Oracle is set to report fiscal first-quarter 2027 results after the September 10 market close, with analysts expecting revenue of $19.13 billion, up 28% from a year earlier, and earnings per share of $1.74, an 18% increase. The report will test whether Oracle Cloud Infrastructure can convert rapidly expanding capacity and AI-related contracts into recognized revenue while containing the financial strain from data-center investment. Guggenheim analyst John DiFucci maintained a Buy rating and $400 price target, identifying Oracle as the firm's top pick and a long-term investment. He said the company's planned $20 billion at-the-market offering has weighed more heavily on shares than OpenAI customer-concentration concerns. DiFucci expects about $9 billion of new IaaS annual recurring revenue to activate during the quarter and said new infrastructure capacity could approach 1 gigawatt. Oracle's shares rose 8.4% over the past 30 days but remained about 16% below their level at the start of the year. Investors are also monitoring capital expenditure, margins, backlog conversion, debt, regulatory scrutiny and the pace of any equity issuance.
