Derrick Wood has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Oracle’s strong position in the AI and cloud infrastructure market. Oracle’s management highlighted that the demand for AI continues to exceed supply, and there are no signs of this demand slowing down. The company’s infrastructure is versatile, capable of transitioning from training to inference workloads, which is crucial for meeting diverse customer needs.
Additionally, Oracle’s OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) is experiencing significant growth, with annualized revenues reaching $10.6 billion and year-over-year consumption growth of 57%. The expansion of Oracle’s customer-facing regions and its unique offerings, such as small footprint capabilities and Dedicated Cloud services, further strengthen its market position. Oracle’s competitive pricing, often 50% lower than major hyperscalers, and its technological innovations provide a compelling value proposition, supporting Derrick Wood’s positive outlook on the stock.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $202.00 price target.
