Ticker ORCL
FQ4 setup—est OCI adds $0.9B q/q; 5th straight qtr of accel: ORCL's last guidance for Upside/(Downside) to Target 18.5%
$18B FY26 OCI revs implies $5.7B in FQ4; we model ~1% above OCI guide at $5.8B, but Price (06/04/2026) $236.36
in line w/ overall Cloud rev growth (model 48% y/y vs St 48%, guide 46-50%). Qtrly rev 52 Week Range $134.57 - 345.72
adds largely driven by continued capacity adds at Abilene & other sites. While historically
Market Cap (MM) $688,280
ORCL landed at low end/mdpt of guide, last qtrly print at high end could shift investor
expects a touch higher (ie, more likely 49-50% on Cloud revs). Enterprise Value (MM) $788,944
Average Daily Value (MM) $6,441
Expect capacity adds largely in line — 500MW+ going live this qtr: Recent mgmt Dividend Yield 0.0%
commentary with media suggests ORCL delivered more than last qtr's 400MW, in line
with our ests (for +0.5GW). We estimate ORCL reached 2.5GW as of May '26; ORCL has $ (May) Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 FY
now added (at least) 1.2GW in the last 3 qtrs alone. We still est that ORCL reaches 3.5GW EPS
by CYE26, requiring it to add another 1GW during C2H26 (est roughly evenly split 0.5GW 2026E 1.47 A 2.26 A 1.79 A 1.93 E 7.45 E
in each FQ3/FQ4).
