Oracle Corp has projected that its annual revenue will rise to at least $104 billion (RM447.68 billion) by fiscal 2029, signaling strong growth prospects for its cloud infrastructure business. This optimistic forecast was presented by Executive Vice President Doug Kehring during Oracle’s annual financial analysts' briefing.
Oracle also raised its sales outlook for fiscal 2026 to at least $66 billion, up from its previous target of $65 billion. This revised forecast exceeds analysts' average estimate of $64.5 billion for 2026, according to a Bloomberg survey.
The Austin-based software giant, best known for its database software, is aggressively expanding its presence in the cloud infrastructure market—a space where it competes with Amazon.com Inc, Microsoft Corp, and Alphabet Inc's Google by renting out computing power and storage. Oracle's cloud platform has gained recognition for its performance with generative artificial intelligence (AI) workloads, with notable customers including Reka and Elon Musk’s xAI.
Following the announcement, Oracle’s shares surged by about 5% in extended trading. The company has been one of the top-performing software stocks this year, with a rally of 53% through Thursday’s close.
Oracle has also made strategic deals with its larger cloud infrastructure rivals to facilitate the integration of its database software on their platforms. Despite the push to the cloud, most of Oracle’s database customers have yet to make the transition. Kehring highlighted that moving these on-premise database customers to the cloud will be a key driver of Oracle's future revenue growth.
