The cloud computing boom is a godsend for big tech companies, and Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), with its recent government contract and strong Q4 earnings, is poised for a potential soar in stocks – a 21% increase to be precise. This is due in major part to its forthcoming role as one of the key players in the Neo Cloud Boom, as it successfully secured a $395.8-million contract from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. 10 Stocks That Can Still Skyrocket On The Neo Cloud Boom
As part of its agreement, Oracle will spearhead the creation of a new government HR platform based on its Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management software. This promising venture is expected to overhaul more than 100 separate HR systems currently in place, and will serve as a cohesive hub for managing workforce data and HR operations across federal agencies.
Alongside this win for Oracle came the announcement of a 21% revenue growth, from which, an impressive non-GAAP operating income of $8.6 billion was drawn. This signifies a growth rate of 22%, resulting in an increase in Oracle’s Remaining Performance Obligations (RPOs) from $553 billion to $638 billion in just one quarter, a clear demonstration of the company’s forward visibility into future earnings.
