Oracle Corp (ISIN US68389X1054) was trading at EUR 126.65 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 4:37 p.m. CEST, down 1.32 percent versus the prior close of EUR 128.35. On October 8, 2026, Mizuho Securities named Oracle a top pick and set a USD 320 price target, as Yahoo Finance reported.

Three events reshape the story

On September 10, 2026, Oracle reported fiscal first-quarter 2027 revenue of USD 19.3 billion, up 30 percent, and cloud infrastructure revenue of USD 7.4 billion, up 121 percent, according to Oracle. On September 30, 2026, finanzen.at reported that Oracle faced financing concerns around a 2.45-gigawatt data center. On October 8, 2026, Mizuho set its USD 320 target and made Oracle its top pick, according to Yahoo Finance.

What does the target mean for growth?

The target rests on a sharp expansion in cloud demand. Oracle's fiscal first-quarter 2027 cloud revenue rose 62 percent to USD 11.6 billion, while remaining performance obligations reached USD 664 billion, an increase of USD 209 billion from a year earlier, according to Oracle.

The counterweight is funding intensity. Oracle generated USD 23 billion of operating cash flow in the fiscal first quarter, up 184 percent, but free cash flow was negative USD 5 billion as the company invested in cloud infrastructure, according to the same October 8, 2026 report from Oracle.

Next dates carry financial weight

Oracle will pay a quarterly dividend of USD 0.50 per share on October 23, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 9, 2026, according to Oracle. The company will hold an investor day on October 28, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance.

On the NYSE, Oracle was last at USD 141.69 on October 8, 2026 at 10:45 a.m. ET. Its market capitalization was USD 408.1 billion, and its 52-week range was USD 114.50 to USD 322.54 on that date. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Oracle stock.
