Software giant Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) could highlight its AI progress when the company reports third-quarter financial results after market close Monday.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Oracle to report third-quarter revenue of $14.39 billion, up from $11.45 billion in last year’s third quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company missed revenue estimates in the second quarter and has missed revenue estimates from analysts in seven of the last 10 quarters.

Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $1.49, up from $1.41 in last year’s third quarter. The company missed analyst estimates in the second quarter, while beating estimates in eight of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Experts Are Saying: Oracle stock could be highly volatile after Monday’s earnings report, Freedom Capital Markets chief global strategist Jay Woods said in a weekly newsletter.

“Shares of the software giant have fallen over 20% from their December peak and are trading at their lowest levels since last September. They missed earnings last quarter and fell even further on the uncertainty around the competition from DeepSeek.”

Woods said the one-day implied move is +/- 9.2% for Oracle stock, a move that could impact several ETFs that count the stock as a top holding including the SPDR-Select Technology ETF (NYSE:XLK).

Last week Oracle stock closed below its 200-day moving average for the first time since February of 2025. Woods questions if the stock can stay above this support area after earnings.

“There are some positive signs and good risk/reward set-ups to watch as we head into Monday afternoon’s earnings release.”

JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy maintained a Neutral rating ahead of the earnings report.

The analyst said Oracle could have a spike in remaining performance obligations. Murphy said Oracle’s heavy debt load could be a concern and an area for investors to watch.

Oracle should have several large AI-related deals in the quarter and could highlight its role in Project Stargate, Murphy added.

Key Items to Watch: Along with AI revenue and deals, another key item to watch will be if Oracle comments on the TikTok sale process. Oracle is a partner with TikTok and could be involved in the future or move to the side, depending on which bidding group, if any, ends up acquiring the company.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has been mentioned by President Donald Trump as an interested party in TikTok, but Oracle has been relatively quiet about its intentions regarding an acquisition.

Oracle’s cloud revenue was $5.9 billion in the second quarter, up 24% year-over-year. The increase came from “record level AI demand.”

Ellison said Oracle will continue to see impressive growth thanks to artificial intelligence.

“Oracle trained AI models and AI Agents will improve the rate of scientific discovery, economic development and corporate growth throughout the world. The scale of the opportunity is unimaginable,” Ellison said.

Analysts and investors will likely be hoping for the company to beat revenue and earnings per share estimates and provide a bullish look on the future outlook of the company.

ORCL Price Action: Oracle stock is down 4.8% to $147.72 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $111.18 to $198.31. Oracle shares are down 11% year-to-date in 2025, while up 29% over the last year.

Good Morning Traders! In today’s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.

Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.

We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market’s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let’s dive into the stock analysis:

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)

SPY is currently trading around our level of 569.98. For the bulls, we’re watching for an initial push higher toward 571.06. If buyers can sustain momentum above this level, we anticipate a move up to 572.15, which will be a key test of strength. Should the auction hold above 572.15 during regular trading hours, the upside target extends to 573.50, with an ultimate bullish objective at 574.65.

If 569.98 fails to hold as support, bears will look to test the 569.16 level. A break below this could accelerate selling toward 567.81. If downward pressure persists and sellers dominate, we expect to see price action challenge 566.46. In an extended sell-off, the low bear target for today sits at 565.38.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)

The QQQs are currently trading near 486.10, an important level in today’s session. Bulls will want to establish support above 487.69 to set the stage for higher prices. If this level is secured, buyers could push the auction toward 490.05. A sustained move above 490.05 could lead to further upside targeting 491.82, with a strong bullish session potentially bringing a test of 493.60. The high bull target for the Qs today is 495.35.

If 486.10 is lost as support, bears will aim for a drop toward 483.95. Should selling pressure intensify, the next key level to watch is 481.73. A deeper sell-off could see a test of 479.03. If 479.03 fails to hold, we expect continued downside action to our low bear target of 476.85.

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Apple is currently trading near 235.74. Bulls need to defend this level to build momentum for a move higher. If strength is present, we anticipate a test of 236.69, with continued buying leading to 237.49. A sustained bid could bring further upside movement toward 238.63, which serves as the high bull target for the day.

If 235.74 is lost as support, sellers are likely to test 234.97. Should selling pressure persist, the auction could push lower to 234.20. If 234.20 is breached, the next downside level to watch is 233.28. A strong bearish move could take price action to our low bear target of 231.76.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Microsoft is currently auctioning around 388.53. Bulls need to maintain strength above this level to initiate an upward move toward 389.29. Holding 389.29 as support could fuel further gains, with 390.98 becoming the next area of interest. Continued momentum could bring MSFT to our high bull target of 392.49.

If 388.53 does not hold, we expect the bears to take control and push price action lower toward 387.60. If this level breaks down, 386.09 comes into focus as the next downside test. Sustained weakness could lead to a move toward 385.42, with the final bearish objective for the day at 384.57.

