The thesis — published July 4, 2025
Oracle jumped 40% after landing the OpenAI 'Stargate' cloud deal. Each rally this year has cooled to about $224-$232, the recent average price zone, before climbing again. Broker TD Cowen now sees the stock at $275, pointing to possible 2029 sales of $150 B. Trading signals show buyers still dominate, and heavy volume hints at strong demand. We expect a normal 5-8% pullback toward $224-$232, then a move to roughly $265 as higher forecasts roll in over the next three months.
Primary drivers
- OpenAI deal should bring steady, high-profit cloud income for many years.
- Broker TD Cowen raised its goal to $275, likely prompting more earnings boosts.
- Strong buying momentum shows the uptrend is healthy and still drawing interest.
- Each pullback to the recent average price has led to about 12% gains in 2 months.
