ORACL (ORCL) has been steadily re -invented from the legacy database giant to an provider of massive cloud information technology designs and institutions. Its strategic axis towards artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the expansion of aggressive data center, has began to achieve concrete results, reflected in strong profits and increasing investor confidence.
ORCL stock rose in June and carried this momentum until July, driven by a series of upscale developments. Its cloud infrastructure works are gaining faster than expected, supported by increasing demand for the burdens of artificial intelligence work. The prominent cloud deal, which is expected to generate more than 30 billion dollars annually by 2028, has strengthened the company’s competitive position. Oracle is also a major player in the Stargate AI initiative of $ 500 billion, which increases its long -term importance in the Amnesty International’s infrastructure.
These developments have not escaped the attention of Wall Street. TD Cowen recently raised its target price to $ 275-a street height-highlights the cloud momentum moved by artificial intelligence. After more than 30 % in just one month, does ORCL have enough firearms to hit the TD Cowen goal? Or will it burn before the end of 2025?
I was founded in 1977, and has evolved into a technical power of $ 652 billion. The company, which is famous for its Oracle database, is famous for the company that provides solutions based on the group of the cores across industries. With a strong imprint in cloud infrastructure, hardware, and consulting, Oracle continues to pay the innovation of institutions, putting themselves at the heart of the digital transformation that AI moves in the world.
ORCL shares were torn, supported by the growth of prosperous cloud infrastructure and Ridwods Ai.

However, the Orcl stock does not come cheap. It is priced with 44 times forward, which extends significantly compared to the average industry at the present time.
On June 11, Oracle reported strong results in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2025, as it achieved revenues of $ 15.9 billion, an increase of 11 % on an annual basis (YOY) and exceeding Wall Street. Chair -not -GAP arrow’s profitability increased by 4 % to $ 1.70, overcoming expectations and reflects Oracle’s ability to transform higher growth into expansion of profitability.
The real engine behind this performance was the cloud. revenue from cloud services and licensing support increased by 14 % to $ 11.7 billion, representing 74 % of total sales. The revenues of the cloud and license also increased by 9 % on an annual basis to more than two billion dollars.
Oracle acquires momentum in artificial intelligence, as the main AI developers choose Oracle Infrastructure (OCI) and Supercluster solutions to train and publish their models. This momentum has received another batch of Oracle partnership with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) to merge GPUS GROSTINCE MI355X into OCI. This step is to double the efficiency of prices, which enhances Oracle’s position in the arms race.
Oracle waves are made with another wonderful development. Bloomberg Reports that Openai will rent 4.5 Gigawatts from Power Center Center from the company as part of the ambitious Stargate AI project of $ 500 billion. Although he is not named in deposits, the deal is compatible with the CEO of Safra Catz about the major cloud contracts.
Oracle went to the year of collapse, as she expected the cloud to grow to accelerate 24 % in the fiscal year 2025 to more than 40 % in the fiscal year 2026. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, Larry Ellison, does not refrain, describing Oracle as “the largest and most cloud cloud applications companies in the future in the world.” With the support of high demand, cloud infrastructure growth is expected to exceed 70 % next year.
Analysts expect Oracle Fiscal 2026 EPS to grow by 20 % to $ 5.30, followed by a 14 % increase to $ 6.03 in the fiscal year 2027.
The TD Cowen Derchak Wood analyst raised the ORCL price goal to $ 275 from $ 250, which led to the confirmation of the “purchase” classification. The upgrade came in the wake of Bloomberg Report that Openai expanded a deal with the company. Wood believes that this tremendous agreement opens the scenarios of “blue sky” for the growth of revenues, pushing Oracle to rare air.
Wood, on the huge scale of the agreement, which includes generating $ 30 billion in new annual revenues by the fiscal year 2028, stressed separately from the renewal of contracts. This can feed more than 50 % growth in a higher line in 2028 alone. The total value of the contract may range between 150 billion dollars and 200 billion dollars, which prompted the revenues of 2029 to 150 billion dollars, which is much higher than the current Oracle forecast of $ 104 billion. It can also reach the Wood that EPS may reach $ 15, which implicitly means an annual growth rate of 25 % to 30 % (CAGR) from the fiscal year 2025 to the fiscal year 2029.
In general, analysts have positive expectations for the Orcl stock, which gives the “moderate purchase” classification. Among the 35 of the ranks of the stock classification, the majority of the 22 analysts evaluate a “strong purchase”, one of them suggests “moderate purchase” and 12 analysts playing it safely with the “Hold” classification.
While the technology share is trading over the purpose of the consensus price of $ 222.44, the $ 275 TD Cowen goal suggests that the shares may reach 17 %.
