Oracle faces earnings tonight with 79% beat probability despite 52% stock decline since last year's 36% post-earnings surge

Oracle reports earnings today with shares down 18% year-to-date and trading around $159, roughly 52% below last September's post-earnings close of $328. The stock surged 36% in a single session following last year's report. Despite the decline, fundamentals remain strong. The company guided first-quarter revenue growth of 27% to 29% and cloud revenue growth of 58% to 64%. Remaining performance obligations reached $638 billion, up 363% year-over-year, with $75 billion tied to GPU arrangements. Options traders are selling calls at the $150 strike, and implied volatility sits at 73, among the highest in the S&P 500. However, 36 analysts rate the stock a buy with a $241 target, and consensus expects earnings of $1.74 per share on $19.13 billion revenue.

Big Tech burns $13.5B as AI buildout sends Treasury yields to 4.79%

US Treasury yields near 4.79% reflect strong corporate borrowing for AI investments rather than economic weakness, according to analysts Joel Litman and Rob Spivey. They argue that context matters more than absolute rate levels. Companies borrowing at 5% to fund projects returning 30-40% benefit from current rates, whilst those earning less than borrowing costs face pressure. The analysts note that AI-related corporate debt issuance reached roughly $1.5 trillion this year, driving yields higher. Alphabet posted its first negative free cash flow since 2004, burning $5.9 billion in Q2 as capital expenditure hit $44.9 billion. Amazon swung to negative $7.6 billion on a trailing basis. However, negative cash flow can signal productive investment rather than distress, the analysts suggest.

Oracle and Adobe earnings Thursday: Which AI play offers better value?

Oracle and Adobe report quarterly earnings on Thursday 10 September, offering different angles on AI investment opportunities. Oracle expects fiscal Q1 revenue of roughly $19.13 billion, up 27%-29% year-over-year, driven by cloud infrastructure demand. Total cloud revenue is forecast to surge 58%-64%, with remaining performance obligations soaring 363% to $638 billion due to large-scale AI contracts. Adobe anticipates fiscal Q3 revenue of $6.69 billion, representing approximately 12% growth. The company recently reported AI-first annual recurring revenue tripled year-over-year to over $500 million, with record Q2 revenue of $6.61 billion. Oracle benefits from AI-related cloud infrastructure demand, whilst Adobe embeds generative AI throughout its creative, document, and marketing platforms. Investors will watch whether Oracle's growth justifies its premium valuation or Adobe's discounted stock offers better value.

Options traders bet Oracle could jump 8% as AI cloud growth faces capital spending scrutiny

Options traders are positioning for significant movement in Oracle shares ahead of the company's fiscal first-quarter earnings report on Thursday. The stock closed at $162.52 on Tuesday, with call options showing particular interest in the $175 strike price — representing nearly an 8% premium. Oracle's cloud infrastructure revenue surged 93% to $5.8 billion last quarter, driven by AI-related demand. The company ended fiscal 2026 with $638 billion in remaining performance obligations, indicating substantial contracted future business. However, aggressive AI data centre investment has strained finances. Whilst Oracle generated $32 billion in operating cash flow in fiscal 2026, free cash flow turned negative at $23.7 billion due to heavy capital spending. Investors will scrutinise whether AI cloud revenue growth can justify the significant infrastructure expenditure.
