Oracle’s Focus on AI to Boost Prospects

Oracle has revealed its plans to integrate generative AI features into its suite of applications. The company has disclosed a new collaboration with Cohere, a Canadian AI software company that competes with established players like OpenAI and Anthropic. Through this partnership, ORCL aims to enhance its offerings with advanced AI functionalities.

With the remarkable success of Chat GPT, AI is widely acknowledged as the future of the technology industry, which is capable of transforming various existing sectors.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Oracle is also vying with giants like Meta, Alphabet (GOOGL - Free Report) , and Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) in the race to invest in AI integration.

Technology firms recognize the importance of substantial investments to remain competitive and avoid losing market share and revenues. While these industry giants are all participating in the same race, their specific areas of focus vary slightly.

Meta is primarily concentrating on developing AI for managing extensive data and enhancing computing power. Alphabet aims to integrate AI into its search engine capabilities, while Amazon intends to use AI to improve its web services. In contrast, Oracle's primary focus is on harnessing AI within its cloud infrastructure tools.

Shares of Oracle, which currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), have gained 29.9% year to date compared with the Zacks Computer and Technology sector’s rise of 31.4% due to being a late entrant in the AI market. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