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA is currently trading near 110.73. Bulls will be looking for an initial move toward 111.70, with a strong hold above this level opening the door for a test of 112.54. If buyers maintain control, we anticipate a push higher to 113.68. In a strong bullish scenario, the high bull target for the day sits at 114.29.

If 110.73 is lost as support, we expect sellers to test 109.86. A break below this level could lead to further downside action toward 109.12. If selling pressure remains persistent, the next critical level to watch is 107.51. A deep pullback could see the auction move to our low bear target of 106.30.

Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL)

Alphabet is currently auctioning around 171.14. Bulls will need to defend this level and push price action toward 172.28. If buying pressure is sustained, we could see a rally toward 174.01, which serves as the high bull target for the day.

If 171.14 fails to hold, bears will likely attempt to take price lower to 169.34. Should selling pressure increase, the next key downside level is 167.04. A break below 167.04 could lead to a move toward our low bear target of 165.41.

Meta Platforms Inc (META)

Meta is currently trading near 615.65. Bulls will need to maintain strength above this level to target an upside move toward 622.01. If buyers sustain control, we could see a push toward 629.88. A strong rally today could bring Meta to our high bull target of 635.49.

If 615.65 does not hold as support, bears are likely to drive price action lower toward 609.30. A break below this level could trigger further selling down to 604.50. If downside momentum continues, we expect the auction to reach our low bear target of 598.17.

Tesla Inc. (TSLA)

Tesla is currently trading around 256.34. Bulls need to hold this level and push price action up to 257.56. If this level is reclaimed as support, we expect buyers to test 259.81. A strong bullish auction could drive the price toward 262.68, with the high bull target sitting at 264.46.

If 256.34 fails as support, the bears will likely push for a move lower to 254.28. Continued selling pressure could bring 252.38 into play. If 252.38 is breached, the next downside target is 250.25, which serves as the low bear target for the day.

Final Word:

As we kick off the trading week, economic data is on the lighter side. At 11:00 AM ET, we will get the New York Fed’s Survey of Consumer Expectations for February, which could offer insight into consumer sentiment and inflation expectations. Later, at 11:30 AM ET, the Treasury will conduct auctions for 3-month and 6-month bills. While today lacks high-impact economic releases, market participants should remain cautious as liquidity conditions and technical levels could play a key role in price action. Trade with discipline and manage risk accordingly.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)

SPY is currently trading around our key level of 573.50. Bulls will want to see strength above this level, leading to a push toward 574.65. If buyers maintain control above 574.65, we anticipate a move to 575.67. Holding this level as support could open the door for an advance toward 576.62. If momentum remains strong, the high bull target for the session is set at 577.87.

Should 573.50 fail to hold as support, bears are likely to challenge 572.15. Further weakness could see price breaking down to 571.06. If sellers remain aggressive and this level gives way, we have strong support at 569.98. In the event of significant selling pressure, our downside target for the day sits at 569.16.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)

QQQ is currently positioned around our key level of 490.05. For bulls, maintaining support at this level is crucial. If buyers step in and defend 490.05, we expect an upward push toward 491.82. Continued strength could drive the price to 493.60, with bullish momentum potentially testing 495.35. If the uptrend extends, our high bull target for the day is 496.94.

If 490.05 cannot hold as support, bears will look to push the price lower to 487.69. A breakdown below this level could see further declines to 486.10. Should selling pressure persist, we anticipate a test of 483.95. If this support fails to hold, our low bear target for the session is 481.73.

Apple Inc. (AAPL)

Apple is currently trading near our level of 234.20. Bulls need to see 234.97 hold as support to fuel a move higher. If buyers gain traction, we anticipate a rally toward 235.74.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)

Microsoft is currently auctioning around 395.68. For bulls, holding above this level is essential. If 395.68 acts as solid support, we anticipate an upward move to 397.65. Continued buying pressure could lead to a test of 398.38. Should momentum remain strong, our high bull target for Microsoft today is 399.21.

If 395.68 fails to hold, bears will likely push the price lower to 394.46. Further weakness could see the auction testing 393.47. If selling intensifies, we expect a move down to 392.49. In the event of sustained bearish pressure, our low bear target for the day is 390.98.

NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)

If 111.70 does not hold as support, bears will aim to drive the price down to 110.73. Should this level break, we anticipate a decline toward 109.86. If sellers maintain pressure, the auction could test 109.12. In a strong selloff, NVIDIA may reach our low bear target of 107.51.

Good Morning Traders! In today’s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.

Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.

We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market’s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let’s dive into the stock analysis:

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY)

SPY is currently trading around our key level of 576.62. Bulls need to maintain support at this level to push higher toward 577.87. If buyers can establish 577.87 as a solid floor, we anticipate a move to 579.12. Should momentum persist, the next upside target would be 580.67, with the potential to extend toward 600.51 if buying remains aggressive.

If SPY fails to hold 576.62, sellers may test the strength of 575.67. Continued weakness could drive the auction lower to 574.65. If that level gives way under sustained selling, the next key downside area is 573.50, with a potential drop to 572.15 if bears take full control of the session.

Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:QQQ)

QQQ is currently positioned around 495.35. If buyers can defend this level, we anticipate a push to 496.94. A breakout above that could lead to a test of 498.37. Strong bullish participation may extend the move to 499.44, with a high bull target for today set at 501.07.

Should 495.35 fail as support, we look for sellers to take charge, targeting 493.60. Increased bearish activity could bring a test of 491.82. If weakness persists, we expect 490.05 to be challenged, with further downside possibly extending to our low bear target of 487.69.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)

Apple is currently auctioning near 234.20. Bulls need to establish support above this level to drive price action to 234.97. If strength continues, we anticipate a push to 235.74. Further upside momentum could bring 236.69 into play, with a high bull target of 237.49.

If 234.20 fails as support, we expect sellers to press for a move down to 233.28. If this level is lost, the next downside test is 231.76. Continued bearish pressure could bring a move to 230.25, with a potential extension lower to our bear target of 229.03.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT)

Microsoft is currently positioned around 395.68. If bulls can sustain support at this level, a move toward 397.65 is in play. Holding above 397.65 would increase the likelihood of a push to 398.38. A strong session could see price action reaching our high bull target of 399.21.

If 395.68 fails as support, we look for the bears to drive the auction lower to 394.46. Further weakness could lead to a breakdown toward 393.47. If selling pressure remains dominant, we expect a move down to 392.49, with a low bear target of 390.98.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA)
NVIDIA is trading near 113.68, a key level to watch. If bulls can defend this area, we anticipate a push toward 114.29. A successful breakout could lead to a rally up to 115.15. Sustained bullish pressure may see a test of 115.83, with a high bull target of 116.61.

If 113.68 does not hold, bears are likely to drive the price lower to 112.54. A breakdown of that level could bring 111.70 into play. If weakness persists, we expect a test of 110.73, with further selling pressure potentially pushing price action to our low bear target of 109.86.

Alphabet Inc Class A (NASDAQ:GOOGL)

Alphabet is currently trading around 171.14. Bulls need to maintain support at this level for an upward move to 172.28. Continued buying momentum could push price action toward 174.01, which serves as today’s high bull target.

If 171.14 is lost as support, sellers will likely drive the auction lower to 169.34. A further breakdown could lead to a test of 167.04. If the bearish trend strengthens, the price may extend down to our low bear target of 165.41.

Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META)

Meta is trading near 650.56. If bulls hold this level as support, we expect a move to 655.54. A continued uptrend could see price action testing 658.86, with a high bull target of 663.33 if buyers remain in control.

If 650.56 is lost as support, bears are likely to push for a test of 646.48. Additional selling could drive the price down to 642.59. If weakness persists, we look for a further move lower to our low bear target of 635.49.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)

Tesla is auctioning around 272.42. Bulls need to hold this level for an attempt at 275.07. A strong move above 275.07 could bring 278.11 into play. If buyers sustain momentum, Tesla could reach 279.43, with a high bull target at 281.32.

If 272.42 does not hold as support, we expect sellers to test 269.48. A breakdown of this level could see price action move toward 266.83. If bearish pressure persists, we anticipate a further drop to our low bear target of 264.46.

Semiconductor giant Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO) will be hoping to get back to a streak of beating analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share when the company reports first-quarter financial results after market close on Thursday.

Here are the key analyst estimates and items to watch.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect Broadcom to report first-quarter revenue of $14.61 billion, up from $11.96 billion in last year’s first quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company missed analyst estimates for revenue in the fourth quarter, while it has beaten estimates in eight of the last 10 quarters.

Analysts expect the company to report earnings per share of $1.49, up from $1.10 in last year’s first quarter. The company missed estimates in the fourth quarter, while it has beaten analyst estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters overall.

Key Items to Watch: Broadcom recently unveiled VeloSky, a new networking solution to enhance 5G and satellite services. Broadcom hopes the new product can help diversify and unlock new revenue.

The news follows Broadcom’s partnership with Micron Technology for AI infrastructure expansion announced last month.

While these items are new for the current quarter and won’t factor into first-quarter results, they could find their way into guidance for the current fiscal year and company commentary.

Another item to watch that Broadcom likely won’t discuss in comments but could be asked about by analysts is a report that the semiconductor company is interested in acquiring portions of Intel Corp in a breakup.

A potential deal could see Broadcom getting Intel’s chip design and marketing business with Taiwan Semiconductor getting Intel’s chip plants.

Despite the fourth-quarter miss for revenue and earnings per share, Broadcom had several full fiscal year records including Semiconductor revenue hitting a record $30.1 billion driven by AI revenue of $12.2 billion.

Future guidance and commentary on the semiconductor industry could provide investors and analysts with an update on price targets and an outlook for the stock compared to peers.

• Morgan Stanley: Maintained Overweight rating, lowered price target from $265 to $246
• Barclays: Maintained Overweight rating, raised price target from $205 to $260
