Oracle driver en stor forretning, der leverer teknologi og services til virksomheder verden over. De tjener primært penge på at sælge deres cloud-løsninger, altså software som en service.

The company belongs to the Teknologi sector, more specifically the Software - Infrastructure industry, is headquartered in USA, and is traded on the USA Stocks.

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 and the news overview 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 25.4% — which is excellent. The operating margin (profit before interest and taxes) is 36.2%. At a P/E ratio of 24.3, you currently pay 24.3 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 0.89 — that places the company in the weak zone. This is a probability based on the numbers, not a verdict — bankruptcy is not imminent.

The Piotroski score (financial health 0-9, higher is better) is 6 — 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 teknologi sector, anything above 150% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. 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 4.7x, and net debt equals 4.1 years of earnings (EBITDA).
