Oracle Corp's stock has dropped 22% amid concerns over margin and free cash flow pressures due to heavy investments in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Despite this, the company's Cloud segment shows strong revenue growth of 39% year-over-year, with Multicloud revenue surging 404%. The backlog has reached $638 billion, though gross margins declined from 71% to 65%. Management expects short-term margin pressure from data center expansion but anticipates rapid improvement as new capacity comes online, targeting long-term returns on invested capital in the high 20s. The analyst recommends accumulating shares below $100, betting on long-term profitability driven by Multicloud, Bring Your Own Hardware (BYOH), and customer prepayments.
