Profitability is the clearest strength here: ROE of 54.3% runs +71% above the sector median 31.7%, and the F-Score of 5/9 out of 5 reflects a business that generates returns without obvious deterioration. Valuation sits near the sector median — the P/E of 19.9× is -50% below the sector median 40.1×, and EV/EBITDA of 18.7× is -47% below the sector median 35.2× — though neither multiple is cheap in absolute terms. The balance sheet is the main drag: Debt/EBITDA of 4.3× exceeds the sector median 0.6× by +617%, and FCF yield of -11.9% trails the sector median 2.2% by -648%. On the forward axis, the beat rate is strong and the realized three-year EPS CAGR per SEC filings aligns broadly with what consensus models — an unusual degree of agreement, given the typical optimism bias in analyst forecasts.

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.
Priced close to current earnings; 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 2026-09-07, track revenue growth year over year alongside free cash flow yield, currently at 2.17% against the sector median. A sustained or widening gap there would pressure the F-Score's efficiency signals, which currently score 0/2.
In the annual report, focus on the debt disclosures behind the 7.2× Debt/EBITDA ratio — well above the sector median of 0.60×. Management's discussion should clarify refinancing timelines and whether cloud infrastructure spending is expected to compress or expand that figure.
Pick two or three companies from the alphabetical table in section 06 and line up a single metric — Debt/EBITDA or EV/EBITDA at 35.2× are natural candidates. That side-by-side view will place Oracle's leverage profile in sector-relative context without requiring a verdict on any one name.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
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 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.
