Oracle's stock soared nearly 4% after a wave of bullish analyst upgrades, strong cloud momentum, and speculation over TikTok’s future in the U.S.
Key Drivers Behind Oracle's Rally
Stifel upgraded Oracle to “Buy”, highlighting:
Aggressive capex into AI infrastructure and cloud
Strong remaining performance obligations (RPO) growth of +41% YoY
Forecasted cloud revenue growth of ~38% annually over the next 2 years
New price target: $250 (up from $180)
Cloud Boom Ahead: Oracle expects cloud revenue to hit $46.5B by FY2027, accounting for 100% of company revenue growth in that period.
OpenAI & AI Workloads: Oracle’s partnership with OpenAI and focus on generative AI infrastructure bolsters long-term confidence.
$30 Billion Deal: Oracle revealed a new cloud agreement that could generate $30B annually starting FY2028, according to a regulatory filing.
Analyst Optimism Builds
Mizuho Securities sees potential for Oracle to raise its FY2029 revenue goal beyond $104B, calling it a major stock catalyst.
They emphasized Oracle’s cost management efficiency and shift toward physical infra investments over manpower to scale growth.
TikTok Factor: Oracle May Benefit
Trump revealed that “very wealthy people” are ready to buy TikTok.
Oracle could be a key beneficiary if TikTok remains operational under new U.S.-based ownership since TikTok already uses Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
A non-AWS/Azure buyer would likely keep TikTok as a major Oracle client.
Summary
Oracle is entering a hyper-growth phase, driven by cloud dominance, AI momentum, and a potential long-term windfall from TikTok. Analysts are bullish, upgrades are in, and investors are eyeing $250+ targets.
