Oracle’s Fiscal Q3 Cloud Growth Metrics ‘Solid,’ BofA Says

Oracle’s (ORCL) cloud growth metrics for fiscal Q3 are “solid,” with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure growing 49% in constant currency, BofA Securities said in a note Tuesday. BofA said the growth “stands out” to it, slowing down “slightly” from 50% in the previous quarter “on sustained demand and execution.” “It is encouraging that strength is coming from newer solutions such as OracleDB on Azure and the high performance Alloy offering,” the firm said. “This bodes well for future growth.” For fiscal Q4, the firm said that Oracle’s cloud growth outlook of 22% to 24% is “solid” even though it’s below the 24% to 25% expected by analysts. BofA maintained its neutral rating on Oracle stock and lifted the price objective to $144 from $122. Oracle shares jumped nearly 11% in recent trading.

Oracle’s Quarterly Remaining Performance Obligation Metric ‘Impressive,’ Morgan Stanley Says

Oracle (ORCL.US) growth in remaining performance obligations, or RPO, in its fiscal third quarter was “impressive,” though investors will likely be focused on the durability of that growth, Morgan Stanley said Tuesday. The software maker’s total RPO surged 29% to an all-time high of more than $80 billion in the quarter, driven by “large new cloud infrastructure contracts,” Chief Executive Safra Catz said late Monday. Adjusted earnings rose to $1.41 a share in the three months ended Feb. 29 from $1.22 a year earlier, higher than the Capital IQ-polled consensus of $1.38. Revenue grew 7% to $13.28 billion, but missed Wall Street’s $13.29 billion view. The third-quarter RPO represented a $15 billion sequential gain following a $500 million growth in the prior quarter, Morgan Stanley said in a note. “While undoubtedly an impressive RPO result for the quarter, the key question for investors likely turns to the durability of that
