Oracle's quarterly revenue beats estimates as AI boom drives cloud demand

  • Oracle shares jumped 7% in extended trading on Thursday after the software vendor reported adjusted earnings of $1.92 per share and revenue of $19.35 billion, both exceeding analyst expectations.
  • Cloud infrastructure revenue more than doubled to $7.4 billion while total cloud revenue soared 62% to $11.6 billion, as Oracle delivered 850 megawatts of data center capacity during the quarter.
  • Software revenue fell 3% to $5.5 billion, missing StreetAccount's $5.61 billion consensus, though Oracle secured a Pentagon contract worth up to $7 billion over a decade.
  • But Oracle carries $125 billion in debt with negative free cash flow since last year, constraining its financial flexibility despite the earnings beat; shares have dropped 22% this year.
  • For fiscal 2027, Oracle projects $8.10 in adjusted earnings per share on at least $90 billion in revenue, while guiding fiscal second-quarter earnings of $1.85 to $1.93 per share.
