Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 44 days.
The thesis — published July 28, 2025
Oracle’s push into AI cloud services was validated on 27 Jul by a power-supply deal and praise from UBS. Investor enthusiasm is sky-high and trading is about one-third heavier than normal, signaling strong buying, yet the stock sits only slightly above its recent average price. If cloud sales keep climbing close to 30% a year, shares might rise about 18% to $290 over the next three months.
Primary drivers
- Very upbeat mood (score 98) as investors see rising demand for Oracle’s AI cloud
- New power deal on 27 Jul eases energy limits and makes Oracle’s cloud stand out
- Share price and heavy trading both point to steady buying by large professional investors
- Company says cloud sales could grow about 30% each year, so the market may value it higher soon
