“All Eyes on OCI & RPO Build; Momentum Only Building From Here; ORCL reports 1Q on 9/9. We look for 10% cc growth (vs. 8% cc last qtr) & continued RPO strength. Our checks point to very strong OCI demand from ORCL’s largest customers, building momentum in multi-cloud deployments from the core base & strengthening Fusion migrations. OCI growth unlock in FY26 is still under-appreciated & under-modeled. Expect a strong OCI outlook for FY26. Reiterate Buy.”
