On June 11, Oracle reported better than expected fourth quarter fiscal 2025 results with revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share exceeding the consensus forecasts. Total revenue was up 11% in the quarter, while the company posted non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.70, up from $1.63 in last year’s quarter and better than the consensus forecast of $1.64. Non-GAAP operating income was $7.0 billion, up 5% in USD and up 4% in constant currency. Fourth quarter remaining performance obligations jumped 41%, to $138 billion.

Salesforce Raises Full Year Revenue Guidance, Announces Plans to Acquire Informatica
Jun 10, 2025
-
Image: Salesforce’s shares have been choppy the past few years.
Salesforce initiated second quarter fiscal 2026 revenue guidance calling for growth of 7%-8% in constant currency, while it raised its full-year revenue guidance to the range of $41-$41.3 billion, up 8% in constant currency and the range above the consensus forecast at the time of the report. Salesforce maintained its full year GAAP and non-GAAP operating margin guidance, as well as its full year operating cash flow guidance of approximately 10%-11% year-over-year growth. Free cash flow is targeted at 9%-10% year-over-year growth for the full year, while non-GAAP earnings per share is expected in the range of $11.27-$11.33 versus consensus of $11.17 per share at the time of the report. We liked Salesforce’s strong first quarter fiscal 2026 results and its raised full year revenue guidance. We have no qualms with its announced acquisition of Informatica, but we don’t include shares in any newsletter portfolio. Shares yield 0.6% at the time of this writing.
