Wall Street predicts Oracle stock price for the next 12 months

2025/12/14 19:57

Although Oracle’s (NYSE: ORCL) stock price plunged on Friday in reaction to the company’s financials, a section of Wall Street remains confident the equity is likely to rally over the next 12 months.

As of press time, ORCL shares traded at $189.97, down more than 4% at the close of the Friday session. Meanwhile, year-to-date, the stock is up nearly 15%.

Notably, Oracle shares fell after the company reported second-quarter earnings that beat expectations but issued weaker-than-forecast guidance and flagged sharply higher spending on artificial-intelligence infrastructure.

Adjusted earnings came in at $2.26 per share, well above Wall Street estimates, driven largely by a $2.7 billion sale of its Ampere stake. Revenue rose 14% year over year to $16.06 billion but missed forecasts.

The correction emerged as investors focused on rising costs, after Oracle lifted its full-year capital expenditure outlook to $50 billion, largely to build out AI-optimized data centers and cloud infrastructure. 

Wall Street bullish on ORCL stock 

On Wall Street, 35 analysts tracked by TipRanks have assigned a ‘Moderate Buy’ rating to the technology stock. Of these, 23 recommend ‘Buy’, 11 suggest ‘Hold’, and one advises ‘Sell’. 

The average 12-month price target stands at $298.43, representing a potential upside of 57.09% from ORCL’s last closing price. The highest forecast reaches $400, while the lowest sits at $172.

Among them, Mizuho’s Siti Panigrahi on December 11 reiterated an ‘Outperform’ rating and a $400 price target on Oracle following the company’s mixed fiscal second-quarter results. The firm argued that near-term concerns around a modest revenue miss and rising AI-related spending do not undermine Oracle’s long-term growth outlook. Mizuho acknowledged weakness in the license business but noted cloud results were broadly in line, with revenue up 9.67% over the past year to $59.02 billion. The firm also highlighted management’s efforts to address financing concerns through “bring your own chip” and GPU rental models that limit upfront capital needs.

On the same date, Scotiabank’s Patrick Colville cut his price target on Oracle to $260 from $360 while maintaining a ‘Sector Outperform’ rating. The bank flagged Oracle’s decision to reaffirm, rather than raise, its fiscal 2026 OCI outlook. It noted that near-term earnings growth appears limited, with next-quarter profit guidance only in line with Street expectations. Scotiabank said the pullback does not alter its long-term view, pointing to Oracle’s scale, double-digit revenue growth, and strategic advantages in GPU-as-a-service, access to leading-edge silicon, and capital-raising capacity.

Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO

The post Aave DAO to Shut Down 50% of L2s While Doubling Down on GHO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave DAO is gearing up for a significant overhaul by shutting down over 50% of underperforming L2 instances. It is also restructuring its governance framework and deploying over $100 million to boost GHO. This could be a pivotal moment that propels Aave back to the forefront of on-chain lending or sparks unprecedented controversy within the DeFi community. Sponsored Sponsored ACI Proposes Shutting Down 50% of L2s The “State of the Union” report by the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) paints a candid picture. After a turbulent period in the DeFi market and internal challenges, Aave (AAVE) now leads in key metrics: TVL, revenue, market share, and borrowing volume. Aave’s annual revenue of $130 million surpasses the combined cash reserves of its competitors. Tokenomics improvements and the AAVE token buyback program have also contributed to the ecosystem’s growth. Aave global metrics. Source: Aave However, the ACI’s report also highlights several pain points. First, regarding the Layer-2 (L2) strategy. While Aave’s L2 strategy was once a key driver of success, it is no longer fit for purpose. Over half of Aave’s instances on L2s and alt-L1s are not economically viable. Based on year-to-date data, over 86.6% of Aave’s revenue comes from the mainnet, indicating that everything else is a side quest. On this basis, ACI proposes closing underperforming networks. The DAO should invest in key networks with significant differentiators. Second, ACI is pushing for a complete overhaul of the “friendly fork” framework, as most have been unimpressive regarding TVL and revenue. In some cases, attackers have exploited them to Aave’s detriment, as seen with Spark.

Third, the instance model, once a smart…

Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit

Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit

The post Shytoshi Kusama Addresses $2.4 Million Shibarium Bridge Exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The lead developer of Shiba Inu, Shytoshi Kusama, has publicly addressed the Shibarium bridge exploit that occurred recently, draining $2.4 million from the network. After days of speculation about his involvement in managing the crisis, the project leader broke his silence. Kusama emphasized that a special “war room” has been set up to restore stolen finances and enhance network security. The statement is his first official words since the bridge compromise occurred. “Although I am focusing on AI initiatives to benefit all our tokens, I remain with the developers and leadership in the war room,” Kusama posted on social media platform X. He dismissed claims that he had distanced himself from the project as “utterly preposterous.” The developer said that the reason behind his silence at first was strategic. Before he could make any statements publicly, he must have taken time to evaluate what he termed a complex and deep situation properly. Kusama also vowed to provide further updates in the official Shiba Inu channels as the team comes up with long-term solutions. As highlighted in our previous article, targeted Shibarium’s bridge infrastructure through a sophisticated attack vector. Hackers gained unauthorized access to validator signing keys, compromising the network’s security framework. The hackers executed a flash loan to acquire 4.6 million BONE ShibaSwap tokens. The validator power on the network was majority held by them after this purchase. They were able to transfer assets out of Shibarium with this control. The response of Shibarium developers was timely to limit the breach. They instantly halted all validator functions in order to avoid additional exploitation. The team proceeded to deposit the assets under staking in a multisig hardware wallet that is secure. External security companies were involved in the investigation effort. Hexens, Seal 911, and PeckShield are collaborating with internal developers to…
