Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund stated the following regarding Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) in its third quarter 2025 investor letter:
“Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is a leader in the enterprise software market with a strong market position in database, infrastructure and application software, and cloud-based software and services. We believe the company’s competitive advantages include its large and experienced direct sales force, a founder-driven management team that reinvests relentlessly to maintain a leading intellectual property (IP) portfolio and differentiated product suite, and a large installed base of clients with high switching costs where it consistently achieves renewal and retention rates in the mid-90% range. We believe Oracle is well positioned to benefit from the continuing growth in data storage and enterprise application software, as well as the shift to cloud-based solutions.
A fund holding since inception, Oracle reported fundamentally strong quarterly financial results that were generally above management guidance but mixed with respect to near term consensus expectations. However, the company reported that remaining performance obligation (RPO) bookings, a forward-looking measure of revenue, grew 359% year over year to $455 billion, which was almost three-times greater than consensus expectations. T he company indicated that recently signed contracts with companies including OpenAI, xAI, and Meta contributed substantially to growth in RPO. The material increase in RPO provides long-term visibility into Oracle’s revenue growth, and Oracle is now targeting over $100 billion in revenue by the company’s 2029 fiscal year in its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) segment, up from just over $10 billion in its 2025 fiscal year, and we expect this business will grow in excess of 30% compounded annually over the next decade…”(Click here to read the full text)
