Investing.com - Guggenheim raised its price target on Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) to $400.00 from $375.00 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The company’s shares have surged 144% over the past six months, pushing its market capitalization to $892 billion. According to InvestingPro data, Oracle trades at a P/E ratio of 72.5, reflecting high growth expectations.
The price target increase follows Oracle’s 2025 Financial Analyst Day, where the company outlined a five-year growth trajectory with projected total revenue CAGR of 31% to $225 billion by FY30 and an EPS CAGR of 28% to $21 over the same period.
