Mesut Dogan/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCL ) has been around for almost 50 years, and for the most part, the company has made its money selling database software and enterprise software tools to corporations. That was its bread and butter, and it worked pretty well, but the business shifted recently. Over the past couple of years, Oracle has gone all in on cloud AI infrastructure with tens of billions of dollars invested in the buildout. That would have sounded unusual not so long ago, but now, the most recent earnings release started to paint a picture of exactly what the bet looks like up close- a surging demand and a backlog so large it almost seems made up. With that, and everything else mentioned below, my Buy rating for Oracle remains in place. Where does Oracle stock stand today? Seeking Alpha At the time of this publication, Oracle is trading at around $164 per share. Year-to-date, the stock has been down roughly 16%, but over the past 12 months, it’s up about 16%. That sounds pretty decent until you realize ORCL stock peaked over $345 back in September 2025. Looking at the 52-week range, the stock has traded as low as $134.57 and as high as $345.72, so it has been cut nearly in half from the 2025 rally. As a result, Oracle’s forward P/E (GAAP) now sits at ~28x , or about 10.5% below the sector median of almost 34x, so it has moved into potentially undervalued territory after all the sell-off, which also represents a compelling entry point, in my view, for investors with horizons of three years or more. Going back, what happened to Oracle? Why did the stock fall so far? Well, a few factors created what I’d call a perfect storm. For example, during its second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings released back in December, the company revealed it had spent $12 billion on capital expenditures in just that one quarter, which spooked the market. As if that wasn’t enough, management also raised its full-year spending forecast by $15 bil...

asiandelight/iStock via Getty Images Investment Thesis This article is part of my Hard Assets Weekly series , where I bring valuable insights to the readers. In this article I will share my perceptions about an unprecedented scenario: the oil price is above $100 (which suggests that inflation will rise), but the S&P 500 is reaching a new all-time high. So my verdict is the market is indicating that the US will leave the war stronger than it entered. Context Unfortunately, the Iran war has completed two months. The negotiations are occurring, but President Trump rejected the Iranian proposal to end the war and told aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran. The strategy is to suffocate Iran; after all, Iran's current account surplus is very dependent on its oil and gas trade balance. Iran's Account Balance (IIF) In the graph below, the data really suggests that the transit in the strait reduced sharply to one or two vessels per day. Hormuz Inbound Transit (Bloomberg) The consequences were predictable: oil prices spiked again. But this did not prevent the S&P 500 from reaching a new all-time high. How is this possible? The answer is simple: the market is indicating that the US will increase its competitive advantages after the war. Crude Oil Prices (SA) Charts Confirming US Strength The global oil inventory is facing a dramatic disruption. The reduction in April reached 10.9 million barrels per day, the worst since 2017. Even with a recovery, oil inventories will take time to normalize. This disruption also hit Asia (ex-China). The figure below suggests that April marked a huge fall in onshore crude stocks, contrasting with the trend seen in 2025 and 2024. Asia (ex-China) onshore crude inventories (Kayrson, ESA) Maybe you are asking yourself, what about China? Well, China is aggressively hit by this oil market disruption. As an example, almost 50% of the oil imported by China was coming from Venezuela and through the Strait of Hormuz. The situation is hard bec...
