- FredPret 2y agoOracle is an interesting company. Lots of locked-in enterprises, but everybody in tech hates them. I think they're a future IBM, but it'll take a long time, perhaps decades, to get there (once an ERP, database system, or cloud provider gets into a big enterprise, it's not leaving again soon). They have rock solid earnings [https://valustox.com/ORCL https://valustox.com/ORCL] but they're trading at high valuations given their low growth rate and modest dividend. I am neither buying nor shorting them right now.
- ab_testing 2y agoI think the only tech people who hate them are the ones who think that Oracle is a database company ala Postgres and then wonder why it is worth billions of dollars. Most of their current revenue for now comes from their fusion ERP suite that runs in the cloud. Those products have a lot of stickiness as businesses don’t switch ERP systems often.
