Oracle (ORCL) shares are down 33% this year as of writing, but surged 11% in one session after its October 28 Investor Day outlined long-term growth, before giving back those gains amid a market sell-off. Oracle estimates it will become free cash flow positive in the second half of fiscal 2028 and expects more than $30 billion in free cash flow in fiscal 2029, and it expects to bring net debt to adjusted EBITDA below 3.5x by fiscal 2029. The company targets revenue growth at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 35% from fiscal 2026 to 2030, with non-GAAP earnings per share rising from $8.10 in fiscal 2027 to more than $21.00 in fiscal 2030. The author's scenario assumes a 25x earnings multiple on $21.00 EPS in 2030, implying a $525 share price, or 4x today's price, which would turn a $1,000 investment into $4,000.

Risks noted include free cash flow of -$5.396B last quarter, interest expense up 55% to $1.4B, and plans to raise about $40B in debt and equity this fiscal year.

- Where Will Oracle Stock Be in 1 Year?
Oracle shares have fallen 54% over the past year on concerns about the large debt taken on to build AI data centers. The median 12-month Wall Street price target of $240 implies an 84% gain from current levels, and 36 of 45 analysts (80%) rate the stock a buy. Oracle reported a backlog of $664 billion in fiscal Q1 2027 (ended Aug. 31), with cloud infrastructure revenue up 121%. The company expects fiscal 2027 revenue to rise 34% to at least $90 billion, while analysts expect 46% growth to $131.8 billion in fiscal 2028. The article argues that at 5 times sales, below the five-year average of 6.6 times, a rerating to 7 times sales by the end of fiscal 2028 would put market cap near $923 billion, 133% above the current level.
- Oracle Stock Has Lost 60% Since Its Last Investor Day. Is It a Buy Before Wednesday?
Oracle had targeted $225 billion of revenue and $21 of adjusted earnings per share for fiscal 2030 at an October 16, 2025 investor meeting, while shares now trade around $126, about 60% below that day's close. Fiscal 2026 revenue reached $67.4 billion and adjusted EPS reached $6.83, close to plan, and management now expects at least $90 billion of revenue in fiscal 2027. What has changed is spending: capital expenditures were about $76 billion over the 12 months through August 2026, free cash flow was negative $28.7 billion, borrowings rose around 37% to about $125 billion, Oracle sold $20 billion of common stock, and S&P cut its rating to BBB- in July. The author notes the profit targets have held, but more future profit now goes to lenders and is spread over more shares, and wants to learn how Oracle will fund 2027 before judging whether the stock is attractive.
- Microsoft Vs. Oracle: Massive Backlog Fortunes With Vastly Different Risk Profiles
Microsoft and Oracle each reported record backlogs, $678 billion in commercial RPO for Microsoft and $664 billion for Oracle, but the funding behind them differs. Microsoft's fiscal Q4 revenue rose 17.8% to $90.01 billion and free cash flow reached $19.64 billion, with nearly 90% of Microsoft Cloud revenue coming from customers outside the frontier model companies. Oracle's $28.50 billion of capex pushed free cash flow to -$5.40 billion, interest expense rose 55% to $1.4 billion, and it completed a $20 billion at-the-market stock sale, while its CFO did not give a timeframe for positive free cash flow. Oracle shares fell 54.35% over the past year and trade at about 18x forward earnings versus 25x for Microsoft. The author says they prefer Microsoft for its diversified revenue and positive cash flow, while Oracle carries more uncertainty.
- Prediction: Oracle Could Become a Much Bigger AI Winner Than Investors Expect
Oracle shares have fallen about 32% this year despite cloud revenue growing 62% and $664 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO). The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a $201.27 price target, about 54.1% above the $130.63 share price, with a buy rating. Fiscal Q1 2027 non-GAAP EPS was $1.92 against a $1.7391 estimate, and revenue reached $19.345 billion. The bear case of $171.69 still sits above the current price, with risks including free cash flow of -$5.396 billion and interest expense up 55% to $1.4 billion. The article argues Oracle is growing faster than Microsoft and Amazon at a lower multiple.
- Where Will Oracle Stock Be in 2029? | The Motley Fool
Oracle's stock has fallen 53% over the past year, despite expectations that it would benefit from the AI infrastructure boom, as investors worry about debt of just over $169 billion against a $37 billion cash pile used to fund data center expansion. Its remaining performance obligations reached $664 billion, up $209 billion year over year, and fiscal Q1 revenue rose 30% to $19.3 billion, led by a 121% jump in cloud infrastructure revenue to $7.4 billion. Oracle is asking customers to prepay or bring their own hardware, which the article says should ease pressure on free cash flow and debt. Analysts expect earnings growth to step up sharply in fiscal 2029, after a 7% increase in the current year. The article argues that if EPS reaches $15.79 and the stock trades at 19 times earnings, the share price could hit $300, 129% above its current level.

