Oracle stock belongs to the technology sector of the stock market. You can invest in this asset by first studying the company's financial performance and analysts' forecasts. The corporation has a reputation as a stable software developer, so it can be considered a good option for long-term investment.

Basic information about the company

Oracle is an American software developer based in Texas, USA. The company was founded in 1977 and was originally called Software Development Laboratories. Its founders were Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates. Its flexibility and thoughtful business model allowed the developer to develop into an international cloud technology provider.

The company's IPO took place in 1986. Oracle stock sold for $20 on the first day of trading. Since its listing on the stock exchange the software developer's securities have gone through several times the procedure of splitting. Now the asset is available to retail and institutional investors under the ticker ORCL.

The company's activities

Oracle is considered one of the world's largest developers of database management software. Much of its development was originally intended to be installed on-premises. Later, however, the IT company adjusted to the changing trends of the software market and moved on-premises solutions to cloud services.

Over the past 10 years, the company has been actively working to expand its list of products and services. Oracle expands cloud databases, develops infrastructure, and introduces new services for enterprise resource planning and human capital management. In addition, the corporation is expanding through the purchase of new organizations. Over the past decade, the IT giant has acquired more than a dozen companies.

The latest news on the stock price

Buying new companies allows Oracle to expand its ecosystem with enterprise resource planning services. The software developer has also boosted its reach in the healthcare market through its 2021 acquisition of Cerner. The company has an already-built infrastructure and is designed to help Oracle accelerate revenue growth and boost adjusted EPS.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the technology giant spent $559 million to buy back Oracle stock. The company says it has now repurchased about half of the securities issued over the past decade. Oracle has also been paying dividends to shareholders since 2009, so $860 million was spent on dividend payments during the quarter.

✅ Benefits of investing in Oracle

• Despite the decline in revenue growth, Oracle's revenue growth rate is still growing. For example, revenue is up 4% in 2021 and 5% in 2022. This trend is due to the increased demand for developer software among corporate clients.
• Some investors doubted Oracle's continued organic revenue growth. However, in the first quarter of 2023, the company increased that figure by 8% year-over-year. Analysts noted that the corporation's organic revenue could have grown by 9% if it had not left the Russian market.
• The company follows trends and has experience in restructuring its business. Thus, Oracle managed to move from less efficient programs to modern technologies and build its cloud infrastructure.

• ❌ Disadvantages of investing in Oracle

• The company's revenue growth has stalled in 2019-2020, a phenomenon that has led many investors to fear a decline in share price growth.
• In the cloud market, Oracle faces competition from larger and stronger corporations such as Microsoft, Alphabet, and Google.
