Oracle Seen As A Top Pick For 2006 David Ng, 01.19.06, 10:53 AM ET Oracle Piper Jaffray analyst David Rudow said Oracle is one of the "most interesting" stocks to own for 2006. "The shares are very cheap compared to the [peer] group," the analyst wrote in a recent report, "and we think this disparity will improve once the Siebel acquisition is completed and earnings growth is the focus." Rudow advised investors to buy Oracle (nasdaq: ORCL - news - people ) shares, saying the company's 20% earnings growth target is achievable. "We believe the company will continue its consolidation strategy," the analyst said. "Given the current state of software and buyer trends, we think this is the right strategy for Oracle, despite the negative sentiment around the stock." Rudow expects Oracle to acquire target companies in the future to speed its product roll-outs in certain sectors. As for Oracle's roll-out of its Fusion product, the analyst said Oracle is moving in the right direction and could see increased maintenance revenues and more customers committing to the Oracle stack over the coming years. Rudow reiterated an "outperform" rating and $17 target price on Oracle. Link: forbes.com
