ORCLORCL

Belpointe Asset Management reduced its Oracle stake by 18.2% in Q3, selling 5,327 shares and retaining 23,993 shares worth $6.748 million. The sale was disclosed in the fund’s SEC filing, marking a notable institutional-divestment event for the enterprise software provider.

1. Institutional Investors Adjust Stakes in Oracle

During the third quarter, Belpointe Asset Management LLC reduced its position in Oracle by 18.2%, selling 5,327 shares to leave a holding of 23,993 shares valued at $6.75 million as reported in its latest SEC filing. Other major institutions also shifted exposure: Vanguard Group increased its position by 2.1%, adding 3.35 million shares to reach 164.28 million shares; State Street raised its stake by 1.7% to 73.46 million shares; Norges Bank initiated a new position valued at $4.28 billion; Legal & General added 147,367 shares for a total of 11.32 million; and Primecap Management expanded by 3.8% to 11.18 million shares. Institutional investors now account for 42.44% of Oracle’s outstanding shares, underscoring ongoing confidence in its long-term cloud and software franchise despite selective profit-taking.

2. Insider Transactions Highlight Caution at the Top

In December filings with the SEC, two senior executives reduced their personal holdings. Mark Hura sold 15,000 shares in a single transaction representing a 6.02% reduction of his stake, netting proceeds of approximately $3.0 million. Shortly before, CEO Clayton M. Magouyrk sold 10,000 shares—6.49% of his holdings—for about $1.9 million. Over the past ninety days, insiders have off-loaded a combined 62,223 shares valued at roughly $12.1 million. These dispositions trim insider ownership to 40.90%, the lowest level in over a year, and may signal a measured view on near-term valuation or capital allocation ahead of Oracle’s next strategic moves.

3. Robust Earnings, High Backlog Position Oracle for Growth

In its fiscal second quarter, Oracle delivered non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.26, beating consensus by $0.62, on revenue of $16.06 billion, up 14.2% year-over-year. The company reported a net margin of 25.3% and a return on equity of 70.6%. Importantly, remaining performance obligations rose 438% year-over-year to a record $523 billion, reflecting large cloud commitments from key customers in AI and enterprise applications. With its backlog now several years’ worth of revenue, Oracle secures multi-year visibility on top-line growth, though future margin expansion will depend on disciplined capital spending to build out cloud infrastructure and continued adoption of its autonomous database and Fusion Cloud suite.
