After the closing bell yesterday, Oracle ORCL reported lackluster first-quarter fiscal 2024 results. The software giant provided downbeat guidance, citing strong competition in the cloud-computing industry and a digital spending pullback. However, it beat earnings estimates.

Shares of Oracle declined as much 10% in pre-market trading today and are on track to shed about $30 billion in market value. This has put ETFs with the highest allocation to this software giant in focus. These include iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV), Qraft AI-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap Momentum ETF AMOM, Fidelity Cloud Computing ETF FCLD, iShares U.S. Tech Independence Focused ETF IETC, and First Trust NASDAQ Technology Dividend Index Fund TDIV.

Oracle Earnings in Focus

Earnings per share came in at 95 cents, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents. Revenues rose 9% year over year to $12.45 billion, in line with estimates. The substantial revenue growth was powered by infrastructure and applications cloud businesses that grew 64% and 17%, respectively.

Cloud revenues jumped 30% to $4.6 billion in the fiscal first quarter. Revenues from the two strategic cloud applications businesses, namely Fusion and NetSuite Cloud ERP applications, grew 21% each during the quarter. Oracle Fusion is the world’s biggest cloud ERP business, while Oracle NetSuite is the second-biggest cloud ERP business.

For the ongoing quarter, Oracle expects revenues to grow 5-7% and adjusted earnings per share in the range of $1.30 to $1.34. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues indicates growth of 7.6%. The consensus estimate for earnings per share stands at $1.32.

Analysts believe that the rise in the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) applications could boost Oracle’s cloud infrastructure business because the advances made in its networking technology are more suited to take on AI workloads.
