After the closing bell yesterday, software giant Oracle (ORCL - Free Report) reported better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter 2019 results. The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings and revenues and issued a solid view.
Earnings per share came in at $1.16, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9 cents and improving 99 cents from the year-ago quarter. Revenues inched up 1% year over year to $11.14 billion and were above the estimated $10.94 billion (see: all the Technology ETFs here).
For the fiscal first quarter 2020, the world’s second-largest software maker expects total revenues to be flat to up 2% in dollar terms (1-3% in constant currency basis); the range is within the mid-point is the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 1.65% growth. It projects earnings per share of 80-82 cents with the low end of the guidance matching the current Zacks Consensus Estimate. For fiscal 2020, Oracle expects revenue to grow faster than the previous year and projects double-digit earnings per share growth.
Solid results and an encouraging guidance pushed shares of Oracle up as much as 7% in aftermarket trade with elevated volumes. The company carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and has a VGM Score of A. It belongs to a bottom-ranked Zacks Industry (bottom 38%).
