OK, this is looking somewhat predictable. Oracle reported $9.20 billion in Q1 revenue, or $0.03 per share, against consensus estimates in the $9.24 to $9.29 range. In other words, it missed its number. How concerning is this? Excuse me while I yawn. It’s important all right, but no reason to get crazy. Still, some representatives of the widows and orphans who own the stock went into a tizzy, and some might have needed smelling salts or a stiff drink. Many people are concerned that Oracle isn’t moving its customers to the cloud fast enough.
