Price Performance

Growth Potential

  • Industry Leadership in AI-optimized cloud infrastructure with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) being built out with customer demand for AI workloads, especially from large models and training tasks, as the core driver, placing the company in the AI supercycle narrative, where demand for compute, storage, and specialized cloud services is exploding.
  • Massive backlog provides long-term revenue visibility with the company’s Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) having already surpassed $500bn, providing visibility into future revenue and suggesting a large portion of future growth is already under contract, reducing execution risk and smoothing forward cash flow.
  • Multi-cloud strategy creates competitive differentiation with the company embedding its database and services inside AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, helping capture workloads and data regardless of where customers run other services, giving it a unique selling point versus hyperscalers.
  • Massive installed base of enterprise software and database customers gives it a built-in funnel for migrating workloads to OCI and Fusion Cloud applications, giving the company strong cross-sell opportunities as many existing customers are across mission-critical systems that are hard to move.
  • Strong and substantial cash generation which enables the Board to consider capital management initiatives such as large stock repurchases and or undertake further acquisitions which fill gaps in the company’s product portfolio.


Key Risks

  • Aggressive competition by other established players like Microsoft, Salesforce and SAP. Further, ORCL competes in a rapidly changing competitive environment whereby other vendors seek to gain share by disrupting large legacy vendors in offering similar products at lower price points (if not free such as PostgreSQL, Apache and Cassandra).
  • Deterioration in OpenAI’s outlook will have an impact on ORCL’s share price.
  • Any deterioration in the global economy and weakening of IT spending.
  • Market share loss in database business
  • Market share loss as a result of corporations migrating to cloud computing.
  • Potential strengthening of USD providing currency headwinds.
