Oracle has a well established and wide-ranging business. It is the world #2 in ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software behind German firm SAP, which is used by companies to keep track of finances, supply chain, inventory, HR, etc. It is also the #1 database vendor with its huge bet on relational databases and is gaining ground in AI after it acquired GenAI.

Despite a slow start to the year, ORCL has a solid pipeline of new products and services that should drive future growth. The company’s leadership team is experienced and talented.
