Oracle Shares spiked 27% in extensive trade on Tuesday after the database software maker indicated hefty growth prospects as a result of new cloud contracts, even because the profit and income missed estimates.
This is how the company did compared to LSEG -Consensus:
- Profit per share: $ 1.47 adapted versus $ 1.48 expected
- Gain: $ 14.93 billion versus $ 15.04 billion expected
Turnover increased by 12% of $ 13.3 billion a year earlier during the quarter, which ended on 31 August, according to a statement. The net result was approximately at $ 2.93 billion, or $ 1.01 per share, compared to $ 2.93 billion, or $ 1.03 per share, in the same quarter last year.
Oracle said that the remaining performance obligations, a benchmark for contracted income that has not yet been included, increased to $ 455 billion, an increase of 359% compared to a year earlier. During the quarter, OpenAI said it had signed an agreement with Oracle to develop 4.5 gigawatts of the American data center capacity.
In addition to larger cloud providers such as such as MicrosoftOracle is one of the big winners of the artificial intelligence tree, because of its cloud infrastructure activities and its access to Nvidia Graphic processing units, or GPUs, required for large workloads. CEO Safra Catz said in the statement that the company signed four contracts of millions of dollars with three different customers in the quarter.
Oracle Cloud Rival also said in the quarter Google’s Gemini AI models would become available on the cloud infrastructure of Oracle.
Oracle shares reached a record last month and increased by 45% in 2025 from the end of Tuesday, while the S&P 500 index has won 11%.
A profit of 22% or better on Wednesday would be the best day before the shares since the DOT-Com-Boom of 1999 and the third Sharpest meeting ever. It would also elevate the market capitalization of the company than $ 800 billion.
In the statement, Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, chairman and technology head, said that the company will present an Oracle AI database service in October that makes AI models of OpenAI and other companies on customer data in Oracle databases. The effort would deepen the product integration of Oracle with OpenAI. In August, Oracle said it brought the new GPT-5 AI model from OpenAi to its cloud applications.
“Historically we do not deal with CEOs. Now we are treating CEOs,” Ellison said at a conference call with analysts. He also said that he is directly dealing with state heads, “because AI is so important.”
Oracle generated $ 3.3 billion in income from cloud infrastructure, an increase of 55% compared to a year earlier. The growth rate was 52% in the tax fourth quarter.
According to the statement, Oracle now sees $ 18 billion in the turnover of cloud infrastructure in the tax year of 2026. That would suggest a growth of 77% of the total of around $ 10 billion in tax 2025. The company called up to the annual amount $ 32 billion, $ 73 billion, $ 114 billion.
Kirk Materne, an Evercore analyst with the equivalent of a buy -rating on Oracle Stock, said in a note to customers that he had expected $ 108 billion in tax income from 2029 cloud infrastructure.
In July, Microsoft said it produced $ 75 billion in income from his Azure Cloud infrastructure in the last 12 months. Amazon Cloud income in the same period was $ 112 billion.
For the tax second quarter, Oracle called to $ 1.61 to $ 1.65 in adapted profit per share, with a sales growth of 14% to 16%. Analysts were looking for $ 1.62 in profit per share at $ 16.21 billion in income, which means a growth of 15%.
The capital expenditure for the new tax year will be around $ 35 billion, which represents a growth of 65%, Catz said about the profit call. Microsoft and other Cloud-Founded operators are used to allocating more real estate and equipment for their build-outs.
“This is in some respects, I don’t want to call it an asset light, such as from the financial world, but it is an asset-pretty light, and that is really an incentive for us,” Catz said. “I know some of our competitors, they love their own buildings. That is not really our specialty.”
