Better Cloud and AI Stock: Oracle vs. Amazon
Should you invest in the underdog or the cloud leader?
Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) represent two different ways to invest in the growing cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) services markets.
Oracle, one of the world's largest database software companies, transformed many of its on-premise applications into cloud-based services over the past decade. It also expanded its own public cloud infrastructure platform to provide remote storage and computing power for enterprise customers. Amazon is the world's largest e-commerce company, but it also owns the largest cloud infrastructure platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Oracle is often considered a slower-growth stock than Amazon. But over the past three years, Oracle's stock more than doubled as Amazon's stock rose about 40%. Let's see why Oracle outperformed Amazon, and if it remains the better buy right now.
