# Wall Street Analysts Raise Oracle Stock (ORCL) Price Targets Ahead of Earnings

**Oracle (****NYSE:ORCL****)** earnings will be on deck on Wednesday, with the tech giant set to report fiscal fourth-quarter results after the close. The report is shaping up as a key test of the bullish AI thesis surrounding the stock, with the market eager for updates on cloud infrastructure demand, Oracle's AI backlog, and the pace of future growth.

> Cowen analyst Derrick Wood sees several tailwinds supporting Oracle as it heads into earnings. One is continued investor appetite to be "long compute names," particularly as Blackwell GPU hourly pricing has risen from around $2.75 to above $4.00 over the past three months.
> 
> Another is Oracle's expanded partnership with Bloom Energy, under which Oracle will procure 2.8 gigawatts of energy capacity powered by Bloom's fuel cell systems. Of that total, 1.2 gigawatts are expected to be deployed by calendar year 2027, helping Oracle bypass energy bottlenecks that could otherwise constrain data center growth.
> 
> Wood also points to more "constructive sentiment" surrounding OpenAI, supported by its $122 billion funding round in April, a confidential IPO filing, and growing confidence in its product roadmap as Codex AI narrows the gap with Claude Code.

All told, the analyst sees the combination of a "step-up in GPU capacity on-boarding" and lower operating expense trajectory as a "favorable setup," with consensus EBIT estimates likely to move "materially higher." Additionally, Wood believes FY27 capex guidance will likely come in below the Street's forecast of around ~$85 billion, while his estimate stands at ~$75 billion.

Given that outlook, Wood argues the stock's valuation remains attractive. At roughly 20x FY28E earnings, he sees room for a "return to upward pressure in valuations." Accordingly, Wood assigns ORCL a Buy rating while his price target goes from $250 to $300, suggesting the stock will gain ~46% over the one-year timeframe. (To watch Wood's track record, click here)
