Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ:ORCL)

None needed - look at the EPS versus the ANAL- ysts whom dislike mr larry ellison
this stock should be in the 30 s and when the techies are riding high this stock should be in the 40 s
if lou gerstner was at the helm this stock would be in the 30 s today.

Oracle has doubled its revenue and profit since 2005 but its stock is still trading at 2005 price. Some of very strategic acquisitions include Hyperion, PSoft, BEA, Siebel, JDE, Stellent..... The revenue generated by these acquisitions are not reflected in the stock price right now.

Huge ROE, buyback, low price, slightly worried about the current ratio.

ORCL will likely outperform the S&P 500 due to business demanding better computer systems infrastructure, and emphasis on more automated systems. Business will look to invest precious dollars during the downturn, not to grow outside revenue, but to perfect internal efficiencies to give competitive advantages. ORCL can assist business attain this overall goal of improving internal information system efficiency. ORCL offers business a way to be efficient and thus more competitive.

Safe harbor.

Oracle continues to make good business decisions and good technology decisions. They are the de-facto database application for major DB applications. They are continuing to add additional application suites to their offerings and are breaking new ground left and right. They are sized good enough to weather any start-up issues they might have with these new ventures.

Too many shares outstanding,balance sheet should be used for stock buyback or to pay for acquisitions instead of stock.

Plenty of cash and limited competition

One of the fundamental companies of the IT infrastructure industry. ORCL should continue to do well over the next several years.

IBD

Oracle is still the preeminent database out there for large industry and government, it also has a strong consulting team. While Open Source is coming along, enterprise licenses are good, and so long as Oracle continues to work at those, they should maintain their lead, as enterprises like to have reliable, accountable support when software issues rise.

Excellent growth stock. Strong player in its segment

Great time to buy!

Tech has a little more to go and I for one have never been a fan of Oracles pricing structure and support.

orcl has been beaten down by the general market. However, it has a great position in the sofeware market worldwide and it continues to buy up companies.

I work in enterprise IT. Oracle is sticky. Companies are not replacing their oracle database systems within the next 10-15 years. Companies are storing more data, deploying more enterprise applications. the oss mysql/postgresql might be making headway on the edge of network but no one is replacing oracle. Also if you have a entire team of oracle dbas introducing a new db into the mix can quickly cost you.

good to by at this point

ORACLE has cash and is looking at possible aquisitions in this down market. The stock should recover faster than most others in the tech market. This should gain 40% or more over the course of the next year

Buying on a dip.
