Oracle Fell on 18 of the Past 22 Trading Days Oracle's stock price has finally stopped bleeding after experiencing its longest consecutive decline since 2021, but the depth and persistence of this downturn have still drawn significant market attention. Overnight, Oracle shares closed up 2.49% at $143.76, ending a previous nine-trading-day consecutive losing streak and marking the largest single-day gain since June 15. During the session, the stock price briefly touched $145.62, 3.8% higher than the previous close. However, this rebound fails to mask deeper underlying weakness. Since hitting a 2026 closing high of $248.15 on June 1, Oracle has recorded declines on 18 of the past 22 trading days, for a cumulative drop of 26.2%. **At the same time, bullish sentiment among Wall Street analysts toward the stock has reached a peak not seen in nearly 20 years, with the average target price implying over 80% upside potential from current levels, creating a stark contrast.** ## Depth of the Decline: A 56% Drop and a "True Crash" The intensity of this downturn is quite rare in Oracle's recent history. During the nine-day losing streak, the stock price cumulatively fell 24%, marking the longest consecutive decline record since December 2021. Looking at a longer timeframe, **since setting a historical closing high of $324.33 on September 10, 2025, Oracle's stock price has cumulatively fallen 56.2%; the decline over the past 52 weeks also reached 38.1%.** According to Barron's, what concerns the market even more is that Oracle's current decline diverges from the overall rebound in the software sector. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF rose for five consecutive trading days in the five days leading up to last Thursday, with a cumulative gain of over 10%, while Oracle moved lower against the trend during the same period. This divergence indicates that the drag on Oracle is not due to systemic industry pressure, but rather company-specific factors. **Capital expenditures and debt issues are the primary risks hanging over Oracle, and are widely regarded as important reasons for its stock's continued underperformance.** Analysts believe that Oracle needs external financing to support its capital expenditure plans, listing "financing challenges" as one of the key risks. The company's continuously expanding spending scale and accumulating debt are the core issues currently most concerning to investors. ## Analyst Support: 84% Buy Ratings, Target Price Implies 82% Gain Despite continued pressure on the stock price, Wall Street's confidence in Oracle is at a historical high. According to FactSet data, **84% of analysts covering Oracle have issued Buy ratings—a proportion surpassed only briefly in May 2011 over the past 20 years. The average analyst target price is $254.84, implying approximately 82% upside potential from last Thursday's closing price.** Among them, Mizuho Securities analyst Siti Panigrahi is the most optimistic, with a target price as high as $320; Oracle is also a key recommended stock for Mizuho. In a research report last Thursday, Panigrahi stated, "Oracle's end-to-end AI technology stack, spanning databases, infrastructure, and application layers, makes it a core long-term beneficiary in the wave of AI adoption." KeyBanc analysts also raised their earnings forecasts for Oracle last month, **citing "increasing confidence" that the growth rate of operating expenses will remain moderate,** and maintained an Overweight rating and a $300 target price, believing that "future upside potential stems precisely from this." Against the backdrop of the intensifying AI infrastructure arms race, whether Oracle can deliver on its growth promises while maintaining financial discipline will be the key variable determining whether its stock price can move closer to analysts' target prices. ### Related Stocks - [ORCL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL.US.md) - [ORCX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCX.US.md) - [ORCU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCU.US.md) - [ORCS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCS.US.md) - [IGV.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IGV.US.md) - [FDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FDS.US.md) - [MFG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MFG.US.md) - [8411.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/8411.JP.md) - [KEY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KEY.US.md) - [ORCL-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ORCL-D.US.md) - [KEY-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KEY-K.US.md) - [KEY-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KEY-L.US.md) - [KEY-J.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KEY-J.US.md) - [KEY-I.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/KEY-I.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Erste Group Bank Predicts Oracle FY2028 Earnings](https://longbridge.com/en/news/291402043.md) - [Indiana Trust & Investment Management Co Sells 5,690 Shares of Oracle Corporation $ORCL](https://longbridge.com/en/news/291784685.md) - [Oracle Stock Is Down 58% From Its Peak -- but Revenue Is Still Growing by Double Digits.
