Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is set to release its FQ4’18 report tonight after the U.S. market closes. The Estimize consensus predicts an EPS of $0.96, which would provide a year-over-year growth rate of 6%. Wall Street’s EPS prediction for the upcoming quarter comes in lower at $0.94. Estimize projects Oracle’s revenue to be $11.235B, which is slightly lower than Wall Street’s estimate of $11.195B. Estimize’s projection would demonstrate a 2% year-over-year growth rate of revenue. Additionally, Oracle’s Cloud Service Revenue Expectations are estimated to come in at $1.227B, which would display a 27% year of year growth rate.
Oracle’s performance predictions are not as positive as they were in previous quarters. With companies like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) leading in the cloud arena, investors are less likely to favor Oracle. Low expectations of Oracle stock have driven down its valuation and price; however few believe that this stunt in growth is permanent. Oracle has announced a new program called Oracle Soar, which is designed to facilitate the transition to using cloud, which will allow room for Oracle to gain speed and grow.
