Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL, ETR:ORC) is reportedly experiencing thin gross profit margins on its business renting Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA, ETR:NVD) chips to customers, with internal documents showing a margin of roughly 14% on $900 million in revenue for the three months ending August 2025. This figure is far below Oracle's overall gross margin of about 70%, highlighting the high costs associated with Nvidia chips and the operational expenses of running large-scale AI data centers, including labor, power, and depreciation.
Oracle (ORCL) stock could be an excellent option to capitalize on the momentum. Why? This is due to its strong margins, low-debt capital structure, fair valuation, and positive momentum.
