Investing.com - BMO Capital has raised its price target on Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) to $275.00 from $245.00 while maintaining an Outperform rating on the stock. The company, currently valued at $662 billion, has demonstrated strong momentum with a 72% return over the past year, according to InvestingPro data.
The research firm cited Oracle’s "durable AI demand" as a key factor behind the price target increase, specifically highlighting the company’s relationship with OpenAI as a contributor to expected growth acceleration through fiscal year 2028.
BMO Capital has introduced FY28 estimates ahead of Oracle’s October Analyst event, signaling longer-term confidence in the company’s growth trajectory in the artificial intelligence sector.
Despite the positive outlook on revenue, the firm noted that Oracle’s margins will likely face pressure due to product mix changes and elevated capital expenditures and depreciation costs in the coming years.
BMO Capital believes Oracle’s strength in revenues and RPO (Remaining Performance Obligations), combined with operating income growth, can support the stock, though the firm stated it prefers Microsoft over Oracle given "more stability in margins."
