Citi Increases PT on Oracle (ORCL), Keeps Neutral
Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is one of the 10 software stocks analysts are upgrading. On June 12, Citi raised the price target on the company's stock to $196 from $186, while keeping a 'Neutral' rating. The firm believes that Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL)'s Q4 2025 results are incrementally positive considering fiscal 2026 demand. That being said, the company's near-term earnings and FCF estimates have been falling. A team of IT professionals meticulously crafting a large-scale enterprise performance management system. As per Citi, Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) posted a strong Q4 2025, while it saw modest bookings growth. However, this was overshadowed by a strong fiscal 2026 sales outlook amidst accelerating cloud, remaining performance obligation, and total revenue growth, added the analyst. Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) expects its total cloud growth rate, applications plus infrastructure, to increase from 24% in FY 2025 to more than 40% in FY 2026. Notably, the Cloud Infrastructure growth rate is anticipated to increase from 50% in FY 2025 to more than 70% in FY 2026, while RPO is projected to grow over 100% in FY 2026. Also, Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) anticipates triple-digit MultiCloud revenue growth to continue in FY 2026. Ariel Investments, an investment management company, released its Q1 2025 investor letter. Here is what the fund said: 'Lastly, global leader in enterprise software, Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), traded lower alongside the broader technology sector due to macroeconomic uncertainty and in particular, the near-term prospects for artificial intelligence investment (AI) spending. As a result, ORCL reported weaker than expected quarterly earnings results. Nonetheless, management expects double-digit growth for fiscal 2026 and 2027, citing significant demand for its cloud and AI capabilities. This supports our view that ORCL's positioning as the leading provider of database software and cloud-based infrastructure is entrenched, making it a key beneficiary of global demand for generative AI development.' While we acknowledge the potential of ORCL to grow, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than ORCL and that has 100x upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.

ROSEN, LEADING INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Reddit, Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
NEW YORK, June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of securities of Reddit, Inc. (NYSE: RDDT) between October 29, 2024 and May 20, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'). A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 18, 2025. SO WHAT: If you purchased Reddit securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Reddit class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 18, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) changes in Google Search's algorithm and features like AI Overview were causing users to stop their query on Google search; (2) these algorithm changes were materially different than prior instances of reduced traffic to the Reddit website; (3) defendants were aware that the increase in the query term 'Reddit' on search engines was because users were getting the sought after answer from Google Search without having to go to Reddit, and not because they intended to visit Reddit; (4) this zero-click search reality was dramatically reducing traffic to Reddit in a manner Reddit was unable to overcome in the short term; and (5) defendants, therefore, lacked a reasonable basis for its outlook on user rates and advertising revenues. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Reddit class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising.
