Brian White has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors tied to both Oracle’s strengths and its risks. On the positive side, he highlights Oracle as a solid enterprise software vendor undergoing a cloud transition, with generative AI initiatives and infrastructure-as-a-service momentum expected to support notably faster revenue growth and robust cloud expansion, especially in IaaS.
At the same time, he underscores that the shares already discount much of this optimism, with valuation appearing rich relative to current fundamentals, while aggressive capital spending plans pressure free cash flow and push leverage higher. He also points to an intense competitive landscape in cloud and AI, together with an uncertain macroeconomic environment, which, in his view, constrain the risk‑reward profile and justify maintaining a neutral, Hold stance on the stock.
White covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Apple, Salesforce, and Snowflake. According to TipRanks, White has an average return of 13.6% and a 62.93% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released on March 3, RBC Capital also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $160.00 price target.
