Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) shares were upgraded to Outperform from Peer Perform at Wolfe Research on Monday, with analysts assigning the stock a $130 price target.
The analysts told investors the firm is upgrading the stock based on accelerating top-line and bottom-line growth due to the OCI adoption and AI tailwinds.
"Our entire call is based on increased confidence and conviction that OCI will become the engine that accelerates top and bottom line growth for the company over the next three years," they said.
"Driven by architectural cost advantages, intelligent partnerships, and an early mover advantage in GenAI, we see OCI doubling market share (2% to 5%) by CY25."
The analysts also stated that the reason they are upgrading the stock before earnings is not because they are making a call on the quarter but because they see the potential for a solid 4Q report coupled with AI narrative tailwinds to drive a narrative re-rating.
Elsewhere on Monday, Evercore ISI analysts maintained an In-Line rating on Oracle, raising the firm's price target on the stock to $110 per share.
They said the firm is "expecting strong F4Q results and positive commentary around cloud businesses" from Oracle.
