Stephens upgrades Oracle to Overweight and raises price target to $213

Stephens upgraded Oracle to an Overweight rating, increasing its price target from $185 to $213. The firm highlighted Oracle's reduced cloud infrastructure funding needs, now capped at $20 billion, and its guidance for positive free cash flow in the second half of 2028 with more than $30 billion expected in FY 2029. The upgrade follows Oracle's investor day where management clarified its financing strategy. Stephens sees a roughly 63% upside from the current share price.

The higher rating and price target suggest a sizable upside for investors, while the projected free cash flow improves Oracle's cash generation outlook. Stephens' view implies the stock could trade well above its current level.
