Oracle, the global software and cloud company, will release its first-quarter results for fiscal year 2027 on the 10th (local time). As demand for artificial intelligence (AI) computing grows and competition in cloud infrastructure investment accelerates, market attention is focused on whether Oracle's growth momentum will continue into this quarter.

■ Earnings Announcement Schedule... Conference Call at 4 p.m. Central Time

Oracle announced on the 2nd in Austin, Texas, that it will report its fiscal year 2027 first-quarter results on the 10th after the regular trading session ends on the U.S. stock market. Immediately after the announcement, a conference call and live webcast will be held at 4 p.m. Central Time. Executives are expected to explain the quarterly results and key business developments during the call. In Korean time, the earnings results and executives' comments are expected to be fully reflected in the market early on the morning of the 11th.

■ Key Focus: Cloud Growth and AI Infrastructure Investment

The market's focus in these earnings is the growth of the cloud business. Oracle has been expanding its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) based on its enterprise software and database businesses, and recently, with rising AI computing demand, the cloud infrastructure business has taken on an increasingly large share of its operations.

Accordingly, key variables for this quarter are expected to be ▲the impact of expanded investment in large-scale data centers and AI-related infrastructure on earnings ▲the outlook for the cloud business going forward ▲management's message on capital expenditure plans.
