Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 28 days.
The thesis — published August 13, 2025
- Explain the cloud shift - Flag new wins - Outline a careful buy plan - Note near-term risks Oracle's stock fell and may be ready to recover as its cloud business grows. NetSuite will serve 40 public transit groups, and improved Oracle Cloud licenses make switching easier. Because profits and sales lag, begin with small buys and add only if price and buying interest firm up over the next 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- Stock looks beaten down; recent average price trend is turning up
- New NetSuite deal puts the software into 40 public transit groups
- Improved Oracle Cloud licenses make it easier for customers to switch
- Price action is firming even while profits and sales remain soft
