Earnings Calendar (07Sep2026)
There are a few earnings of interest that include Gamestop, Oracle, Adobe and Kroger.
Let us look at Oracle Corporation in detail.
Oracle Corporation’s share price has fallen 31.8% from a year ago, but analyst sentiment remains constructive. Technical analysis indicates a strong buy view, while broader analyst sentiment points to a buy rating.
Based on a price target of $242.05, the stock implies potential upside of 52.44% from current levels.
Valuation Context
Oracle trades at a P/E ratio of about 27x, placing its valuation between the broader software industry and the wider technology sector.
From a valuation perspective, Oracle trades at a P/E ratio of about 27x, which positions it between the broader software industry and the wider technology sector. This represents roughly a 33% premium to the software industry median of about 20.5x, but about a 20% discount to the technology sector median of around 33.8x.Compared with major cloud peers, Oracle’s valuation is broadly in line with Alphabet and Amazon, both of which trade near 28x, and slightly below Microsoft, which trades around 28x to 30x. The current multiple is also close to Oracle’s own 10-year historical median of about 27.5x, suggesting that the stock is not trading far from its long-term valuation range.Taken together, the valuation appears broadly reasonable relative to Oracle’s own history and major cloud peers, although it remains at a premium to the broader software industry median. - Compiled by Gemini
Financial Performance (31 May 2022 - 2026)
Oracle Corporation’s financial performance improved meaningfully between 2022 and 2026. Revenue increased from $42.4 billion to $67.3 billion, while gross profit rose from $33.5 billion to $44.3 billion over the same period. Most notably, net income expanded from $6.7 billion to $17.0 billion, showing stronger earnings growth alongside higher revenue.
Profitability also remains attractive on a trailing twelve-month basis. Gross margin stands at 62.8%, net profit margin is 25.37%, and return on investment is 8.22%.
Oracle’s balance sheet also expanded significantly over the five-year period. Total assets grew from $109.2 billion to $261.7 billion, while total liabilities increased from $115.0 billion to $218.7 billion. At the same time, total equity improved substantially, moving from negative $5.7 billion to positive $43.0 billion.
Cash flow trends present a more mixed picture. Cash from operations increased strongly from $9.5 billion in 2022 to $31.9 billion in 2026, which is encouraging. However, free cash flow declined sharply from $8.5 billion in 2022 to negative $24.5 billion in 2026.
The company’s financing activity is also worth monitoring. Cash from financing moved from negative $29.1 billion in 2022 to positive $40.2 billion in 2026, suggesting a significant increase in borrowing or financing inflows during the year. This is consistent with concerns that Oracle may have taken on substantial additional debt, potentially around $40 billion in 2026 alone. The pressure on free cash flow is reflected in the negative price-to-free-cash-flow ratio of -17.2, while cash flow per share stands at 10.97 on a trailing twelve-month basis.
ORACLE NEWS Q2/2026
From April to June 2026, Oracle hit a major milestone, reaching an all-time closing high of $248.15 in early June before market volatility began to weigh on tech stocks. The primary driver of news was the company's fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 earnings release on June 10. Driven by surging demand for AI infrastructure, Oracle reported record Q4 total revenues of $19.2 billion—up 21%—and total cloud revenue of $9.9 billion, a 47% increase. Additionally, its Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) backlog spiked to a massive $638 billion, reflecting robust long-term enterprise commitments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. To sustain this rapid AI datacenter expansion, Oracle outlined plans to raise $40 billion in fiscal 2027 while completing a multi-year efficiency push that reduced its global headcount by roughly 13% over the preceding fiscal year. - Compiled by Gemini
