Oracle is riding the cloud to all-time highs above dotcom bubble levels

Amazon isn’t the only company that will make money from cloud computing and artificial intelligence, according to KeyBanc Capital Markets.

The firm raised its rating on Oracle shares to overweight from sector weight, predicting its cloud sales will double during the next two years.

“We are upgrading ORCL based on solid cloud execution and partner feedback that increases our confidence in its ability to accelerate the conversion of more than 400,000 existing customers to its new cloud offerings,” analyst Monika Garg wrote in a note to clients Tuesday. “New AI and ML [machine learning] functionality could further solidify this multiyear transformation, in our view.”

Garg initiated her price target for Oracle at $61, representing 24 percent upside from Monday’s close.

Oracle shares reached an all-time high last month, surpassing dot-com bubble era levels for the first time. Investors are driving the stock higher as they grow optimistic on the company’s transition to cloud-based offerings.

The analyst said her checks with consulting firms at industry conferences revealed rising adoption of Oracle’s cloud services by its customers. She cited how only 3.4 percent of the firm’s customer base have signed up for its cloud-based offerings, which means there is a large opportunity for growth.

As a result, the analyst predicts cloud sales will rise to 25 percent of Oracle’s total revenue by 2019 from 13 percent this year.

“Oracle is in the midst of a multiyear transition from traditional on-premise software licensing and maintenance support to a model driven by cloud subscriptions,” she wrote. “Unlike previous innovation cycles, the value of AI will be derived from the scale of data, helping elevate the power of incumbency for those having a large customer installed base and unique data sets.”

Oracle is now the highest weighted stock in the CNBC IQ 100 index.

Oracle gets big index bump based on cloud, cybersecurity

The CNBC IQ 100 Index gained 9.13 percent in the first half of 2017, outpacing the S&P 500′s 8.24 percent gain.

As part of its rules-based methodology, the index has been re-weighted for the third quarter. 3M and Oracle are now the two highest-weighted companies in the index. Microsoft lost its spot as the top-weighted company and is now tied for fifth-highest weight with C R Bard and International Paper. MCAM International, the firm whose proprietary algorithms power the CNBC IQ 100, executed the re-weighting for CNBC.

“What you have in Oracle is a focus on cloud accessibility, interoperability, and more importantly, security,” MCAM founder David Martin said on CNBC’s Squawk Alley Monday. “The more we hear about cybersecurity, the more we hear about those internal issues around how people are managing and interacting with data, the more Oracle is going to be in a very compelling position going forward.”

Oracle shares gained more than 30 percent in the first half of the year. On Wednesday, an analyst at KeyBanc Capital suggested the stock had more room to run.

3M’s weighting may have been helped by a recent FDA decision to allow expanded usage of its Tegaderm wound care brand. According to MCAM, this is an example of how a company can deploy its intellectual property to open up new market opportunities.

The companies in the CNBC IQ 100 Index are weighted according to each one’s ability to invest in, develop, control and deploy intellectual property to achieve strategic advantage over competitors. Companies with the highest weighting maintain this type of advantage across multiple industries. 3M is considered one of the most diverse companies in the index, with strong competitive advantages in chemicals, materials, electronics, medical, and consumer products, according to MCAM.

With the re-weighting, Boeing moves from fourth place to third, while chipmaker Micron Technology slipped from second to fourth. JPMorgan Chase and Dow Chemical are now out of the top five.

The CNBC IQ 100 Index is re-weighted quarterly, and components are rebalanced annually.

CR Bard was the biggest second-quarter gainer among the 100 stocks in the index. Shares of the medical device maker jumped 27 percent in the second quarter, with most of the gain coming on news that broke in April that it will be acquired by Becton Dickinson, also an IQ 100 component.

Oilfield services company Nabors Industries was the IQ 100′s biggest loser in the second quarter, tumbling more than 37 percent.
