The last quarter was sub-par for Oracle.

The revenue from cloud services and license support increased by 1% to $6.8 billion. Hardware revenue lost 9% to $901 million. The revenue for services had the most significant drop – 11% to $735 million.
Oracle stocks gained 2.5% during regular trading hours, but dropped more than 4% after-hours. USA30 went up by 2%. Overall, the share price gained more than 3%, while TECH100 gained 10%, and USA500 lost 3%.
