Oracle Earnings Could Set the Tone for Tech Stocks

Oracle Corp. will release its latest earnings report this Monday, which could set the tone for tech stocks this week.

ORCL trades at $113.61, and the market found support at a previous gap open after a sharp drop from the highs. That level will determine whether ORCL continues higher or moves back toward $100. 

Oracle reports its fiscal second-quarter earnings after the close on Monday, and the software giant will want to see more positivity from Oracle investors this time. The company’s shares lost 13% the day after it reported fiscal 2024 first-quarter earnings in September. Investors were concerned about slowing growth for its cloud-services business and a sales forecast below expectations. 

The stock has gained nearly 40% this year but has struggled since its September earnings report. Shares are down 10% from the highs of $127.42. Analysts expect Oracle to seize on the push by corporations into AI tools, which could boost cloud services sales.  

Overall, analysts expect to see earnings of $1.33 per share on $13 billion in sales for the November quarter, according to FactSet. That would be a 10% earnings increase and a 6% sales increase.  

Oracle’s earnings increased 16% year over year in its fiscal first quarter after 8% year over year for the fourth quarter. If there is another slowdown, investors could lose patience with the stock.
