Oracle (ORCL) made almost a quarter more operating profit in its last fiscal year. Yet when trading closed on September 10, the stock sat around 53% under the peak it reached a year before. Rising profit and a falling price point to one of two stories: trouble the results have not caught up with, or a sound company that has been repriced. The question is whether Oracle is turning into a weaker business, or has just become a cheaper stock.
On sales, profit and backlog, it is growing faster, not slower. Fiscal 2026 sales rose 17.4% to $67.4 billion, about double the 8.4% pace of fiscal 2025. Reported operating profit climbed by almost a quarter.
The newest quarter sped up again. Oracle released its first quarter of fiscal 2027 after the close on September 10. Sales rose 30% to $19.3 billion, and adjusted earnings came to $1.92 a share. Both topped Wall Street's estimates. Oracle also lifted its profit forecast for the year.
The soft spot is Oracle's software unit, where revenue slipped in the quarter. Cloud infrastructure did the heavy lifting, and renting out computing power is the fastest-growing part of the company.
