Licence shift adds to complexity

ORCL's cloud transition remains unpredictable, with on-premise strength and deteriorating cloud growth likely to be disconcerting for investors. The company insists this reflects demand for licences that can then be used in the cloud, but this new development adds another layer of complexity in understanding the dynamics of Oracle's migration. That said, mid to high single digit EPS growth over the medium term still looks the right base case. Maintain Neutral.
