Oracle - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Oracle Stock? ORCL Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Tuesday, December 10, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these Oracle pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Oracle
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Oracle:

Recent upgrades from multiple analysts, including Citigroup raising the price target to $194.00, indicate strong market confidence in Oracle's growth potential.
Oracle's stock has a consensus target price of $181.48, suggesting a potential upside from its current trading price of approximately $175.54, which could attract investors looking for growth opportunities.
The company has received a majority of buy ratings from analysts, with nineteen out of thirty analysts recommending a buy, reflecting positive sentiment in the market.
Oracle's strong market capitalization of approximately $486.43 billion positions it as a stable investment in the enterprise software sector, appealing to investors seeking reliability.
With a recent price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 45.03, Oracle is positioned for growth, as this metric indicates how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings, suggesting confidence in future earnings potential.

Oracle
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Oracle for these reasons:

Despite recent upgrades, DA Davidson's price target increase to $150.00 indicates a potential downside of 14.05% from previous levels, suggesting caution for investors.
Oracle's current ratio of 0.72 indicates that the company may have liquidity issues, as it suggests that current liabilities exceed current assets, which could be a red flag for potential investors.
The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week range from $99.26 to $198.31, which may deter risk-averse investors.
High debt-to-equity ratio of 6.68 raises concerns about the company's financial leverage, indicating that Oracle relies heavily on debt to finance its operations, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
The P/E ratio of 45.03, while indicative of growth, may also suggest that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, which could lead to a price correction if earnings do not meet expectations.
