Oracle is scheduled to report earnings after Tuesday’s close. The stock hit a fresh all-time high $260.87/share in July 2025 and is currently trading near 237/share. The stock is prone to big moves after reporting earnings and can easily gap up if the numbers are strong. Conversely, if the numbers disappoint, the stock can easily gap down. To help you prepare, here is what the Street is expecting:
Earnings Preview:
Oracle is expected to report a gain of $1.48/share on $15.01 billion in revenue. Meanwhile, the so-called Whisper number is a gain of $1.50/share. The Whisper number is the Street’s unofficial view on earnings.
A Closer Look At The Fundamentals:
The company managed to grow its sales and earnings in each of the past four quarters. On an annual basis earnings have grown every year since 2019 (that’s how far the data shows on the chart below). That is encouraging because Wall Street tends to favor companies that are able to post consistent sales and earnings growth.
A Closer Look At The Technicals:
Technically, the stock had a big run this year and is currently pulling back to consolidate that big run. The stock is currently trading 9% below its all time high and near its 50 day moving average (DMA) line. Historically, the 50 DMA line serves as support for strong stocks. The bulls want to see the stock gap up after earnings and the bears want to see it gap down.
True Market Leader = Remarkable Stock
I would consider Oracle a true market leader (one of the strongest stocks in history). The stock had a huge run in the 90’s (dot com bubble) then over the years continues to lead and capture Wall Street’s attention. The company has steadily transformed itself into one of the most influential players in enterprise technology space.
At first, Oracle was know for its dominance in database software. Over the last few years, the company has redefined its business around the cloud, positioning itself as a critical provider of digital infrastructure for companies across many industries.
Evolving, innovating, and staying relevant is a key trait among some of the strongest stocks in history. The company currently offers cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP), human capital management (HCM), healthcare applications, among other products and services.
The ability to innovate has allowed Oracle to maintain relevance in a competitive field long dominated by the likes of Microsoft, Amazon, and SAP. The company’s recent growth story has been closely tied to its cloud transition. Recurring revenues from cloud software and infrastructure now make up an increasing share of earnings, providing investors with greater stability and visibility. To be clear, just because a stock had a big run in the past, that doesn’t mean it will continue in the future.

Pay Attention To How The Stock Reacts To The News
From where I sit, the most important trait I look for during earnings season is how the market and a specific company reacts to the news. Remember, always keep your losses small and never argue with the tape.
