Citizens maintained a Market Outperform rating and a USD 285.00 price target for Oracle stock on October 2, 2026, according to Investing.com. The target contrasts with Oracle's EUR 125.85 Lang & Schwarz price, while the latest operating figures show why cloud expansion remains central to the valuation debate.
Cloud growth sets the benchmark
Oracle reported USD 19.3 billion of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, up 30.00 percent from the prior-year quarter, in its September 10, 2026 release. The company generated USD 6.7 billion of GAAP operating income, up 57.00 percent, and USD 1.56 of GAAP earnings per share, up 55.00 percent, according to Oracle.
Cloud revenue rose 62.00 percent to USD 11.6 billion in the same quarter. Cloud Infrastructure revenue increased 121.00 percent to USD 7.4 billion, while Cloud Applications revenue advanced 10.00 percent to USD 4.2 billion, according to Oracle.
Backlog meets funding pressure
Remaining performance obligations reached USD 664.0 billion, an increase of USD 209.0 billion year over year, as Oracle booked more than USD 30.0 billion of additional AI cloud contracts in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Operating cash flow reached USD 23.0 billion, up 184.00 percent, while free cash flow was negative USD 5.0 billion because of continued cloud infrastructure investment.
Oracle's fiscal 2027 outlook calls for at least USD 90.0 billion of revenue and USD 8.10 of non-GAAP earnings per share. For the second quarter of fiscal 2027, the company expects revenue growth of 30.00 percent to 34.00 percent and cloud revenue growth of 65.00 percent to 71.00 percent in US dollars, according to Oracle.
