• ORCL Stock Price 24h change: -0.51%. From 190.65 USD to 189.65 USD.

While long-term moving averages (50-day and 200-day) remain supportive, the short-term trend has weakened after breaking below the $193 support level. The RSI is currently neutral at 48.15, suggesting the stock is digesting previous gains and awaiting a clear breakout or breakdown signal.• HSBC recently flagged Oracle as a top pick for the upcoming earnings season, noting that the company ended 2025 with a project backlog nearly 10 times larger than the previous year.• Oracle's U.S. joint venture reportedly secured a controlling interest in TikTok's U.S. operations, a move seen as a major victory for securing long-term cloud and data security workloads for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.• Oracle announced a collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy to accelerate AI initiatives, including the Genesis Mission, further solidifying its role as a key AI infrastructure provider.• The global software industry is entering 2026 as the "Year of the Mega-IPO," with major AI players like OpenAI and Anthropic eyeing public debuts that could spark renewed valuation premiums across the sector.• A global DRAM shortage driven by booming AI demand is causing memory prices to soar, potentially increasing costs for software infrastructure providers but also signaling robust underlying demand for data center expansion.
