Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is currently considered one of the best stocks to buy, according to market analysts.
On January 12, 2026, more than 70% of analysts expressed bullish sentiment on the stock, setting a price target of $291.34, which represents a potential upside of 46.80%.
That same day, Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Oracle with a 'Buy' rating and a $240 price target. The firm, which began coverage across 12 software companies, stated that AI adoption will drive the total addressable markets of software over the next decade. It views Oracle as well positioned to capture a higher market share in infrastructure-as-a-service, citing the company's cloud scale, enterprise relationships, and expanding data center footprint.
A week earlier, UBS provided more cautious commentary, lowering its price target on Oracle from $325 to $280 while maintaining a 'Buy' rating. The firm adjusted the target following a 41% decline in the stock from mid-September highs, attributing the drop to investor concerns about the company's outlook and increasing attention toward OpenAI-related stocks. UBS remains confident, highlighting pending revenue growth, the ramp-up of Abilene data center capacity, and a possible sentiment reversal around AI exposure in the first half of 2026. The firm noted that credit and financing risks are already incorporated.
