Oracle Stock Climbs 4% as Jefferies Reaffirms Buy Rating and Keeps $360 PT

Oracle stock gained 4% in premarket trading. Jefferies has reiterated its Buy rating on Oracle stock with a price target of $360.00, following a comprehensive analysis of the company’s cloud strategy.

The investment firm recommends buying Oracle shares after their 15% pullback from post-earnings highs, citing clear evidence of the company’s market share gains in the artificial intelligence era. Despite the recent pullback, Oracle has delivered impressive returns, with a 96.86% gain over the past six months and an 82.21% return over the last year.

Jefferies believes Oracle’s upcoming analyst day will serve as a positive catalyst as management revises long-term targets, with the firm expecting fiscal year 2029 revenue targets to be at least 50% higher than previously stated.

Jefferies projects significant upside potential for Oracle stock, forecasting approximately 75% growth based on estimated fiscal year 2030 earnings per share of around $20, applying a price-to-earnings multiple of 25-30x.
