Oracle Set to Outperform Despite OpenAI Concerns Weighing on Tech Sector, Wedbush Says

By

-- Oracle (ORCL) is set to outperform despite a report about OpenAI weighing on the tech sector, Wedbush said in a note Tuesday.

Oracle's significant backlog, including a $300 million cloud contract with OpenAI over the next five years, is expected to generate about $30 billion in revenue, analysts wrote.

Oracle is capable of completing its $50 billion capital raise, and the pullback in shares represent a buying opportunity with OpenAI set to go public by year-end, the brokerage said.

Concerns around OpenAI after it reportedly missed revenue and user targets are overblown, with the company having adequate capital to fulfill its compute capacity needs over at least the next three years, improving the odds of Oracle fulfilling its backlog in the near-term, according to the note.

Wedbush reiterated its outperform rating on the stock and price target of $225 per share.

Shares of Oracle were down more than 4% in Tuesday trading.

Air Canada Price Target Cut to $25.50 at Stifel Canada

Stifel Canada trimmed its price target on Air Canada (AC.TO) shares to $25.50 from $28.00 while maintaining its buy rating ahead of the company reporting its first-quarter results after market close on April 30.Analyst Daryl Young expects the results to be relatively strong, despite challenges related to winter storms, Cuba fuel crises, Mexico safety disruptions, and the Middle East conflict. "However, the key focus will be the durability of demand and pace of fuel price pass-through heading into the peak Q3 period (traditionally >40% of EBITDA)."Young believes demand has remained resilient. Air Canada is also well-positioned versus smaller Canadian peers given its scale, flexible fleet, and segmented offering, he points out."We expect AC to lower its full-year 2026 guidance alongside Q1/26 results or possibly withdraw it altogether, in favour of quarter-to-quarter guidance pending fuel price stability."Price: $18.30, Change: $-0.22, Percent Change: -1.19%