- Anthropic IPO: 1,300% Growth, $16.3 Billion in Revenue, and an $80.7 Billion Loss. Here Are the Numbers to Watch.
Anthropic plans its public debut next month, seeking to raise $100 billion in what could be the largest IPO ever, which would surpass the June listing of Space Exploration Technologies (SPCX). Its S-1 shows revenue grew from $41 million in 2023 to $386 million in 2024 and about $4.6 billion in 2025, reaching $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, more than 1,300% above the same period of 2025. Third-quarter results were not included, and recent reports suggest growth slowed then. The first-half net loss of $80.7 billion mostly reflects a $72.4 billion non-cash charge tied to revaluing convertible debt; the operating loss narrowed to $693 million from $2.1 billion a year earlier, and the company posted a $974 million operating profit in the second quarter. Anthropic also has roughly $750 billion in spending commitments to compute providers and chipmakers, most of them non-cancelable, which the article says could leave it in a tight financial position if sales projections prove too optimistic.
- Prediction: $100 per Month Invested in Eli Lilly (LLY) Stock Will Be Worth This Much by 2030
The article projects the value of investing $100 per month in Eli Lilly (LLY) stock through late 2030, about four years. Assuming annual growth of 25%, a more conservative figure than growth above 30%, the $4,800 invested could be worth close to $8,000, a gain of roughly 67%. Growth is driven by GLP-1 weight-loss drugs Mounjaro and Zepbound, with Morgan Stanley forecasting the global GLP-1 market could more than double between 2025 and 2035 to $190 billion, though competition from Novo Nordisk's Ozempic and Wegovy exists. The article notes Lilly's price-to-sales ratio of 14.4 is above its five-year average of 13.3, while its P/E of 43 is below the five-year average of 58, and says a pullback is possible.
- Enbridge vs. Enterprise Products: Which High-Yield Dividend Is Actually Safer?
The article compares Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) and Enbridge (ENB), two pipeline stocks with similar forward dividend yields of about 5.9% and 5.8% and roughly three decades of annual dividend increases. It finds EPD has stronger dividend coverage: distributions and buybacks equaled about 54% of cash flow from operations over the trailing 12 months through Q3, versus Enbridge's guided 60% to 70% of discretionary cash flow. EPD is also less leveraged, with debt-to-EBITDA around 2.9 compared with Enbridge's 4.5 to 5 target range. Although MLPs issue K-1s that complicate taxes, the article says EPD is still more tax-efficient, since Enbridge, as a Canadian corporation, is subject to withholding tax on dividends paid to U.S. investors. Enbridge stands out for its regulated natural gas utilities, which give it less cash flow volatility, and the article notes EPD's advantages could change over time.

- 3 Unstoppable S&P 500 Stocks to Buy in November
The article highlights three S&P 500 stocks trading below previous highs: Netflix (NFLX) is down 52%, TJX (TJX) is down roughly 15% from its 52-week high, and DoorDash (DASH) is down 41% from its 2025 high. Netflix's revenue growth has slowed for four straight quarters, from nearly 18% in Q4 2025 to about 12% in Q3 2026, though its forward P/E of 17.7x is below the S&P 500's 19.2. TJX posted a 4% rise in second-quarter comparable sales and 11% adjusted EPS growth, with a forward P/E of 26. DoorDash's second-quarter revenue rose 24% to $4.5 billion, and its forward P/E of 29 compares with roughly 44% annualized earnings growth analysts expect. The article argues these factors could support market-beating returns.
- Binance says 90% of $6.3 billion hack losses are now covered, plans to resume withdrawals Sunday
Binance said it has covered up to 90% of the roughly $6.3 billion in tokens stolen from its hot wallets in a record crypto theft, and will keep buying the rest until coverage reaches 100%. The exchange said BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and ZEC are fully backed, while the outstanding 10% consists of less liquid tokens outside its top 10. Funds come from its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), part of its Futures insurance fund and corporate treasury, and its next milestone is resuming withdrawals by Sunday, subject to security checks. The attack's method remains unclear: Binance first pointed to a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop, but co-CEO Richard Teng later said it involved a more complex process. TRM Labs pointed to North Korean hackers, citing similarities with the Bybit and KelpDAO hacks in April 2026.
