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.

From scandal to strategy: Kyle Moyer's new role at Arrow McLaren Racing
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Moyer, one of the three Team Penske executives fired during an Indianapolis 500 scandal, has been hired by Arrow McLaren Racing and will be with the IndyCar team this coming week for a test session at Iowa Speedway. Moyer was hand-selected to join McLaren by team principal Tony Kanaan. The two won the 2004 IndyCar championship together at Andretti Global. Moyer was Kanaan's team manager at the time. At McLaren, Moyer will be the director of competition and assist Scott Harner, who is the director of race operations. He will also replace Kanaan as strategist for Nolan Siegel, freeing Kanaan to work on race day with all three McLaren drivers. Moyer's official start date is June 30. Kanaan said almost the entire industry tried to hire Moyer after his May firing at Penske, but the previous relationship between Moyer and Kanaan gave McLaren the edge. 'Kyle is one of the best strategists in the paddock, so talking about his qualities, not just about him as a human being, he knows a lot about racing,' Kanaan told The Associated Press. 'Kyle probably is one of the top guys of knowledge of IndyCar — he's been around it his entire life. 'And Kyle is a people person, he's that kind of guy that captivates people and people want to work for Kyle,' Kanaan continued. 'At the same time, he is very direct and he will call you out and he makes it so every person I've ever seen working for Kyle wanted to work for Kyle. That's something that I experienced in my career and that is probably the biggest thing. The respect that I have for the guy is unbelievable.' Moyer's popularity was evident when Penske driver Scott McLaughlin lashed out after the trio of firings ahead of the Indy 500 . Moyer was let go along with team president Tim Cindric, a 25-year Penske employee, and managing director Ron Ruzewski. Moyer was Penske's general manager of the IndyCar program and the strategist for McLaughlin's car. The firings followed the discovery that the cars of Josef Newgarden and Will Power had illegally modified rear attenuators; Cindric said seams on the safety part had been sealed for aesthetic purposes, but the rulebook clearly stated no alterations could be made to the part. It was the second major technical violation for Penske cars in just over a year and team owner Roger Penske was left with no choice but to fire his top three executives. Penske owns the three-car race team, the IndyCar Series, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500. 'Ultimately, those three guys are friends of mine and have done a tremendous amount in my career to get me to this point,' McLaughlin said in May after the firings. 'I guess you could say there's a sadness from my perspective. At the end of the day I drive for Roger Penske. I respect the decision. I understand the decision. We move forward.' Kanaan said he was shocked that Moyer did not have a non-compete clause and was available to McLaren immediately. He believes Moyer will be a help to Siegel, the 20-year-old in his first full season of IndyCar. Siegel heads into Sunday's race at Road America in Wisconsin ranked 21st in the standings. Moyer will eventually relocate from North Carolina, where Penske is based, to Indianapolis for his role with McLaren. ___ AP auto racing:

Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (NYSE:ZETA) is one of the Zeta Global Holdings rallied by 12.63 percent on Friday to end at $14.18 apiece as investors snapped up shares following a study that marketing companies are lagging behind AI execution vis-a-vis its ambitions. In its study called 'It's Time to Get Serious About AI's Business Value,' Zeta Global Holdings Corp.

Based on a survey of 300 North American marketing technology decision-makers, the study found that 62 percent of organizations described their current AI deployment as 'limited' or 'moderate.' The study was viewed by investors as a huge potential and opportunity for Zeta Global Holdings Corp. (NYSE:ZETA) to tap. 'Marketing should be at the front lines of the AI revolution, but many teams are held back by fragmented data, legacy systems, and skills gaps,' said Chairman and CEO David Steinberg. A marketing manager looking at the data dashboard of a marketing automation software showing successful campaign results. 'This study reinforces what we hear every day: marketers don't need more AI promises; they need practical, scalable ways to turn AI into better performance.'
