This is notable since the stock has plunged by 56% from its highest point last year, while his net worth has dropped by over $43 billion this year to $204 billion.  The filing came a few months after he pledged to personally backstop the $40 billion financing that David Ellison made during his hostile takeover of Warner Bros Discovery. At the same time, he has pledged 346 million shares of Oracle as collateral to secure personal loans. **Read Also: FOMC Interest Rate Preview: Can the Fed Calm Surging Bond Yields?** The filing came after the company published strong financial results, which showed that its artificial intelligence (AI) business continued doing well. Its revenue jumped by 30% to $19.3 billion in the first quarter, with its cloud infrastructure rising by 121% to $7.4 billion.  Also, the cloud applications revenue rose by 10% to $4.2 billion, while its remaining performance obligations (RPO) rose by $30 billion to $664 billion. There are now signs that the RPO is starting to convert, with the company delivering over 300,000 GPUs to its AI cloud customers.  ## Analysts are Bullish on Oracle Stock Most analysts who commented on the company after its earnings boosted their estimates.

KeyCorp boosted to $285, while DA Davidson’s Gil Luria hiked to $225.  Analysts note that the company’s revenue growth is continuing and that it is starting to benefit from its large AI orderbook.
