Oracle Mixed Bag As Acquisitions Not In Numbers Yet (ORCL, JAVA)
Published:
Last Updated:
Larry Ellison and friends over at Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ: ORCL) just reported earnings. The enterprise software giant posted $0.46 EPS EPS and $6.9 billion in revenues. Thomson Reuters had estimates pegged at $0.44 EPS and $6.47 billion in revenue. Oracle said that currencies pushed earnings lower by $0.05 per share. Today was also a reflection on the acquisition and potential integration of Sun Microsystems Inc. (NASDAQ: JAVA), as well as the virtualization operations of VirtualIron.
Here were some GAAP measures to show some comparisons:
We did not see formal guidance for the coming quarter but those consensus estimates are $0.30 EPS and $5.15 billion in revenues.
This report also marked its fiscal year end and it had an implied P/E of 14 on a trailing basis as a result on roughly 4.3-times trailing revenues.
Just in case Ellison wants to be bold and go out on a limb, the estimates for the year ahead ending May 2010 are $1.49 EPS and $23.35 billion in revenue.
Oracle shares closed down 0.5% unofficially at $19.87 and the 52-week range is $13.80 to $23.62. The reaction in the after-hours session showed shares down about another 1% to $19.65 but they are trading above $20.00 in on and off trading. Until guidance is out and until we have solid data on how the mergers are going, this is just academic at this point.
