Winston Score History

The full picture

Oracle makes software that helps large companies store, organize, and manage their data. Its core products are databases, business management software (called ERP), and cloud computing services. Customers include banks, hospitals, governments, and big corporations around the world that need reliable systems to run their daily operations.

Oracle earns money through software licenses, cloud subscriptions, and support contracts. It operates globally, with a large share of revenue coming from North America, Europe, and Asia. With a market cap above $590 billion and gross margins near 66%, Oracle benefits from high switching costs — once a company builds its operations around Oracle's database or ERP system, replacing it is expensive and risky. The key growth driver is its cloud infrastructure business, which competes directly with Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, though Oracle is significantly smaller than both and faces real pressure to keep pace with their scale and investment.
