According to Murphy, “Oracle’s view is that there is a long way to go in a growing [cloud computing] market.” The company also saw success in attracting a number of big-name clients, including social media platform TikTok, video-call giant Zoom, and Uber.

Murphy also liked that Oracle increased the number of external customers on Oracle Cloud. Compared to less than 50 percent in 2019, external customers now account for almost 70 percent. Additionally, Oracle is in the process of building eight new data centers to complement the 41 it already has.

Analysts have been optimistic about Oracle stock across the board. The consensus rating was Moderate Buy, while the target price settled at $97.19. There were some analysts with a more bullish outlook than this, with Cowen & Co. setting a $100.00 target price.

Oracle gained 3% upon releasing its second-quarter financial results. The company reported a revenue of $12.28 billion; a year-over-year increase of 18%. This translates to adjusted earnings of $1.21 per share, thereby beating analysts’ estimates of $1.18 per share.

The company’s cloud unit was its strongest performer, generating $3.8 billion in revenue for the quarter. In addition, the company attributed much of its growth to its recent acquisition of healthcare IT firm Cerner.

“Since the acquisition, Cerner has contributed to Oracle’s growth—and Oracle has helped Cerner improve its technology,” Oracle CTO and chairman Larry Ellison stated in a press release.

Electric vehicle innovator Tesla plummeted further during the same period after losing more than 6% during Monday’s trading. As a result, the company’s shares closed at their lowest level since November 2020.

News of Tesla’s decision to cut production at its Shanghai plant served as a catalyst for its falling stock price, particularly since this decision came as a result of staggering demand.

Oracle reported revenue of $11.84 billion compared to the $11.66 billion predicted by analysts. This marked a five percent increase from the previous year. The company did even better to beat the earnings per share predictions. It posted $1.54 per share in contrast to the expected $1.37.

Much of Oracle’s performance was driven by its success in the cloud infrastructure sector. According to the tech giant, the Infrastructure Cloud Revenue is up by 36 percent, resulting in $2.9 billion in total cloud revenue. And the company believes this is only the beginning.

“We believe that this revenue growth spike indicates that our infrastructure business has now entered a hyper-growth phase,” said CEO Safra Catz.

ORCL reached its peak in December 2021, when it traded for $102.63 per share. However, just like many other tech stocks, it has lost much of its value since then. Its lowest point was in early July when it slid to $64.05.
