Oracle Adds AMD GPUs in Cloud Infrastructure: Will This Aid Growth?
Oracle ORCL is leveraging Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to drive AI growth. In fourth-quarter fiscal 2025, OCI consumption revenues jumped 62%, reflecting rising demand for high-performance computing, particularly for AI and agentic workloads. Infrastructure cloud services now have annualized revenues of nearly $12 billion. Oracle reported $6.7 billion in total cloud revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, suggesting 27% year-over-year growth. To further boost its AI capabilities, Oracle inked a partnership with AMD on June 12. The company is integrating AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The collaboration offers more than 2X price-performance compared with the previous generation, enabling significant efficiency gains for large-scale AI training and inference workloads. Another key driver of Oracle's cloud momentum is its aggressive global data center expansion. The company is currently live in 23 cloud regions with a database on cloud services and has another 47 planned. OCI revenues are expected to grow more than 70% in fiscal 2026. To support this aggressive expansion, Oracle deployed $9.1 billion in capital expenditures in the reported quarter, totaling $21.2 billion in fiscal 2025. The company plans to invest $25 billion in fiscal 2026. Oracle Faces Tough Rivals in Cloud Computing Oracle is stepping up its cloud ambitions, but the company faces formidable rivals like Amazon 's AMZN cloud computing arm, Amazon Web Services ('AWS') and Microsoft 's MSFT Azure. AWS remains the global leader in cloud infrastructure, commanding roughly one-third of the market. Its expanding enterprise customer base and high-margin cloud services continue to reinforce Amazon's dominance in IaaS and PaaS. The cloud division remains a significant profit engine for Amazon, driven by premium services and a growing roster of Fortune 500 clients. Microsoft Azure stands out in the cloud computing landscape for its seamless enterprise integration and deep ties to Microsoft's broader software ecosystem. Microsoft Azure excels at embedding advanced AI capabilities directly into widely used business applications like Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and GitHub. With operations in more than 60 global regions, Microsoft Azure delivers scalable solutions across software, platforms and infrastructure. ORCL's Price Performance, Valuation & Estimates Shares of Oracle have gained 26.6% year to date compared with the Zacks Computer - Software industry's growth of 11%. From a valuation standpoint, ORCL trades at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 26.7x, significantly higher than the Zacks Computer-Software industry average of 19.24x. This elevated multiple indicates that the market has likely priced in strong expectations for Oracle's future growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ORCL's fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $66.73 billion, indicating 16.25% year-over-year growth. The consensus mark for ORCL's 2026 earnings is pegged at $6.68 per share, up four cents over the past 30 days. The earnings figure indicates 10.78% growth from the figure reported in fiscal 2025.

Oracle Earnings Impress: Are Cloud Stocks a Buy?
The big banks will really kick the Q2 earnings cycle into a higher gear in a few weeks, but the reality is that earnings season is never 'over'. We've heard from several companies over recent weeks, whose results we'll include as part of the broader Q2 tally. Among the group that have already reported, Oracle ORCL saw a notably strong reaction thanks to its robust results, with shares seeing a strong move higher post-earnings. Up nearly 30% YTD, shares are now outperforming the S&P 500 following the print. Let's take a closer look at the release and a few other major cloud players, such as Microsoft MSFT and Amazon AMZN. Oracle Earnings Impress Concerning headline expectations in the release, sales of $15.9 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.70 both cleared our consensus expectations, reflecting growth rates of 11% and 4.3%, respectively. Below is a chart illustrating the company's sales on a quarterly basis. Notably, its remaining performance obligations (RPOs) were up a strong 41% year-over-year, a reflection of the red-hot demand the company has been witnessing. CEO Safra Catz said – 'We expect our total cloud growth rate—applications plus infrastructure—will increase from 24% in FY25 to over 40% in FY26. Cloud Infrastructure growth rate is expected to increase from 50% in FY25 to over 70% in FY26. And RPO is likely to grow more than 100% in FY26. Oracle is well on its way to being not only the world's largest cloud application company — but also one of the world's largest cloud infrastructure companies.' The red-hot demand is also showing up in analysts' current year sales expectations, which have moved considerably higher following the release. As we can see, sales expectations were already trending higher for some time, with the recent commentary cementing the strong outlook. MSFT Benefits from Cloud Momentum Microsoft shares have been strong in 2025 so far, up 14% compared to the S&P 500's 2% gain. Concerning headline figures in its latest release, EPS of $3.46 and sales of $70.0 billion both handily exceeded our consensus expectations, up 13% and 18%, respectively. The