Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) has reiterated that it expects to generate about $65 billion in annual revenue by the 2026 fiscal year, a target it first shared with investors a year ago.
The assertion comes after the company last week reported disappointing quarterly earnings, with declining cloud licensing sales sending its share price tumbling.
Speaking on Thursday at its annual conference for financial analysts, Oracle’s executive vice president Doug Kehring said the company was confident it would reach its revenue target, in addition to achieving a 45% operating margin by fiscal 2026 and annual earnings per share growth of 10% plus.
Oracle’s strategic focus remains on expanding its cloud-computing rental business, where it currently trails behind competitors such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google parent Alphabet.
On Oracle’s cloud infrastructure business, which represents about 10% of the company’s total income, Kehring told investors that the company had Google in its sights.
Oracle shares gained 1% in pre-market trade to US$110.48, after closing down 3.1% on Thursday.
