Oracle (ORCL) Stock Predictions: What Investors Should Expect in 2026 and Beyond

Oracle (ORCL) forecast

Oracle has long been a player in the business software space, but has breathed new life into its old business model by remaking itself as a cloud computing provider. It's renewing interest not only by supporting big names like OpenAI, but also as the now-part owner in TikTok. It's a hugely underappreciated stock by many, with a history of quiet and unsexy innovation that has proven it can go the distance in fields that are important to daily life, but not so flashy.

2026 forecast

In mid-January 2026, Oracle had massive unrealized potential on the table due to the recent acquisition of TikTok holdings. Once merely the landlord of this property, it's now also going to be able to draw income directly from it. This doesn't hurt the stock's value potential at all. The price of the stock shot up on TikTok talks, but has since calmed down and seems to be normalizing somewhat.

Wall Street is also paying close attention to this one, with 43 analyst recommendations in January 2026, 26 of which were Buys and 10 were Holds. This is not a completely eager signal, but perhaps a more measured one, given the vast amount of unknowns that TikTok will be throwing into the equation. Even so, Wall Street has set an average price target of $288 for January versus Oracle's closing price in mid-January of $177.16.

That being said, technical analysis website CoinCodex feels very differently about the stock, predicting only a $168.09 average annualized price for 2026. So, depending on who you trust the most, either Oracle is a bang-up deal right now, or it's flatlining for the rest of the year.

2030 forecast

As uncertain as the 2026 forecast looks for Oracle share prices, 2030 is a lot more positive. It is likely that TikTok will continue onward. It's expected that its huge user base and successful advertising platform can make a lot of money for its new owners. But Oracle isn't a one-trick pony, and also has plenty of other revenue streams, including new long-term deals with OpenAI to provide additional bandwidth.

CoinCodex sees a 2030 average annualized price of $385.86, a massive premium over today's price.

Oracle highlights and risks

Oracle has long been a stable and productive stock for shareholders, and as it made its transition into cloud computing, it has remained a reliable winner. That being said, every tech stock has risks that should be considered. Here are some things to think about when thinking about Oracle stock prices.

• Oracle is now a part owner of TikTok. This is the headline news right now, and for good reason. This platform stands to be a direct and equal competitor to Meta (META +2.10%) when it comes to advertising revenue, without the uncertainty that Chinese ownership was bringing into the mix for American and European companies. This could spell big profits for Oracle, which both owns and rents space to the short video platform.
• It has a long history of database management competency. Blingy headlines aside, Oracle has a long and proven history of database management for some of the largest companies in the world, and that's not changing any time soon. It's difficult for companies of these sizes to leave their cloud platforms due to the complexity of the transition, so Oracle would have to do something pretty egregious to lose their business and their trust.
• AI bets are less certain. Although Oracle has made a deal with OpenAI to lease space for additional computing power, it is building even bigger data centers in hopes that more AI opportunities materialize. This is a big risk for the company in a relatively uncertain future. It might pay out, and it might not. But since it's not Oracle's only bet, it's unlikely to destroy the value of the stocks if it doesn't work.
