Is it feasible for Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) stock to achieve a price of $300 in the next few years? We believe there's a significant opportunity.
Oracle is undervalued at $150, with a fair value estimate between $173 and $180 per share on a 12-month view. Despite negative free cash flow and $162B in debt, ORCL's $553B RPO and accelerating revenue growth support a bullish, asymmetric risk/reward profile. Cloud infrastructure revenue grew 84% YoY; multicloud database revenue surged 531% YoY, with high-margin expansion opportunities from database and recent layoffs.
It's impossible to say whether the lows are in or not. However, I have a high conviction that revenue growth is only going in one direction: up. Eventually, I think the market will be willing to recognize this fact, and that's when I believe Oracle may rerate to the upside from the 21x forward EPS multiple. The main risk this year is execution, not funding. Delays in data center buildouts could push revenue recognition to the right and trigger a selloff.
