Growth is the clearest differentiator here: revenue grew 17.3% year over year, outpacing the sector median of 11.8% by +47%, and EPS growth of 34.3% runs +11% above the sector median. ROE sits at 54.3%, +69% above the sector median of 32.1%, while the P/E of 21.1× and EV/EBITDA of 19.5× both land below their respective sector medians — the multiples do not look stretched against the growth on offer. The balance sheet is the main drag: Debt/EBITDA of 4.3× exceeds the sector median of 0.9× by +372%, and FCF yield of -11.2% trails the sector median of 1.9%. The F-Score of 5/9 reflects that mix — solid profitability, weak efficiency. Consensus has been running behind the realized record: the last report beat estimates by 13.3%, and the three-year EPS CAGR per SEC filings has outpaced what analysts modeled — a pattern the forward composite of 73/100 now starts to price in.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics. How we calculate →
The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When Oracle reports on 2026-09-14, track whether Debt/EBITDA moves closer to the sector median of 0.92× from its current 4.7×, and whether FCF yield recovers from 1.90%. The F-Score efficiency block scores 0/2, so watch receivables turnover and asset turnover for any directional shift.
Pull Oracle's most recent 10-K on SEC EDGAR and focus on management's discussion of debt refinancing plans and capital allocation, given leverage sits well above sector norms. Cross-check the liquidity disclosures against the F-Score's 2/3 leverage and liquidity result.
From the same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies yourself and line up one metric — Debt/EBITDA or FCF yield are the most relevant given Oracle's weak signals there. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the comparison is yours to frame.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
A description of what the market and analysts expect. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. Analyst forecasts run systematically optimistic over long horizons — read them with that discount.
