Oracle Corporation shares are up 2.46% to $194.31 as the stock trades ex-dividend for a $0.50 per share cash payout, while investors continue to focus on the company's robust cloud and AI-driven fundamentals.
- Recent FQ2 2026 coverage highlighted strong growth, with total cloud revenue rising 33–34% to $8 billion and Infrastructure/OCI growth soaring 66–68%.
- Analyst sentiment remains mixed but generally positive, with UBS reiterating a Buy rating, while RBC Capital maintained a Sector Perform rating and set a price target of $195.
- The intraday gain is also supported by a favorable macro backdrop following weaker-than-expected U.S. nonfarm payrolls, which increases the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts.
