Oracle shares fell for a seventh consecutive session on Monday, even as the company's AI backlog buildout hit $638 billion, despite strong market optimism.
The decline marks the stock's longest losing streak since 2021, a remarkable slide for the tech giant.
Analysts at Barron's suggest investors to buy, viewing the slump as a buying opportunity, and they highlight the potential upside from AI contracts.
But Bloomberg cautioned that Oracle's heavy spending on AI data centers may not pay off, saying the outlays could outweigh short-term gains.
Piper Sandler held its rating on the stock, pointing to increase in AI capacity, and cited rising demand for cloud services.
The company has not commented on the analyst split, leaving investors without clarity about the next move.
