Oracle Corp. (NASDAQ: ORCL) came out with some mixed earnings after today’s close, and without guidance this is somewhat of a pending and unresolved issue. The enterprise and CRM behemoth posted earnings of $0.29 non-GAAP EPS on revenues of $5.33 Billion. Estimates were $0.27 non-GAAP EPS on $5.42 Billion in revenues according to First Call. So far we are seeing shares trade up to $19.10 after closing up 3.5% at $18.75.
As a reminder, this is essentially unfinished business until LarryEllison and executives offer guidance and give their opinions of theclimate they are expecting ahead. For Next quarter, estimates are$0.35 EPS on $6.23 Billion in revenues. If Larry Ellison is willing togo out on a limb for Fiscal May-2009, those estimates are $1.50non-GAAP EPS and $25.96 Billion in revenues. If Oracle is able to reaffirm its targetsaround forward targets, the stock’s forward P/E is roughly 12 and itsforward multiple is just over 3.5-times revenues.
