Oracle Just Hit 121% Growth ☁️

Technology giant Oracle $ORCL ( ▼ 5.38% ) jumped 4.13% in after-hours trading after posting strong financial results on Thursday, driven by cloud revenue.

Financials: Oracle reported earnings of $1.92 per share in the past quarter and revenue of $19.3 billion. Both were better than expected.

Details: Revenue increased 30% while operating income jumped 57% in the past period.

Powering the Story: The cloud was the big winner for Oracle in the quarter. Cloud revenue increased 62% to $11.6 billion, including a 10% uptick in Cloud Applications and a 121% surge in Cloud Infrastructure.

Outlook: Oracle anticipates revenue growth between 30% and 34% in the current quarter. This includes Cloud revenue growing between 65% and 71%.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: This is an exceptionally strong moment for Oracle’s Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) business because demand for AI compute has turned OCI into one of the fastest‑growing hyperscalers, with a massive, highly visible backlog and a cost/performance profile that’s winning large AI deals.

Final Thoughts: Finally, some good news for Oracle investors. The stock had been down nearly 22% this year.
