Is it a good time to buy Oracle stock?

The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.

Oracle share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Oracle's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$134.57 up to US$343.0132. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

ORCL.US volatility(beta: 1.6)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while Oracle's is 1.597. This would suggest that Oracle's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Oracle share dividends

28%

Dividend payout ratio: 27.7% of net profits

Recently Oracle has paid out, on average, around 27.7% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.16% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Oracle shareholders could enjoy a 1.16% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Oracle's case, that would currently equate to about 2 per share.

While Oracle's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Oracle may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Oracle's most recent dividend payout was on 23 April 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 8 April 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Oracle's shares ever split?

Oracle's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 12 October 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Oracle shares - just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Oracle shares which in turn could have impacted Oracle's share price.
