Trade Oracle with LHFX

Oracle (ORCL) is one of the largest US enterprise software companies, with annual revenue of roughly $55 billion across three operating segments: Cloud Services and Licence Support (around 75% of revenue), Cloud Licence and On-premise Licence (around 8%), and Hardware and Services (around 17%, combined). The company has spent the last five years pivoting from a perpetual-licence database business into a cloud infrastructure (OCI) and cloud applications (Fusion ERP, NetSuite) operator. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is the most-watched line. OCI revenue is around $8 billion annual run rate, growing at 50%-plus year over year, and management has guided to multi-year acceleration as AI training workloads land on Oracle's GPU clusters. Oracle's AI bet is built on three pieces: large multi-billion-dollar AI training deals (with named customers including OpenAI, Meta, and xAI), an aggressive Stargate data centre programme co-announced with OpenAI and SoftBank, and Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) backlog that reached over $130 billion at recent disclosure, a jump of over 60% year over year. The cloud applications business is dominated by Fusion ERP and NetSuite. Fusion ERP is now the fastest-growing major ERP product, taking share from SAP in large-enterprise migrations. NetSuite is the dominant cloud ERP for mid-market customers. The legacy database business remains a high-margin annuity. Oracle Database Autonomous Cloud and the multi-cloud agreements with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS (where Oracle databases run natively inside the hyperscaler regions) extend the database moat into the cloud era. At LHFX you trade ORCL as a CFD. You profit or lose based on the share-price movement, with leverage up to 1:20 and $3 per side commission. You do not own the underlying share. Oracle pays a quarterly cash dividend; on the ex-dividend date the amount is applied as a dividend adjustment to long and short CFD positions. Settlement is in USD.

Add ORCL to your MT5 Market Watch. The instrument trades during NYSE regular hours, Monday to Friday 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. Commission is $3 per side, leverage up to 1:20. Daily moves on ORCL are typically 1 to 2% on a regular session and 6 to 15% on earnings days. The September 2024 and December 2024 prints each produced double-digit single-day moves on RPO surprises. Oracle's fiscal year ends in May, so the four quarterly earnings dates are mid-September (Q1), mid-December (Q2), mid-March (Q3), and mid-June (Q4), all after the regular-session close. The fiscal-Q1 print typically receives the most attention because the back-half-loaded RPO growth pattern shows up first there. Worked example, illustrative numbers. On a $3,000 account at an ORCL price of $160, a 0.5 lot CFD position controls 50 shares worth $8,000 of notional exposure. At 1:20 leverage the margin requirement is roughly $400, or 13% of your account. A 10% adverse move from $160 to $144 costs $800, which is 27% of your account. To keep an earnings-day exposure inside a 2% loss budget you size to 0.05 lots (5 shares notional), where a 10% gap costs $80. ORCL has historically produced asymmetric earnings moves to the upside on RPO surprises. Many traders carry small directional positions through prints with size scaled to the implied move (typically 7 to 11%).
