About Oracle – Software - Infrastructure

Oracle runs a large business that provides technology and services to companies worldwide. It makes most of its money by selling cloud solutions — software that customers pay to use over the internet, instead of installing it themselves. This is often called "software as a service."

For example, Oracle offers Fusion Cloud, which covers things like financial management (called ERP, meaning software that helps run a company's finances and operations), supply chain management, and HR (human resources). Oracle is also well known for its databases — especially Oracle Database and MySQL. A database is software that stores and organizes a company's information, and many businesses rely on Oracle's databases as a core part of their IT systems.

In addition, Oracle sells licenses (the right to use its software) and support services to help customers keep their systems running.

Oracle has more than 140,000 employees and serves customers around the world. It also offers specialized products, such as Oracle Cerner, which is used in the healthcare sector.

The company was founded in 1977 and continues to expand its technology for computer infrastructure, meaning the underlying systems that power software and data storage.

What matters is when the curve starts to move. This is how shorting works: whoever shorts has borrowed the share and sold it, and to close the position again they must buy the share back. When short interest falls, shares are being bought back. So it is worth watching the trend, not just today's number.
The stock has a moderate share of short selling. Between 2-5% of the freely traded shares are sold short, which is within the normal range for most stocks.

What does Oracle do?
Oracle runs a large business that provides technology and services to companies worldwide. It makes most of its money by selling cloud solutions — software that customers pay to use over the internet, instead of installing it themselves. This is often called "software as a ser... The company belongs to the Technology sector, more specifically the Software - Infrastructure industry, is headquartered in United States, and is traded on the USA Stocks. See the key figures, earnings history and price development above to evaluate Oracle as an investment.
Did Oracle raise or lower its guidance?
Over the last 60 days we have not registered a guidance raise or cut from Oracle. The company can still adjust its guidance at quarterly reports or between reports — see the earnings history above.
Is Oracle making money or losing money?
Yes, Oracle is making money, not losing it. The company has a profit margin (the share of revenue left over as profit) of 26.4% — which is excellent. The operating margin (profit before interest and taxes) is 35.6%. At a P/E ratio of 22.3, you currently pay 22.3 dollars for every dollar of the company's annual earnings. A consistently profitable company is usually more resilient than growth stocks that are not yet making money.
Can Oracle go bankrupt?
The bankruptcy risk of Oracle is rated as elevated. Altman Z2 (a model for assessing financial distress) is 1.06 — that places the company in the weak zone. This is a probability based on the numbers, not a verdict — bankruptcy is not imminent. But the balance sheet is measurably weaker than average, so watch the debt, liquidity and possible capital raises. The Piotroski score (financial health 0-9, higher is better) is 5 — which is average. Debt relative to equity is 721% (high). Remember: models like Altman Z2 are statistical — unexpected shocks (fraud, a sector collapse, lawsuits) can always happen. Spread your portfolio.
Does Oracle have a lot of debt?
Yes, Oracle has elevated debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 721%. For the technology sector, anything above 120% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. Tech companies are usually asset-light and need little borrowed capital — anything below 60% counts as low in this sector. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector. Can Oracle service its debt? Can service its debt, but it weighs on the company — the interest coverage ratio (how many times earnings can cover interest payments) is 4.9x, and net debt equals 3.5 years of earnings (EBITDA).
