Visit Shows Oracle on Track - 29 October 1997
On Target for Rebound

At current levels, while not nearly as depressed as spring
1997 valuations, ORCL is trading at a lower multiple than
we have seen in some time. The stock posted a strong
rebound Tuesday, in response to Monday's 550 point
market correction, showing strong support in the low $30s.
We believe that, with a solid November quarter earnings
report and a rebound in its database business, ORCL could
see a 2Q 98 (Nov) reaction similar to Oracle's 3Q 97 (Feb)
last spring, where the stock jumped $5 on heavy volume as
many on the sidelines moved back into the stock. Oracle is
still the dominant franchise in database technology, with
burgeoning opportunities in applications software and a
wildcard in network computing.
70% of Oracle's revenue came from high-growth services
and applications revenues. This enabled Oracle to miss its
database revenue targets and still achieve high-end
estimates for revenue and EPS for 1Q 98.

-----------
The analyst even went to the length to predict that ORCL could open $5 up when the earnings were released. Now they change their opinion. So much for these analysts..
