Oracle (ORCL) is giving investors a fresh reason to revisit its cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) growth story after a brutal selloff pushed the stock sharply lower. Citi has now placed Oracle on an upside 90-day catalyst watch, maintaining a “Buy” rating and a $330 price target, arguing that the recent decline may have created an attractive entry point.
The bullish case centers on Oracle’s cloud business, where strong artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure demand could drive better-than-expected growth, pricing, and profitability. Citi also sees Oracle’s upcoming earnings report and investor day in late October as potential catalysts for renewed investor confidence and upward estimate revisions. With the company having added around $85 billion sequentially in remaining performance obligations (RPO) in its May quarter, it remains to be seen whether accelerating AI demand can help the cloud business regain Wall Street’s attention and give ORCL stock room to rebound.
