Alpha Score of 48 reflects weak overall profile with weak momentum, weak value, strong quality, moderate sentiment.
Oracle shares trade near the top of their $114.5-$345.72 52-week range, with a P/E of 24.78 and a 25.4% net margin. Revenue grew 17.3% year over year, and EPS jumped 35%. The Alpha Score of 45.4 is held back by weak momentum and value scores, but quality sits at 70.3. The company plans more job cuts after reducing headcount by 21,000 this year, according to recent reports. The layoffs come as Oracle borrows heavily to fund AI infrastructure. Investors appear to be weighing the cost savings against the capital spending. The next test is the quarterly earnings report, due in March. The market will watch whether the spending generates the revenue growth needed to justify the current valuation.
Oracle's 17.3% revenue growth and 35% EPS expansion are the headline numbers, but the quality sub-score at 70.3 is doing the heavy lifting for the Alpha Score. Net margins of 25.4% put Oracle well ahead of most tech peers on profitability. The stock sits at $345.72, the top of its 52-week range, after a run that has pushed the P/E to 24.78. Momentum at 33.1 and value at 35.9 are middling, and sentiment at 36.7 suggests the market is not chasing the name. The Inc. 5000 mentions for Logicbroker and Destination Concepts are not directly tied to Oracle's business, but they reflect the broader e-commerce and cloud infrastructure ecosystem Oracle serves. Next quarter's cloud revenue print will determine whether the quality premium holds or the valuation starts to feel stretched.
Oracle shares continue to trade near the upper end of their 52-week range, with the stock at roughly $300 after a run that has taken it from a $114.50 low. The P/E of 24.78 looks modest against the company's 35% EPS growth, and the quality sub-score of 70.3 is the standout in the Alpha Score, reflecting a 25.4% net margin that keeps widening as cloud infrastructure scales. Revenue growth of 17.3% is steady but not accelerating, which is the main reason the momentum sub-score sits at 21.7. The value score of 35.9 suggests the market has already priced in much of the AI database demand. Watch the next quarterly cloud backlog figure; a sequential increase would support the current multiple, while a flat print could pressure the stock toward the $280 support zone.
Oracle's Alpha Score of 44.3 is driven by a quality sub-score of 70.3 and a value sub-score of 43.5, while momentum remains weak at 15.8. The stock trades near the top half of its 52-week range ($114.99-$328.33) with a P/E of 18.34, a discount to many high-growth tech peers. Revenue grew 17.3% year-over-year, and EPS accelerated 35% on a net margin of 25.4%. That margin, among the widest in enterprise software, reflects steady cloud and licensing revenue. The next catalyst is the fiscal first-quarter report due in early September. Analysts will watch for cloud infrastructure growth and any impact from the recent Cerner integration. Valuation is reasonable if the company sustains its current growth trajectory.
Oracle trades near the middle of its 52-week range at a P/E of 17.85, well below the tech sector average. Revenue grew 17.3% year over year, while EPS jumped 35%, reflecting margin expansion. Net margin sits at 25.4%. The Alpha Score of 39.8 is held back by a momentum score of zero, but value (44.7) and quality (70.3) are solid. Sentiment is neutral at 55.6. The stock's valuation looks reasonable given the growth rates, but the lack of price momentum suggests the market is waiting for a catalyst. Watch for the next earnings report and any updates on cloud infrastructure spending.

On February 5, 2026, Oracle Corporation finalized the issuance and sale of 100 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/2,000th interest in a share of 6.50% Series D Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The offering was conducted under an underwriting agreement with a syndicate led by BofA Securities, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and J.P. Morgan.

Unless converted earlier, the preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock on the second business day following the final averaging period, which concludes in January 2029. The conversion rate will be determined by the volume-weighted average price of Oracle common stock during a 20-day period prior to the conversion date.

Holders also retain the right to convert their holdings into common stock at the minimum conversion rate prior to the mandatory settlement date, subject to specific conditions.
