Oracle's stock on pace for best week since 2001 on cloud momentum
Oracle shares are on pace for their best week since 2001 as Wall Street cheers a strong earnings report and bullish comments on the company's prospects in cloud computing. The stock is up about 24% for the week, with almost all the gains coming in the two trading days after the company's quarterly earnings release. The last time Oracle had a better week was in April 2001, in the midst of the dot-com crash, when so-called dead-cat bounces were common. The prior quarter Oracle shares lost almost half their value. It's a much different company today, and while Oracle was generally viewed as a late entrant into the cloud infrastructure market, the company has found a niche and is seeing rapid growth helping clients operate artificial intelligence models. "Oracle is in the enviable position of having more demand than it can fulfill," Joseph Bonner, an analyst at Argus Research, wrote in a note to clients on Friday. He recommends buying the shares and lifted his price target to $235 from $200. Oracle rose to a record on Friday, topping $215. In the company's earnings report late Wednesday, revenue and earnings topped estimates. CEO Safra Catz said sales for the new fiscal year should come in above $67 billion, higher than LSEG's $65.18 billion consensus. "The demand is astronomical," Larry Ellison, Oracle's chairman told analysts on the earnings call. "But we have to do this methodically. The reason demand continues to outstrip supply is we can only build these data centers, build these computers, so fast." Oracle has been playing catchup in cloud to rivals Amazon, Google and Microsoft. In the 2025 fiscal year, Oracle's capital expenditures exceeded $21 billion, which is more than the company spent from 2019 to 2024. The sum should reach $25 billion in fiscal 2026, Catz said on the call. Google anticipates $75 billion in capital spending this year. Microsoft's target for the fiscal year is $80 billion. Oracle's client list now includes Meta, OpenAI and Elon Musk's xAI. They're among the companies that require the most Nvidia graphics processing units to train generative AI models that create text, images and videos in response to a few words of human input. Startups Baseten, Physical Intelligence and Vast Data are also cloud clients, Oracle announced this week. "We will build and operate more cloud infrastructure data centers than all of our cloud infrastructure competitors combined," Ellison said. Oracle shares are up 28% so far in 2025, while the Nasdaq is roughly flat. Among the most highly valued U.S. tech companies, the next best performer for the year is Meta, which is up 17%.

Why American Airlines (AAL) Shares Are Trading Lower Today
Shares of global airline American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) fell 5.4% in the morning session after Israel carried out significant strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, dramatically escalating fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East. This development has sent crude oil prices surging, as investors fear potential disruptions to global oil supply and a wider regional conflict. The conflict also fueled fears of higher operating costs for airlines and reduced global travel demand. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy American Airlines? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. American Airlines's shares are quite volatile and have had 19 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 17 days ago when the stock gained 5.1% on the news that the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +2.0%, S&P 500 +1.5%) as President Trump postponed the planned 50% tariff on European Union imports, shifting the start date to July 9, 2025. Companies with substantial business ties to Europe likely had some relief as the delay reduced near-term cost pressures and preserved cross-border demand. American Airlines is down 37.6% since the beginning of the year, and at $10.61 per share, it is trading 43.2% below its 52-week high of $18.66 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of American Airlines's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $635.21. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Now You Can Upgrade Your PC to Windows 11 Pro or Home for Only $10
Whatever your needs, from scrolling at leisure to gaming competitively or even staying productive at home, it makes a big difference to be running the latest version of Windows. You'll get access to all of the latest features and vital security updates, which is about to become all the more important with Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 in October 2025. If you haven't upgraded to Windows 11 yet, now's the time -- and we've found a way for you to do it on the cheap. If you've ever looked into buying a copy of Windows 11, you'll know just how costly it can be. Buy Windows 11 Pro directly from Microsoft, and it costs a whopping $200. Thankfully, there are ways to get the same software for considerably less. StackSocial is offering Windows 11 Pro for just $10. The catch? You'll have to use promo code MSO5 at checkout to score this low price. Act quickly if you're interested to make sure you don't miss out. This deal from StackSocial allows you to download Windows 11 Pro onto your laptop or desktop PC. Windows 11 Pro offers a seamless interface and supports professional-level work and multitasking. It also features DirectX 12 Ultimate, which provides better gaming graphics by utilizing your laptop or desktop's hardware to its full potential. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Windows 11 Pro also features BitLocker device encryption, Azure-AD, Hyper V and other professional tools that can help you run your business or enjoy hours of gaming. StackSocial is also offering Windows 11 Home the same price with the promo code, but we'd recommend opting for the Pro version while it's at such a low price. Once you purchase, you'll be able to download Windows 11 Pro and enjoy your lifetime license. Keep in mind that your computer must meet the system's minimum requirements or you won't be able to download the software. For PCs that are currently running Windows 10, note that if Windows Update doesn't let you install the free Windows 11 upgrade, your computer will not be compatible with this version, either. Another caveat is that you'll only have 30 days to redeem your download code before it expires. If it's new hardware that you need, rather than software, be sure to look through our roundups of the best laptop deals happening now. Why this deal matters Windows 11 Pro costs $200 when purchased directly from Microsoft. StackSocial is offering Windows 11 Pro for only $10 for a limited time when you use the promo code at checkout.
