Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 65 days.
The thesis — published July 7, 2025
Oracle just signed a huge cloud contract expected to bring in over $30 billion a year starting in 2028. This big win has pushed the stock up about 50 percent since May because many investors want a piece of the growing demand for artificial-intelligence data centers. The price feels stretched now, so waiting for it to cool down to the 225-235 range could give a safer entry before a possible climb to 270-280, or about 20 percent higher, if AI spending remains strong.
Primary drivers
- Huge $30 billion yearly cloud deal positions Oracle as a key AI supplier
- Strong buying has lifted the price sharply on the AI story
- Shares look pricey now, so a dip would offer a better starting point
- Recent quarterly beat and rising AI budgets keep mood positive
