About ORACLE CORP

Oracle Corp. (NYSE/NASDAQ: ORCL, United States) is a leading U.S. technology company that built its reputation on enterprise databases and has since evolved into a broad cloud and business applications platform. The company was founded in 1977 in Santa Clara, California, by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates under the name Software Development Laboratories. It was renamed Oracle Corporation in 1982 and went public in 1986. Oracle’s headquarters are now in Austin, Texas, following its long corporate presence in California. ([oracle.com](https://www.oracle.com/corporate/?utm_source=openai)) Oracle primarily serves large enterprises, government agencies, and organizations running complex IT environments. Its business is built around three complementary pillars: cloud infrastructure (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI), cloud applications (including ERP, HCM, supply chain, and industry-specific software), and data technologies such as Oracle Database, analytics, and automation tools. The company also maintains a meaningful legacy footprint in software licenses, support, and related services. Strategically, Oracle positions itself as an integrated vendor spanning infrastructure, database, and applications, which differentiates it from pure-play SaaS providers and from large-scale cloud infrastructure competitors. ([oracle.com](https://www.oracle.com/corporate/?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Oracle remains one of the most important enterprise database vendors globally while continuing to strengthen its cloud franchise through heavy R&D spending and datacenter investment. Oracle says it generated more than $57 billion of revenue in fiscal 2025, employed 162,000 people, and supported a globally diversified customer base. Its international footprint extends across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and other regions through direct sales, partners, and consulting services. ([oracle.com](https://www.oracle.com/corporate/?utm_source=openai)) Recent highlights show Oracle leaning heavily into AI and cloud transformation. The company has emphasized embedding AI across its software stack, including database and cloud services, and recent quarterly updates in 2025 and 2026 pointed to strong cloud momentum, especially in Oracle Cloud Database and multicloud-related revenue. For investors, Oracle remains a mature but still evolving technology franchise, with the key themes being cloud migration, enterprise AI adoption, and capital-intensive expansion of cloud capacity.
