Corrected: Oracle Shares Drop Despite 36 Pct Profit Rise

PALO ALTO, Calif. (Reuters) - Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq:ORCL - news)'s fiscal third-quarter profits rose 36 percent -- in line with forecasts -- but weaker-than-expected revenue growth sent shares of the No. 1 database software company plunging in after-hours trading.

Oracle Thursday said income for the three months ended Feb. 28 rose to $293.3 million, or 20 cents a share, from $215.1 million, or 14 cents, a year earlier. Revenue climbed 19 percent to $2.08 billion from $1.75
billion.

Although the per-share earnings were a penny better than the 20 cents Wall Street had expected, some analysts expressed concern that revenue growth -- particularly sales of database and applications software -- was weaker than expected.
