ORCL

Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) is a multinational computer technology corporation founded in 1977 by Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates. Originally established as Software Development Laboratories, the company was renamed Oracle Corporation in 1982 after its flagship database product. Headquartered in Austin, Texas since 2020, Oracle has evolved from a database software company into a comprehensive enterprise technology provider offering cloud computing services, database management systems, and enterprise software applications. The company went public in 1986 and has grown through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, including the landmark $28.3 billion acquisition of Cerner Corporation in 2022, which significantly expanded Oracle's presence in the healthcare technology sector.
