Despite a more precarious environment, we believe there remain tailwinds in Oracle’s cloud transformation, and there could be some sales wiggle room from Cerner.
Cerner – the health information technology company it bought last year for $28 billion brought in $1.40 billion in revenue this quarter. Oracle expects that acquisition to contribute even more moving forward.
White has a “buy” rating on Oracle shares with upside to $113 that represents a 45% upside from here. The stock is trading right at its 200-day MA in after-hours.
