Clearbridge Dividend Strategy discussed Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) in its Q1 2026 investor letter:
“In IT, we exited Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) and trimmed Broadcom. Our five-year investment in Oracle proved highly profitable as the company transitioned its business model from licensing to software-as-a service (SAAS). In the last year, Oracle went all-in on building data centers for AI customers, pushing its backlog north of $500 billion. In 2025, the stock surged as Oracle announced eye-popping AI contracts; we took advantage of that surge to begin exiting the position. More recently, investors have begun to question the return profile of these projects, given the hundreds of billions of dollars in required capital investment and their overdependence on one, single customer: OpenAI. Aligning with OpenAI seemed like a no-brainer two years ago when it was the clear leader in AI, but with Google’s Gemini and Anthropic’s Claude catching up to ChatGPT, Oracle’s concentrated bet on one player now seems questionable. We sold our remaining Oracle shares in the first quarter of 2026.”
While we acknowledge the risk and potential of ORCL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame.
