Street Takeaways -
$ORCL Oracle Q4 Earnings ($201.26)
Overview:
• Shares (10.4%) premarket following the stronger EPS and revenue print driven primarily by services outperformance. Op margin 150bps above, RPO sharply ahead, CFO/FCF beat, Capex higher and deferred revenue missed.
• Mgmt. guided Q1 EPS and revenue ahead at the midpoint, while initial FY27 EPS was above and revenue affirmed. Additionally, the Co expects to raise $40B in FY27 through a combination of debt and equity financing including its previously announced $20B at-the-market equity issuance.
• Analysts leaned constructive following the solid overall print, highlighted by surging RPO, driven by accelerating AI and cloud demand. Several encouraged by near term capacity execution, with ~1GW projected to come live in Q1'27, almost matching the whole of FY26. However, FY27 gross margin impact was flagged, as the aggressive expansion plays out, resulting in a underwhelming EPS guide, pressuring the stock. While a further $40B debt/equity raise triggered some pushback, most see this as manageable given the record backlog and strong bookings momentum, with confidence in IaaS growth acceleration and infrastructure GM expansion.
