Stocks fell Wednesday in Asia after a slide in technology stocks dragged Wall Street lower ahead of a key report on U.S. inflation. Stocks have been see-sawing in recent weeks amid the revived uncertainty about whether the Federal Reserve is done with its avalanche of hikes to interest rates. High interest rates work to undercut inflation by slowing anentire economy and knocking down prices for stocks and other investments. Still, traders overwhelmingly expect next week’s meeting for the Federal Reserve to end with interest rates staying where they are. But it’s been struggling since the end of July and has reported three straight quarters where its revenue fell from year-earlier levels.

The post-earnings sell-off in Oracle (ORCL) is overdone and a clear-cut buying opportunity, Jim Cramer said Tuesday. Still, Oracle delivered robust growth in cloud-computing services, making the stock's slide Tuesday "one of the greatest overreactions I've ever seen," according to Jim. We recognize the challenges facing other parts of Oracle's business, including Cerner and some of its traditional business software offerings. This mix enables us to view Tuesday's stock decline as another entry point, rather than a reason to walk out the door.

Oracle's revenue, which came in at $12.45 billion, was weaker than the $12.47 billion forecast by analysts.

Tesla needs as many Nvidia chips as it can get, based on CEO Elon Musk recent comments on the company's quarterly earnings call. Tesla isn't the first to work on custom AI chips focused specifically on the company's bread and butter. And that's coming from the head of one of the most cutting-edge AI companies on the planet. Nvidia chips can be utilized by clients for many applications, making it easier for them to accelerate growth.

This momentum is turning into bookings, and that gives me the confidence that our annual revenue growth will continue to accelerate moving forward." These bullish comments — taken together — made the softer fiscal second quarter guide all the more puzzling. But for now, we're chalking up the revenue growth softness to some lumpiness around one quarter to the next. Guidance Oracle's weaker-than-expected fiscal 2024 second quarter guide caused shares to drop a second leg lower after the closing bell Monday. Within that figure, Oracle expects cloud revenue to increase 29% to 31%, which at the midpoint is about stable from the first quarter.

Analysts at UBS struck a similar tone last week when they also upgraded Oracle stock to buy.

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.

Aug 29 (Reuters) - Ampere Computing, a semiconductor firm headed by ex-Intel executives that is planning to list its shares publicly, said on Tuesday its flagship chips will be offered by Alphabet's (GOOGL.O) Google Cloud service. The deal is significant because cloud computing firms such as Google are some of the biggest buyers of data center chips. Jeff Wittich, Ampere's chief product officer, said more deals with other cloud providers will follow later this year, but he declined to name them. Ampere's chips use technology from SoftBank Group's (9984.T) Arm, which revealed earlier this month in initial public offering filings that it owns a 6.8% stake in Ampere. Ampere's chips aim to use less energy than rival chips from Intel while doing similar kinds of computing work.

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.
