Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 66 days.
The thesis — published July 6, 2025
Oracle jumped after winning a huge cloud deal that could bring in $30 billion a year starting 2028. Excitement among investors is very high and trading activity shows many more buyers than usual, but the stock is now pricey, sitting roughly 25 % above its recent average price. A slide back to $215-$225 would make the chance of gaining up to $265 more attractive, backed by its $98 billion order book.
Primary drivers
- Huge $30 billion-a-year cloud deal sets up a fresh and much faster growth path.
- A $98 billion order backlog means years of future sales already lined up.
- Trading patterns hint that big professional investors have been buying heavily.
- Past dips to around $220 have often led to quick rebounds of about 14 percent.
