Barclays says the firm wanted to see better than 8% Q2 revenue growth and double-digit Q3 revenue growth guidance from Oracle (ORCL). “That is exactly what we got,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm believes stock bears will question the big Q4 ramp to achieve the fiscal year double-digit growth guidance, but thinks there are “significant capacity ramps ahead.” As such, it keeps an Overweight rating on Oracle with a $212 price target post the Q2 report. Barclays believes the growth acceleration in Q2 and Q3 guidance are enough to maintain the story.
