Oracle will not publish RPO by customer, and what it does publish points at concentration: four customers each signed for more than $8B in a single quarter, and in the GPU renewal cohort fewer than half the customers came back. Management's answer is that the non-renewed capacity was resold inside the quarter at 97.5% global utilisation — true, and also exactly what you would expect while demand exceeds supply. This case asks what the book is worth if that stops being true.

Fusion and NetSuite-class ERP, HCM, CX and industry suites — the business Oracle spent a decade building before AI arrived. It grew 11% in FY2026 to $15.9B and has grown between 9% and 13% in every quarter of the last two years, which is the point: it is the stable half of cloud and the reason total cloud growth is not a pure function of GPU deliveries.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • This line is remarkably steady — 10%, 10%, 9%, 12%, 11%, 11%, 13%, 10% year over year across the eight reported quarters — which is why a growth driver costs almost nothing in fidelity here and why it anchors the non-AI half of the story.
  • Oracle gave one piece of forward colour that is not modellable: SaaS deferred revenue grew 16% in Q4, faster than the 10% revenue growth. That is a leading indicator with no disclosed conversion rate, so it is noted rather than used.
