Oracle Blows Up – Had Its Best Week Since 2001

Do you recall Oracle? In the early 2000s, your uncle most likely made an investment in that business tech giant? Indeed, they are. With their most impressive stock market flex since 2001, Wall Street is in a frenzy.
Not to brag, they’ve increased by 24% in just one week. It’s not just a “solid week”; in tech stock land, it’s a “hold-my-beer” moment. Let’s examine the reasons behind the recent belief that Oracle created the cloud.

Wait, Oracle? The Database Dinosaur?

Indeed. Oracle, that one. This one is typically associated with traditional business tech companies. They’re on a completely other mood now, though. Steve from Blue’s Clues reminded everyone that he still had it, kind of like that.
Oracle’s cloud strategy has been sluggish for some time—people have been sleeping on it—but it’s now taking off.
And how can we be sure it’s functioning?
for the reason that investors are going crazy.

Let’s Talk Numbers (Because Numbers = Proof)

So here’s the point:

• Oracle’s stock shot up 24% this week—their biggest glow-up since April 2001.
• The surge came right after their latest earnings call, where they casually dropped better-than-expected earnings AND wild cloud growth projections.
• CEO Safra Catz is out here saying revenue could hit over $67 billion this fiscal year. Wall Street was expecting $65B. So, yeah, that’s a whole extra $2 billion of “y’all doubted us.”
• They even outperformed every major tech megacap this year so far. Like, ALL of them. Google who?

Cloud + AI = Oracle’s Comeback Era

For real—Oracle is kinda killing it in cloud now. And that’s mostly because they’ve figured out their niche:
Helping businesses run AI models at scale.

Yup, that “we’re building data centers like there’s no tomorrow” type of demand. Larry Ellison (Oracle’s co-founder and certified business villain) basically told analysts:

“Demand is astronomical.”

And honestly? That tracks. Companies are racing to build and run AI-powered stuff—and Oracle’s suddenly the plug.

More Demand Than They Can Handle?

This part’s wild. Oracle’s literally telling people:

“We can’t keep up. Like, we’re doing our best, but supply can’t match the hype.”

Now, usually, that’s a red flag. But in this case? It’s giving “We’re too successful, sorry not sorry.” And investors are loving it. One analyst even bumped the price target up to $235 (from $200), and yes, the stock just hit a new record at $215.22.

Not bad for a company people used to call boring, huh?

Flashback to 2001: Dead Cats and Dot-Com Chaos

Let’s acknowledge the irony: We were right in the heart of the dot-com bust the last time Oracle had a week this strong. You know, when everyone was praying and throwing money at Pets.com.
Oracle was involved in the crash-and-burn incident back then. Right now? It is truly booming thanks to AI, the latest tech fad.

So Should You Care?

If you’re into stocks, tech, or just love a good comeback story—yeah, you should care.

Oracle went from being the “meh” old-school tech bro to the dark horse in the AI/cloud race. And let’s be real, when companies are saying they can’t build fast enough to meet demand? That’s worth a double-take.

Not saying go dump your savings into Oracle tomorrow, but… don’t sleep on this either.

Final Thoughts

Look, the market’s wild. AI is booming, cloud is still hot, and Oracle’s somehow in the middle of it all. It’s like watching your quiet cousin suddenly become TikTok famous.

If you’re feeling FOMO—you’re not alone. This is one of those “Wait, when did that happen?” stories that could be just getting started.
