10 Hottest Large-Cap Stocks Right Now

4. Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL)

Return: -2.38%

Oracle Corporation experienced a modest decline this week, closing 2.38% lower than the previous week at $166.32 per share, mirroring the broader market trend. While trading volume this week (5.2 million shares) was below the recent monthly average of 8.85 million shares, a notable degree of buying pressure emerged near the $164.80 level, suggesting underlying support for the stock price.

Even though this stock has had its ups and downs over the course of the past week, it seems like investors have taken each opportunity provided to them to buy this share at a lower price and hold it for the long term, since analysts are still expecting Oracle to beat the earnings and grow further during 2025.

Oracle is one of the key players in the AI software industry, and this position allows it to accumulate profits, and even pay out a dividend of $0.40 per share, whose yield of 1% is above the industry average.
