Summary of ROA (2020–
2024):

Oracle’s Return on Assets (ROA) shows how effectively the company used its assets to generate profit over the past five
years:

2020–2021: Oracle saw a strong increase in ROA, peaking at 10.48% in 2021. This indicates efficient use of assets during this period, possibly due to strong software and cloud business
• performance.

• 2022: ROA dropped sharply to 6.15%, likely due to increased investment or lower net income. This could reflect economic conditions, increased R&D spending, or acquisition impacts.

• 2023–2024: ROA gradually improved to 7.42% by 2024, suggesting recovery in profitability and better asset utilization.

Conclusion: While Oracle’s ROA dipped in 2022, the company showed signs of recovery. The overall trend reflects Oracle’s ongoing transformation into a cloud-first business and its ability to regain profitability over
time.
VALUATION
Beta (β) Interpretation:
 Measures stock volatility relative to
the market (S&P 500).
 Applovin (β = 2.48) is the
most volatile, while Oracle (β =
0.86) and service now (β = 1.21)
are relatively stable.
 Higher beta stocks (Servicenow,
Adobe, Palantir) are riskier but
offer higher potential returns.

R-Square (R²) Interpretation:


 All stocks have R² = 0.35,

Investment Implications:
 High Beta Stocks (Palantir,
Servicenow, Adobe): Suitable
for aggressive investors looking for high returns but with higher risk.
 Moderate Beta Stocks (Oracle, S e r v i c e n o w ): Better for those seeking
growth with controlled risk.
 Low R²: Market movements alone don’t strongly predict these stock
performances—company and industry analysis are essential.

11
DCF Interpretation

The DCF method measures the


intrinsic value of Oracle Corporation
by predicting the future cash flows in
relation to growth and profitability.
This model is formulated by
combining historical performance
data provided by the company and
combining it with the industry
outlook and competitive assessment
of Oracle Corporation.
The model uses Unlevered cash flow
which is the cash available for both
equity and debt holders, it is derived
by using the following formula:
EBIT (Earnings Before Interest &
Tax)
LESS: Tax
NOPAT (Net Operating Profit
after Tax)
ADD: Depreciation & Amortization
LESS: Change in Working Capital
LESS: CAPEX

12
FREE CASH FLOW TO THE FIRM
Every company needs to ensure its investments generate returns that satisfy both
shareholders (equity investors) and lenders (debt holders). The company’s Weighted
Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is 7%, meaning any project or investment should
earn at least this return to create value.

Cost of Equity – What Shareholders Expect


Shareholders expect a return on their investment based on how risky the company is. This
is measured using Beta, which shows how much the company’s stock moves compared to
the overall market:
Rating mathod
 Higher Risk : Shareholders expect a
Risk free rate 4.27%
return of 8.21%. Bottom beta 0.86
ERP 4.60%
 Lower Risk : Shareholders expect a cost of equity (Re) 8.21%
return of 5.54%.
Since shareholders invest their money in the business,
the company must aim for returns at least equal to or Debt% 31.39%

might look for better opportunities elsewhere. Bottom up beta 1.53

Cost of Debt – The Price of Borrowing

it must deliver strong returns to keep
shareholders satisfied.

Key Takeaways for the Business

 Since WACC is 7%, the company


must ensure all investments and
projects generate a return higher than
this.
 With low-cost debt (3.40%),
borrowing is affordable, but the
company prefers to rely on equity.
 Shareholders expect returns between
7.35% and 10.32%, so the company
must focus on growth and
profitability to meet their
expectations.
By managing its cost of capital wisely, the company can balance risk, attract investors,
and ensure long-term financial stability.

Gordan Growth Model
The Gordon Growth Model (GGM) is used to estimate the intrinsic value of a
company based on Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis. This valuation considers
the company's WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital), growth rate, and terminal
value to determine its per-share value.

Key Insights from the Valuation:

5. Equity Value Calculation
o Debt Adjustment: The firm’s total gross debt (88,624) is subtracted.
o Cash (10,941) is added back, as it represents liquid assets.
o Non-controlling interest (490) is deducted to reflect the actual equity owned
by common shareholders.
o DCF Value of Common Equity = 245,255, representing the total market value
of equity.

6. DCF Value Per Share (137.5)


o The equity value is divided by the number of outstanding shares (2,869) to
arrive at the DCF-based intrinsic value per share: ₹137.5
o If the company’s current market price per share is below ₹137.5, it may be
undervalued and a potential investment opportunity.
o If the market price is above ₹137.5, it may be overvalued, meaning the stock
might be expensive.
Recommendation
Since the CMP (₹169) is much higher than the fair value (₹137.5), it is a SELL
recommendation unless strong future growth justifies the premium valuation.

16
Exit Multiple Model
The Exit Multiple Model is a way to estimate a company’s value based on its future
earnings and market conditions. It applies an exit multiple (like EV/EBITDA) to predict
how much the company will be worth at the end of a forecast period.

Relative valuation Method
Relative Valuation Summary & Investment
Recommendations
The Relative Valuation Method compares
Oracle Corporation’s stock price to similar firms
using key financial ratios instead of intrinsic
valuation models like Discounted Cash Flow
(DCF). Below are the valuation results with
corresponding buy/sell recommendations:
As of 2024, Oracle's relative valuation is strong,
with a solid position in cloud computing, databases,
and enterprise software. The company’s consistent
revenue growth, coupled with its innovative
autonomous database and AI-driven solutions,
makes it an attractive investment. Compared to its
peers, Oracle’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio
remains competitive, suggesting potential
undervaluation. The acquisition of Cerner enhances
its healthcare tech offerings, expanding its market
reach. With strong cash flow, a stable dividend, and
a growing cloud infrastructure, Oracle is well-
positioned for continued growth. Investment
Recommendation: "Buy", suitable for long-term
investors seeking growth in the tech and cloud
sectors.
• Final Investment Recommendation for Oracle (2024):

• Growth-Oriented Investors (BUY):


• Valuation indicators suggest potential upside. Oracle's strong performance in
cloud, AI, and innovation could drive further growth. For investors focused on
long-term gains, buying at the current price is reasonable.

• Conservative Investors (SELL):


• Valuation metrics suggest that Oracle might be overvalued based on profitability
and revenue. Selling now could help lock in profits and reduce exposure to
potential downside if growth expectations aren’t met.

• Balanced Approach (HOLD & MONITOR):


• If uncertain, consider holding Oracle and monitoring its performance. Watch for
key price movements that may indicate whether the stock has further upside or if
it poses overvaluation risks

FOOTBALL FIELD ANALYSIS

A football field analysis is a visual tool used in finance to compare a company's


valuation across multiple methodologies, providing a comprehensive view of its
potential market value. It presents valuation ranges derived from different approaches
side by side, allowing for easy comparison and a holistic assessment.
The football field analysis provides a valuation range for the stock using multiple
valuation methods, including Perpetual Growth, Exit Multiple, Comparable
Company Analysis (CCA), Market Consensus, and 52-Week Trading Range.
 The lower end of the valuation is 68, while the higher end is 227.
 The Unaffected Price (current market price) is 172, which is at the lower
boundary of the valuation range.
 Some valuation methods (CCA, Market Consensus) suggest a potential upside
up to 239, indicating that the stock may be undervalued at its current price.
Recommendation – Should We Sell the Stock?
Since the stock is currently priced at 68, and multiple valuation methods suggest a
potential higher value (up to 227), the stock price of 172 significantly exceeds the
perpetual growth valuation range (68-112), indicating overvaluation. Selling now
secures profits and mitigates downside risk.
