Share this article

Jakarta, Gotrade News - Oracle is gearing up to drop its quarterly earnings report this Wednesday after the closing bell. Wall Street is watching like a hawk, looking for any cracks in the current artificial intelligence (AI) investment trend.


Keytakeaways:

  • Oracle's revenue is projected to grow 15% to $16.21 billion, driven by its cloud segment.
  • The market anticipates a volatile 10% swing in stock price post-earnings.
  • Concerns are rising regarding the massive capex and debt taken on for AI infrastructure.

The tech giant is projected to print revenue of $16.21 billion, a solid 15% jump from last year. According to Bloomberg consensus estimates cited by Yahoo Finance, earnings per share (EPS) are expected to hit $1.64.

Price Volatility and The Debt Trap

Traders are bracing for some serious price action after the performance announcement. Based on options pricing data from Investopedia, Oracle stock could see a wild swing of up to 10% in either direction.

However, investors are getting a bit jittery about the company's strategy of piling on debt to fund its massive data center projects. Yahoo Finance reported that Oracle's capital expenditure (capex) soared to $8.5 billion in the first quarter of this year alone.

Analyst Sentiment on the AI Outlook

Oracle's debt levels are now perceived as riskier compared to other tech titans like Meta and Amazon. Jefferies analyst Brent Thill noted that Oracle has effectively become the "battleground" for AI debt concerns.

Despite the financial risks, most analysts remain bullish on the stock's long-term growth potential. Visible Alpha data on Investopedia shows that eight out of 12 analysts still slap a "buy" rating on Oracle.
