Trump Tariffs Higher than Expected; What We're Doing
The Trump tariff increases came in larger than what we were expecting, and it remains to be seen how they will flow through the global economy, as we monitor potential retaliatory tariffs from other countries. As it relates to the equity markets, we’re taking a wait and see approach at the moment as we monitor new policy changes related to trade, immigration, fiscal (tax), and regulations. In short, we’re not overreacting to the sell off as we won’t have a great handle on the tariff impact to companies for a few quarters when they report results post-tariff increases. That said, we’re expecting continued market volatility, with meaningful risk to the downside, before trade uncertainty alleviates in the coming months.

Oracle Raises Dividend 25%
Image Source: TradingView. Oracle reported third quarter fiscal 2025 results March 10 that missed the consensus estimates, but a strong Remaining Performance Obligation number and a dividend raise were enough for investors. Total revenue increased 6% in USD and 8% in constant currency for the fiscal third quarter. GAAP earnings per share advanced 20% year-over-year, while non-GAAP earnings per share increased 4%, to $1.47. Total Remaining Performance Obligations jumped 62% in USD (up 63% in constant currency), to $130 billion.

Oracle’s Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) Growth Speaks to Accelerated Expansion
Image Source: Oracle. We particularly liked Oracle’s growth in total remaining performance obligations (RPO) in the quarter, which were up 49% in USD and 50% in constant currency year-over-year. During the past twelve months, Oracle’s operating cash flow came in at $20.3 billion, while free cash flow was $9.5 billion. The company ended the quarter with $11.3 billion in cash and marketable securities and $88.6 billion in notes payable and other borrowings. Though Oracle has a hefty net debt position and capital spending is expected to double in fiscal 2025, we still like the company’s cloud opportunity, and it remains a key holding in both the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio and simulated ESG Newsletter portfolio.

Oracle Expects Increased Revenue Growth Throughout Fiscal 2025
Image: Oracle’s shares have performed quite well during the past couple years. Oracle remains a key idea in both the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio as well as the ESG Newsletter portfolio, and its fiscal first quarter results support our bullish take on the name. Though Oracle has a rather large net debt position, free cash flow remains robust, while the company capitalizes on its total remaining performance obligations, which advanced 53% in the quarter on a year-over-year basis. We liked the commentary about revenue growth to accelerate throughout fiscal year 2025, and we point to the high end of our fair value estimate range ($178 per share) for shares.

Paper: Value and Momentum Within Stocks, Too
Abstract: This paper strives to advance the field of finance in four ways: 1) it extends the theory of the “The Arithmetic of Active Management” to the investor level; 2) it addresses certain data problems of factor-based methods, namely with respect to value and book-to-market ratios, while introducing price-to-fair-value ratios in a factor-based approach; 3) it may lay the foundation for academic literature regarding the Valuentum, the value-timing, and ultra-momentum factors; and 4) it walks through the potential relative outperformance that may be harvested at the intersection of relevant, unique and compensated factors within individual stocks.

Oracle Misses in Q4 But Bookings Performance and Outlook Strong
Image: Oracle’s shares have done quite well since the beginning of 2023, and management’s outlook speaks to continued strength. We liked Oracle’s cash flow performance for fiscal 2024 and outlook for not only fiscal 2025 but also its positive commentary associated with the momentum it has built for fiscal 2026. We continue to like Oracle as an idea for the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio and ESG Newsletter portfolio. Shares yield ~1.3% at the time of this writing.

Oracle Hits Optimistic Note in Fiscal Third Quarter
Image Source: Peter Kaminski. Oracle posted solid third-quarter fiscal 2024 results, drove nice growth across its cloud business, set an all-time record with respect to Remaining Performance Obligations, and spoke very positively (“hypergrowth”) about its Gen2 Cloud Infrastructure business. Oracle has a large net debt position due in part to its purchase of Cerner, but free cash flow of ~$8.52 billion for the first nine months of its fiscal year showcased robustness and a nice improvement on a year-over-year basis, as both operating cash flow advanced while capital spending fell. We continue to like Oracle as an idea in the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio.
