In the three months that ended May 31, Oracle cloud infrastructure unit revenue jumped 76% on an annual basis, to $1.4 billion, roughly 10% of the company's total. Analysts at UBS struck a similar tone last week when they also upgraded Oracle stock to buy. We expect that, over time, Oracle's AI execution and growing cloud share should attract new investors to the stock and convince more analysts of its potential.

  + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( Hakyung Kim | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Oracle shares have surged nearly 48% in 2023 and close to 62% over the past 12 months. Barclays thinks the company is set to maintain high levels of growth in the near future as its tailwinds have yet to fully take effect. "OCI, partly fueled by emerging AI workloads, will be key to the database and overall story." He added that OCI is well-positioned for an AI tailwind due to its close relationship with Nvidia. Oracle was also one of the first cloud solutions providers to enter the market with Nvidia's software as a service products, Lenschow added.

Analyst Karl Keirstead upgraded the database management company to buy from neutral and raised his price target by $20 to $140. "We believe GPU supply constraints could be enough to drive outsized performance in Oracle shares." Despite its stock price run-up this year, UBS thinks shares still have plenty of room to grow. Keirstead noted four positive catalysts for the company: AI startups may only be in their first quarter in ramping up their use of OCI. Less than half of sell-side analysts rate Oracle shares a buy.

Investors need to know exactly where the threats to the world's food supply are coming from, what themes are beginning to emerge in this new reality, and how they should be investing. New threats to the world's food supplyIn her report, Chang highlighted the ongoing problems affecting the world's food supply: war, weather, and the weaponization of food. One of the most devastating recently implemented restrictions on food supply is India's decision to ban the exportation of non-Basmati white rice. The combination of war, weather, and the weaponization of food has taken a toll on the world's food availability. And within food innovation, JPMorgan analysts like Philippine food and beverage maker Monde Nissin (MONDE PM) and Thailand-based seafood producer Thai Union (TU TB).

"The main issue with methanol at this stage is increasing access and the scale of green production," Peter Lye, global head of shipping at Anglo American, said. Reuters GraphicsNetherlands-based OCI, which supplied green methanol to Maersk's first ship, can produce up to 200,000 tpy of the renewable fuel. Bashir Lebada, CEO of OCI's methanol and fuels business, said the vessel orders have given suppliers a confidence boost in advancing their green methanol projects even though production is "very small" now. Most green methanol projects are located in China, northern Europe and North America - far from major bunker hubs Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, creating a logistical gap. Within Asia, South Korea and China are set to increase their capacity to fuel ships with green methanol.

In an up-and-down market since our July Monthly Meeting, we added two stocks to our portfolio: an industrial name and an emerging cloud play. The business software giant is emerging as a cloud infrastructure name that has really come on as of late. For years, Oracle lagged behind the likes of Amazon Web Services, Azure, and Google Cloud, but the company hit a turning point when it launched its second-generation cloud infrastructure offering, called Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generation 2, or OCI Gen 2, in the summer of 2020. Total cloud revenue growth surged to 54%, with 45% growth for Cloud Applications and 76% growth for Cloud Infrastructure.

For a long time, as those three companies moved first and established large initial market shares in the cloud, Oracle looked like it was being left behind. But the turning point was when Oracle launched its second-generation cloud infrastructure offering, called Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generation 2, or OCI Gen 2, in the summer of 2020. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023 (the three months ended November 2022), Total Cloud revenue grew 43%, with 40% growth for Cloud Applications and 53% growth for Cloud Infrastructure. In the third quarter of fiscal 2023 (the three months ended February 2023), Total Cloud revenue accelerated back to 45%, with 42% growth for Cloud Applications and 55% growth for Cloud Infrastructure. Total Cloud revenue growth surged to 54% again, with 45% growth for Cloud Applications and 76% growth for Cloud Infrastructure.

But the lure for OCI and others of making ammonia with a smaller carbon footprint is a business with potential beyond the farm. is the question, and I think it's a good question," OCI CEO Ahmed El-Hoshy told Reuters, when asked why his company is betting on producing so-called "blue ammonia." But even with U.S. support, blue ammonia economics hinge on further government incentives. If utility premiums don't emerge, OCI plans to use its Texas blue ammonia to make fertilizer in The Netherlands, where the company has under-utilized its plants due to high natural gas prices. OCI's Texas plant, to start production in 2025, will produce 1.1 million metric tons annually.

Wolfe Research thinks software company Oracle has a strong growth story thanks to the generative AI boom. The analyst said Oracle has created a significant second mover "architectural and cost advantage" around its second-generation Oracle Cloud Infrastructure — which its competitors are unable to match. Notably, Oracle's cloud software has spare GPU, or graphics processing unit, capacity. GPUs are necessary to process AI functions and have seen a surge in demand as more companies engage in AI. Growth has also been strong over a 12-month period, with shares gaining more than 63%.

After the acquisition closed in June, Oracle has laid off more than 3,000 of the 28,000 original Cerner employees, one of the people said. According to his LinkedIn, Feinberg left the CEO role in September before becoming "chairman" of Oracle Health. After Johnson left, Oracle moved data and artificial-intelligence back under its cloud business. Internally, the face of the unit appears to be Oracle Health General Manager Travis Dalton, who has been in charge of all-hands meetings. Oracle Health is in charge of a contract worth several billion dollars to overhaul the US Department of Veterans Affairs' information systems.
It operates through the following segments: Methanol U.S., Methanol Europe, Nitrogen U.S., Nitrogen Europe and Fertiglobe. It will be a state-of-the-art facility at the forefront of blue ammonia production and is expected to come online in 2025 and produce 1.1 million tons of blue ammonia annually. This facility will combine nitrogen with blue hydrogen to create blue ammonia. It is considered "blue" ammonia because the carbon emissions produced from the hydrogen production process are captured and stored. Second, this blue ammonia will be sold through an ammonia terminal at the port of Rotterdam that OCI owns and operates.
Tesla wants to make lower cost electric vehicles, as a key part of its plan to fend off challenger. Still, given Tesla's delivery of roughly 1.3 million vehicles last year, it clearly has a long way to go to hit Musk's goal. The growing portion of Tesla's LFP vehicles have, in part, been the result of a deal it struck with Chinese battery supplier CATL in 2020. Tesla and the rush for lithiumA lack of supply chain controls hinders efforts to produce low-cost EVs. The company started to take steps towards taking control of lithium supply into its own hands.

Oracle hiring managers and recruiters have been told to fill roles in cheaper US cities or abroad. Filling roles in areas where talent is cheaper, especially outside the US, has long been a cost-saving strategy for Oracle hiring managers, current and former employees said.

Glueck did not directly answer whether the company was prioritizing hiring candidates outside of tech hubs like the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, and New York. Cities like Philadelphia, Dallas Fort-Worth, and Denver saw the highest growth rates for tech salaries this year.
