$Oracle(ORCL)$ Oracle Corporation (NYSE: ORCL) has stunned investors this year, with its stock climbing to all-time highs on the back of renewed optimism over its cloud ambitions. Once dismissed as a fading legacy software giant, Oracle is now billing itself as a key player in the booming cloud infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI) revolution.
