Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
UBS analyst Karl Keirstead has upgraded Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL) from a Neutral rating to a Buy rating and raised the price target from $120 to $140. The upgrade is based on Oracle's edge in cloud due to GPU supply constraints. Oracle has outsized allocations of Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:NVDA) GPUs relative to its size, and the GPU shortage could last for six to 12 months. Keirstead also noted that Oracle's SaaS business could benefit from AI.
