Oracle Corp. Hits Day Low of $138.59 Amid Price Pressure

Oracle Corp. experienced a significant decline today, with the stock dropping by 4.57% and reaching an intraday low of USD 138.59. This performance contrasts sharply with the S&P 500, which saw a modest gain of 0.69% on the same day. Over the past week, Oracle's stock has decreased by 11.76%, and its one-month performance reflects a notable drop of 20.24%. In the context of longer-term performance, Oracle has faced challenges, with a year-to-date decline of 27.5% compared to the S&P 500's slight increase of 0.94%. Despite these recent setbacks, Oracle has shown resilience over a three-year period, with a return of 59.53%, although this is still below the S&P 500's 69.39% return. Financial metrics indicate a strong management efficiency, highlighted by a return on capital employed (ROCE) of 24.29%. The company's ability to manage its debt is also noteworthy, with a healthy EBIT to interest ratio of 5.12. However, Oracle's long-term growth has been modest, with operating profit increasing at an annual rate of 4.91% over the last five years.
