On September 13, Oracle stated that it is now offering its MySQL HeatWave cloud database services on Amazon’s AWS cloud. Users of AWS will be able to run transaction processing, real time analytics, and machine learning in one service. 

On October 19, Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin upgraded Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) stock to Neutral from Underweight with a $70 price target, noting the company’s margins and increasing debt burden have largely played out. 

At the end of the second quarter of 2022, 69 hedge funds in the database of Insider Monkey held stakes worth $4.2 billion in Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), compared to 61 in the previous quarter worth $4.3 billion.

In its Q2 2022 investor letter, First Eagle Investment Management, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is one of the world’s largest independent enterprise software companies and has been reinventing itself for the cloud-computing environment, a transition pursued primarily through investments in organic research and design and smallish, well-priced acquisitions. That said, Oracle in June closed its largest-ever deal with the acquisition of Cerner, a designer of software to store and analyze medical records and other healthcare data.

Oracle took on additional debt to finance this all-cash acquisition and as a result plans to moderate its stock-buyback program to focus on debt reduction. Despite the weak quarter for the stock, Oracle’s operations remain strong; it reported better- than-expected results for its most recent quarter and issued upbeat guidance for the coming fiscal year.”
