On a more positive note, on July 1, ORCL was added to William Blair’s Conviction List, an investment firm. The firm believes the company will outperform the broader market because it is likely to be one of the major beneficiaries of artificial intelligence. Hyperscalers have signed multiyear cloud capacity commitments with Oracle. This has boosted its remaining performance obligations and provided revenue visibility. Furthermore, with the AI tailwind, the cloud computing giant is well positioned for accelerating revenue growth. Its full-stack capabilities, including the OCI cloud platform, database business, and enterprise applications, support its ability to benefit from rising AI infrastructure demand.

However, the company noted that building new data centers may end up costing more or taking longer than expected. This could happen because of supply chain issues, government restrictions on data center development, or the failure of third parties to complete projects on schedule. The company believes its profitability could be affected if it cannot secure data center capacity at affordable costs or properly manage its infrastructure needs. The stock’s recent performance was already suffering mainly due to fears that its RPO depended heavily on OpenAI’s success. Uncertainty around data center cost will likely drag the price down in the short term.

Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) provides information technology-related products and services to enterprises through its main business segments: Cloud and License, Hardware, and Services.
