Oracle shares jumped 21% in after-hours trading on Tuesday as investors focused on strong growth prospects despite earnings and revenue misses, according to CNBC. Oracle reported adjusted earnings of $1.47 per share on $14.93 billion in revenue, slightly below analyst expectations of $1.48 per share and $15.04 billion. Quarterly revenue rose 12% year over year, while net income held steady at $2.93 billion, or $1.01 per share, compared to $1.03 per share last year. Oracle has benefited from the AI boom through its cloud infrastructure business and access to Nvidia GPUs for large workloads. CEO Safra Catz said the company secured four multibillion-dollar contracts with three customers during the quarter. Oracle shares are up 45% in 2025 through Tuesday’s close, compared to an 11% gain for the S&P 500.
