Oracle Corp stock (US68389X1054) trades around USD 161.95, up 2.0 percent on September 8, 2026, with a market value near USD 457 billion. The move comes as The Motley Fool and Investing.com report new target prices and a tighter focus on the September 10, 2026 earnings date.

Targets move higher

Analyst updates are the main catalyst. The Motley Fool says Oppenheimer lifted its view to USD 275, Mizuho to USD 320 and Guggenheim to USD 400, while Investing.com also flagged Mizuho's USD 320 target ahead of the fiscal first-quarter 2027 report.

The spread is wide. It runs from USD 275 to USD 400, a gap of USD 125 that shows how much of Oracle's next move still depends on cloud demand, execution and financing.

Guidance stays central

Oracle's latest reported quarter showed revenue of USD 19.18 billion and earnings of USD 2.11 per share, according to MarketBeat. Revenue rose 20.6 percent year over year, and EPS beat the USD 1.96 estimate.

For the new fiscal year, MarketBeat quotes Q1 2027 guidance of USD 1.72 to USD 1.76 per share and FY 2027 guidance of USD 8.05 per share, with consensus earnings for the current year at USD 6.49. That makes the next report more than a routine update for investors.

Cloud backlog matters

Oracle's AI and cloud story still rests on scale. The Motley Fool says annual revenue reached a record USD 67.4 billion in fiscal 2026, while cloud infrastructure revenue jumped 77 percent to USD 18.1 billion.

That combination helps explain why the stock keeps drawing large target revisions even after recent gains. The market is now watching whether those cloud numbers can keep backing the higher valuation.

What investors watch

Oracle's product and platform focus still centers on database software, cloud infrastructure and enterprise applications. In this cycle, the key number is not the product list but whether cloud growth can match the latest guidance and target revisions.

Oracle stock last changed hands at about USD 161.95 on September 8, 2026. The 52-week range shown in The Motley Fool is USD 114.50 to USD 345.72, which leaves the shares well above the low but far below the high.
