Revenue growth and ai focus drive capital outlays, borrowing increases

Oracle reported $16.1 billion in revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, marking a 14% increase year-over-year, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share to be paid on January 23, 2026. The company is expanding infrastructure with a focus on AI data centers, which has resulted in higher capital expenditures and total borrowings of $108.1 billion as of November. Additional corporate actions include share repurchases and recent changes in institutional investor holdings.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, identifies persistent bearish pressure over the medium and long term for Oracle. He notes that despite a temporary intraday rebound, key technical indicators such as MACD and ADX signal weak momentum, with divergence undermining the sustainability of recent gains. Kharitonov is wary of the company’s increasing capital expenditures and the high total borrowings, seeing these as signs of risk. He also points to the low probability of further price increases, highlighted by the absence of weekly buy signals. "For now, I believe traders should remain defensive, as the downside scenario remains in focus until a clear bullish reversal emerges."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views Oracle’s expanding AI infrastructure and double-digit revenue growth as strong fundamental drivers. He highlights the positive tone from recent news, such as dividend stability and active share repurchases, reinforcing Oracle’s long-term growth case. Karapetjanc believes the market structure is constructive, with volatility creating fresh opportunities around dynamic support and resistance levels. He is confident that Oracle’s investments will unlock new value ahead, despite short-term market noise. "In my opinion, the bullish structure remains intact and further growth should not be underestimated as Oracle’s strategic actions gain traction."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, sees mixed sentiment with Oracle pinned between short-term support and resistance. He notes that oversold readings from intraday RSI and Bull/Bear Power set up potential for tactical bounces, yet trend indicators remain unconvincing. Turakhiya stresses that volatility is inviting but requires prudent risk management, as sideways action may persist. "I advise watching intraday reversals near $193.86 and $201.20 for nimble trades, because buyers and sellers are still testing control."

Volatility spikes as intraday rebound clashes with weak momentum

Short-term momentum remains mixed. MACD and ADX both signal weak bearish momentum on the daily chart, while intraday oscillators such as RSI and CCI reflect mild oversold conditions, with Stoch RSI hovering near neutral. The Bull/Bear Power indicator points to an oversold backdrop despite a strong intraday rebound, suggesting sellers dominated earlier, but buyers are now active. There was a modest positive gap at the open (closing at $189.58, opening at $191.07), and the current price is near the day's high ($199.32), reflecting high volatility and strong upward momentum into the session’s upper range. However, momentum and oscillators show divergence, as the daily rise is not fully confirmed by trend indicators, highlighting a tug-of-war between short-term buy attempts and lingering bearish signals.

Previously it was reported that Oracle shares are trading below key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, with momentum and oscillators presenting a mixed picture as daily MACD remains bearish while RSI and CCI indicate neither overbought nor oversold conditions. Resistance is highlighted by the Ichimoku Kijun level and recent price action remains anchored below key higher moving averages as the outlook favors sideways consolidation within a defined range.
