Wall Street is rarely asleep. But for ORCL's extensive franchise in database, & the "hope" that high growth can be renewed by capitalizing upon the opportunity in the applications market the stock would not even be a "hold" among some of the major brokerage firms that maintain such a rating. There is so much doom & gloom talk of ORCL's prospects going forward: inability to compete with & grow as fast as SAP, PSFT & BAANF in the applications market; forthcoming pricing pressure from MSFT with its SQL server from the low-end of the database deployments; increasing competition from IBM. We've heard it all. There's a tug of war going on right now with the valuation of ORCL's stock. There's no real consensus. The market is waiting & watching closely to see how ORCL performs in the coming Qs to get a clearer perspective how it will leverage its existing franchise to enhance growth back to the level investors have become accustomed to.
