Oracle Needs More Clarity in GPUaaS Margin Profile, Morgan Stanley Says

-- Oracle (ORCL) showed improved confidence in Q3 with execution and demand, but uncertainty persists around GPU as a Service business margin, Morgan Stanley said in a Thursday note.

The report said Oracle shares have risen more than 20% over the past two weeks partly on continued strength in AI compute demand data points and improved sentiment on compute capex.

"Further improvement in investor sentiment on AI related hyperscaler/neocloud capex and customer concentration risk could yield further upside," the report said.

"However additional clarity in the gross margin profile of the GPUaaS business and financing path going forward (and a right-sizing of longer-term targets) would be needed to get more strategically positive on the shares," the note added.

Morgan Stanley kept its equal weight rating while lowering its price target to $207 from $213 on balanced risk-reward profile.

Price: $177.79, Change: $-9.71, Percent Change: -5.18%

Research Alert: America Movil Reports 25% Jump In Profit, Supported By Strong Wireless Adds

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:America Movil delivered strong Q1 results with net income rising 25.1% to MXP23.4B and earnings of MXP0.39 per share, while revenue increased 2.1% in peso terms but 6.1% at constant currency despite peso strength. Service revenue grew 4.6% at constant rates, led by mobile platform expansion of 6.4% with robust postpaid (+7.3%) and accelerating prepaid (+5.0%) growth across Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. The company added 3.0M wireless subscribers, all postpaid, while EBITDA climbed 8.0% at constant currency with margin expanding to 39.9%, reflecting disciplined cost management and improving operating leverage. Management noted improving economic conditions in Mexico with rising wages positively affecting prepaid revenues. We believe the company's continued network investments in 5G and fiber expansion, combined with strong balance sheet metrics including conservative 1.41x net debt-to-EBITDA and proposed MXP10B buyback, position AMX well for sustained growth.
