What happened
Reached its target in 55 days.
The thesis — published July 17, 2025
Oracle shares are only 2% below their highest price ever. Orders for its AI-focused cloud grew 46%, so optimism is sky-high. The firm already has $65 billion of work lined up and plans to power future data centers with nuclear energy, easing power limits. Some investors prefer waiting for the stock to slip into the mid-$240s, which could set up a move toward $270 later this year.
Primary drivers
- $65B in signed future contracts gives clear view of next year's sales.
- Investor excitement is near record; AI cloud orders rose 46%, boosting story.
- Overall trend stays healthy even though one short-term momentum reading has eased.
- Using nuclear power may secure affordable energy for its growing AI data centers.
