Market Realist•6 days agoHow Oracle’s New Revenue Reporting Structure Could Help
The launch of Oracle’s (ORCL) BYOL (bring-your-own-license) policy offers clients the opportunity to migrate their existing on-premises licenses to Oracle Cloud. As Oracle’s license revenue generated through the BYOL program did not fall under its on-premises or cloud business, the company changed its reporting segments in fiscal Q4 2018. Oracle now reports its software licenses under its new cloud license and on-premises license segment, and has combined its cloud SaaS1, PaaS2, IaaS3, software license updates, and product support into cloud services and license support. As shown in the graph above, the newly merged cloud service and license support business has grown at a compound annual rate of 2% over the last five quarters.

Market Realist•18 days agoWhy JPMorgan Chase Downgraded Oracle Stock
On June 14, CNBC reported that JPMorgan Chase analyst Mark Murphy wrote in a note to clients that “specific metrics in our large-scale CIO1 survey have arced over into negative territory, which makes us uncomfortable because the results of our CIO surveys over the years have been highly predictive,” adding that “Oracle spending intentions have only looked lukewarm in our CIO survey work in the recent past, but the data takes a dive in the current survey.” He indicated that CIOs stated that they are moving Oracle databases to Microsoft (MSFT) SQL Server, Amazon (AMZN) databases, and PostgreSQL. CNBC reported that, in the results of Murphy’s survey of 154 CIOs, “Oracle received the most indications for ‘spending contraction’ this year.” Only 2% of CIOs counted Oracle as their “most integral” cloud-computing vendor, compared with 27% for Microsoft and 12% for Amazon.
