From TikTok to Tech Stocks

Oracle Surges with TikTok Deal, Signals Major Shift in Tech Landscape and Digital Entertainment Investments


Listen Later

The rise of TikTok has transformed not just the way people engage with social media but also the trajectory of global tech stocks, with recent events highlighting just how deeply intertwined these two worlds have become. Oracle's recent 2.97% surge on the back of its landmark TikTok U.S. deal shows the kind of market impact these partnerships can create. The deal, which gives Oracle a 45% stake in TikTok’s U.S. business alongside Silver Lake and MGX, is not just about data storage or app hosting—it’s about power in a politically charged reshaping of digital entertainment in America. Oracle’s stake has stirred enthusiasm among investors and analysts, with Bernstein raising its price target to $364 and JMP Securities issuing a bullish 'market outperform' rating.

But not everyone is convinced the hype is sustainable. Rothschild & Co Redburn’s 'strong sell' reminds investors that valuation and profitability risks remain, particularly given Oracle’s ambitious $18 billion debt issuance to help finance its TikTok investment. Technical signals offer a mixed picture: Oracle shares are trading near their upper Bollinger Band around $289.60, oversold indicators suggest potential for a short-term rebound, but with volatility elevated, opportunities and risks run high.

Listeners trading options are honing in on Oracle’s October calls—specifically the ORCL20251010C290 and ORCL20251010C295 contracts—with each offering a blend of leverage and gamma for those expecting more upside, fueled by the TikTok and AI narratives. Underneath the trading activity is Oracle’s real business growth. Its second-quarter 2023 earnings showed an 18% year-over-year revenue increase and significant advances in its cloud services, accounting now for the bulk of the company’s revenue. Oracle’s recent acquisition of Cerner and its march into healthcare IT have solidified its foundation for future growth, but many on Wall Street remain laser-focused on what the TikTok deal might mean for its competitive position and future earnings.

The momentum in TikTok-themed digital assets is not limited to stocks. CoinCodex reports that the Tiktok token, trading recently at $0.00003201, is projected to see some short-term downside, reflecting wider ranging uncertainty in both traditional and digital markets that intersect with the social media giant. From AI-driven growth bets to shifting sector-wide capital flows, TikTok’s global showdown isn’t just influencing headlines—it’s shaping fortunes and strategies for some of the world’s largest tech players. According to analysts following the Data Processing & Outsourced Services sector, the ripple effects from the Oracle-TikTok dynamic are reinforcing the sector’s pivotal role in the next digital wave.
