**Implied Volatility / Movement:** The stock saw a significant upward move on Thursday and continued overnight.
Oracle Corp. (NYSE: ORCL) shares saw a notable surge, climbing 5.7% during Thursday's regular session and adding another 1.2% in overnight trading. This upward momentum is largely attributed to an expanded collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise ($HPE+WL) aimed at bolstering Oracle's AI infrastructure. The partnership involves Oracle deploying $HPE+WL Juniper Networking equipment across its global AI data centers.
As Oracle prepares to release its fiscal first-quarter results on September 10, investors are keenly focused on the company's cloud infrastructure growth, which surged 93% in the prior quarter. Expectations are for revenue to increase 28% to $19.13 billion and adjusted profit to rise 29% to $1.30 per share. A key area of scrutiny will be the conversion of Oracle's $638 billion remaining performance obligation (RPO) backlog into revenue, especially given large AI contract wins.
Retail sentiment on Stocktwits has turned bullish, with some traders viewing the stock as undervalued and loading up at the $120 level, anticipating a move towards $300. Despite a 15% rise last month, $ORCL+WL shares remain down 20.2% year to date.

AI Cloud Infrastructure
Oracle stock went up because the company announced a big partnership to use networking equipment for its artificial intelligence data centers. Wall Street cares because investors want to see if Oracle's massive list of future orders will turn into real cash when they report earnings next week.
What changed
Oracle expanded its AI infrastructure partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and saw shares rally ahead of its fiscal first-quarter earnings report.
Who wins / who loses
Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise benefit from AI infrastructure demand, while legacy IT providers risk losing ground if they fail to secure similar cloud partnerships.
Time horizon
Think in terms of the next few weeks.