technology titan's sales growth continues to be mighty impressive, a common theme among the broader Mag 7 group overall. Strength in Microsoft Cloud and AI drove the results, with Microsoft Cloud revenue up 20% year-over-year to $42.4 billion. Demand has remained strong for the tech titan, with the trend expected to continue over the coming years. Importantly, its Intelligent Cloud (includes Azure) revenue totaled a strong $26.8 billion, up 21% from the year-ago period. Amazon Inks New Deals Amazon's latest set of results also showed solid momentum within AWS, with sales of $29.3 billion in the segment up 17% year-over-year. The growth rates here have been a major focus, giving investors a gauge of whether sales have been decelerating or accelerating. Further, AMZN signed several new AWS deals with companies throughout the period, a list that includes Adobe, Uber, Nasdaq, Ericsson, Cisco, and more. Many businesses have clamored for AWS, and market participants should expect Amazon to ink many more deals in the coming months/years. Below is a chart illustrating AMZN's sales on a quarterly basis. Analysts have taken a bullish stance on AMZN's current fiscal year, with the current $6.17 Zacks Consensus EPS estimate up roughly 6% over the past year. The value reflects 12% growth YoY, continuing the titan's growth trajectory. Bottom Line Oracle's ORCL recent set of quarterly results, which we count in our broader Q2 tally, were notably strong, enjoying strong growth thanks to snowballing demand. The growth within its remaining performance obligations (RPOs) helps confirm the strong demand. Other major cloud players, including Amazon AMZN and Microsoft MSFT also enjoyed very healthy demand concerning their services throughout their latest periods, further confirming the broader cloud momentum. 7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 Days Just released: Experts distill 7 elite stocks from the current list of 220 Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys.

Saint John Energy partners to build province's largest solar farm
A few years after the opening of a wind farm on the city's west side, Saint John Energy is now getting into the solar game on the other side of town. The utility have partnered with Universal Kraft Renewables and Neqotkuk (Tobique First Nation) for the creation of a 10 megawatt solar farm on Old Black River Road. The first nation and energy developer will build, own and operate the solar farm, with 100 per cent of the power generated going to Saint John Energy. Once operational, the solar farm is expected to produce enough energy to power around 1,200 homes and reduce carbon emissions by over 10,000 tonnes a year. 'The solar panels will be bifacial,' says Saint John Energy President & CEO, Ryan Mitchell. 'Which means when there is snow on the ground, there will be a reflection off of the snow that will also contribute to the production of electricity.' Mitchell says the solar panels will be able to tilt and follow the sun to allow for maximum energy production. The solar farm will be known as the Menahqwesk Kisuhs Energy Hub. The name blends the Wolastoqey word for Saint John with the word for sun. The partnership between the First Nation and energy developer is 51 per cent, 49 per cent in favour of Neqotkuk. The project will cost around $14 to $15 million. Universal Kraft Renewables specializes in several renewable energy projects from wind farms to battery storage, but this marks global companies first venture in New Brunswick. It's also the first time the company has partnered with an Indigenous group for a project of this scale says project manager, Jacob Roth. 'It's much more community focused which is important to us,' says Roth on the difference partnering with First Nations communities over private developers. 'It's a different lens on how they look at the community. They're helping out with the environmental aspects, they have a lot of pride in the area that the developing in, they care about how the project integrates the community as a whole, and that really aligns with our core values as a company.' Roth says the construction of the solar farm will required around 36 people, and once operations begin it will be a six person crew required to maintain the site. Roth is also aware Saint John can be rather foggy due to the Bay of Fundy. He says when fog is present the panels won't operate at peak capacity but will still be able to capture some of the suns energy. The solar farm will be the latest renewable energy project Tobique First Nation will have their hand in. The Indigenous community has also partnered with Saint John Energy for the Burchill Wind project and recently opened wind farm in Sussex. Chief Rob Perley says the project will help generate revenue that will go towards funding band initiatives to help meet the needs for his community. 'First Nations communities are funded from federal dollars and it's never enough,' points out Chief Perley. 'Foodbank not funded, so we got to find ways to fund that. Upkeep of elders homes and housing, no funding for that. We got to find ways to provide that service and meet that need for our community.' Construction of the project is expected to begin in spring of 2026 and be operational by the following summer. The solar farm initiative is the latest part of Saint John Energy's Zero30 plan to produce net-zero emissions by 2030. For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.
