhere.

There's a lot of demand for their cloud infrastructure services. Good to see that the stock did not budge at the end of the Musk AI talks; Musk is probably posturing as he negotiates. Trades at 23x forward which his historically high, but in line with its AI peers.

He's starting to watch it. It's outperforming AI peers except Meta. The PE is historically high, but in line with peers.

Is now watching it. Wish he owned it. His only concern is that it's a little leveraged.

The data centres they're building are used for AI, making this a good way to play AI. Wait for a pullback given its recent rise.
