Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is one of the Exciting AI Stocks to Watch Right Now. On September 8, Deutsche Bank reiterated the stock as “Buy” stating that it’s sticking with Oracle ahead of earnings on Tuesday.

“However, we underscore Ms. Catz and Mr. Ellison’s multi-decade track record as capital allocators and expect out year operating income and EPS estimates to continue revising higher over the coming years as the scale and yield on Cloud investments become clearer.”

On the same day, TD Cowen analyst Derrick Wood reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $325.00 price target. Here is what the firm expects ahead of the earnings print due on September 9^th.

“All Eyes on OCI & RPO Build; Momentum Only Building From Here; ORCL reports 1Q on 9/9. We look for 10% cc growth (vs. 8% cc last qtr) & continued RPO strength. Our checks point to very strong OCI demand from ORCL’s largest customers, building momentum in multi-cloud deployments from the core base & strengthening Fusion migrations. OCI growth unlock in FY26 is still under-appreciated & under-modeled. Expect a strong OCI outlook for FY26. Reiterate Buy.”
