Oracle reported

  • Q4 EPS of $0.78 (analysts expected $0.87 earnings per share, according to Yahoo Finance).
  • Q4 revenues of $10.7 billion (analysts expected $10.95 billion.)

So that's a miss all the way around. And that's significant since Oracle's fourth quarter is typically its strongest as sales people close deals to make their annual quotas.

The stock is down over 6% in after-hours trading.

Analyst expected Oracle's revenue to be feeling the foreign exchange rate, which has been hurting many large international US companies of late.
