Shares of Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), declined -1.47% to $37.26, during its last trading session, after a downgrade to “market underperform” from “market perform” at JMP Securities.
The downgrade reflects greater pressure by Amazon.com (AMZN), higher customer dissatisfaction with the company’s pricing and auditing policies, concerns that some cloud deals might not go live, and probable internal concerns about revenue levels, JMP Securities said in a note.
Oracle has missed the consensus revenue estimate in seven of the past nine quarters, and has missed the consensus non-GAAP earnings per share estimate in four of the past nine quarters, the firm added.
In other news, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, has contracted with Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) to provide a series of services to streamline the university’s finance, administration reporting, and human resources (HR) functions.

Rutgers decided to take a “cloud first” approach to overhaul these legacy systems.

The SOMNIUM®DRT Atmel Studio Extension is the only product that offers improved code generation while maintaining full compatibility with industry-standard GNU tools that are widely used by Atmel customers.

Developers using SOMNIUM’s DRT products have a noteworthy advantage over their competitors, reaching the market faster with higher performance, greater energy efficiency and more profitable designs.
