Guru stock highlight

The largest contributor to performance for the quarter was Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) (U.S.), which returned 12%. Shares reacted positively to stronger-than-expected fiscal third quarter results from the cloud-based business. We believe Oracle’s successful transition to the cloud indicates that the company is on the right track. Management also recently announced a $10 billion increase to Oracle’s existing share repurchase program. Even though its stock has enjoyed recent price increases, we believe Oracle remains undervalued relative to its normalized earnings power.
