Oracle Stock: Analyst Estimates & Ratings

Based in Austin, Texas, Oracle Corporation (ORCL) is a global technology company that provides cloud infrastructure, database software, and enterprise applications. With a market capitalization of approximately $374.1 billion, the company offers products that help businesses manage data, run operations, automate workflows, and leverage artificial intelligence to improve productivity, decision-making, security, and overall business performance.

Shares of this technology giant have significantly underperformed the broader market over the past year. ORCL has declined 54% during this period, while the broader S&P 500 Index ($SPX) has rallied nearly 8.2%. The trend has persisted in 2026, with the stock falling 40.9% year-to-date, compared with the index’s 7.4% gain over the same period.

Likewise, ORCL has also lagged the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV), which has declined 11.4% over the past year and 6.3% year-to-date.

On Sept. 10, Oracle Corporation reported its Q1 FY2027 results, beating analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings. However, its shares declined 5.4% in the following trading session. Total revenue increased 29.6% year over year to $19.35 billion, driven by 61.5% growth in cloud revenue to $11.61 billion. Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS) revenue surged 120.7% to $7.39 billion, while Cloud Applications (SaaS) revenue rose 9.9% to $4.22 billion. Non-GAAP EPS increased 30.6% to $1.92, while non-GAAP operating income climbed 30.7% to $8.15 billion.

Looking ahead, Oracle raised its full-year fiscal 2027 non-GAAP EPS guidance to $8.10 from $8.05 while reaffirming its revenue outlook of at least $90 billion. For the second quarter, the company expects revenue growth of 30% to 34%, cloud revenue growth of 65% to 71% in U.S. dollars, and non-GAAP EPS of $1.85 to $1.93. Oracle also secured more than $30 billion in additional AI cloud contracts during the quarter, contributing to a $209 billion year-over-year increase in remaining performance obligations (RPO) to a record $664 billion.

For the current fiscal year, ending in May 2027, analysts expect ORCL’s EPS to increase 6.5% to $6.72 on a diluted basis. The company has beaten the consensus EPS estimate in each of the last four quarters, which is impressive.

Among the 43 analysts covering ORCL stock, the consensus is a “Strong Buy.” That's based on 32 "Strong Buys," one "Moderate Buy," eight "Holds," and two "Strong Sells."

This configuration is more bullish than it was a month ago, when the stock had 31 "Strong Buy" recommendations.

On Nov. 5, 2026, UBS analyst Karl Keirstead reiterated a “Buy” rating on Oracle and maintained his $250 price target.

The mean price target of $242.68 represents a 110.7% premium to ORCL's current share price, while the Street-high price target of $400 suggests potential upside of 247.3%.
