Reason
Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan lowered the firm's price target on Oracle to $220 from $320 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Oracle's Q2 showed modest revenue and cloud-growth shortfalls alongside sharply higher capex and free cash flow burn, amplifying concerns about financing needs, tenant concentration, and valuation, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Management reiterated FY26 revenue guidance and addressed balance-sheet worries, but the stock's decline reflects softer cloud momentum, a large capex increase without near-term revenue uplift, questions around OpenAI's commitments, and uncertainty about the sustainability of OCI's bring-your-own-chips and leasing mix, the firm says.

Reason
RBC Capital reiterated a Sector Perform rating and $250 price target on Oracle following a report from Bloomberg claiming that the company is delaying delivery of certain data center capacity to OpenAI from 2027 to 2028 due to labor and material shortages. Oracle denied the claims to Reuters, and RBC said it confirmed this statement with management. Beyond this, management noted it remains fully aligned with OpenAI and confident in its ability to execute against both its contractual commitments and future expansion plans, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy lowered the firm's price target on Oracle to $230 from $270 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. The firm views the company's fiscal Q2 report as "mixed," with "modest" sales and operating-income shortfalls. However, Oracle continues to advance its position as one of the key beneficiaries of large-scale artificial intelligence infrastructure demand, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan cites higher execution risk from the multi-year trajectory for Oracle Cloud and "pressured" free cash flow forecasts for the target cut.
