Oracle shares reversed lower in Friday cash trading after a post-earnings surge, closing at $150.28, down $2.66 or 1.74%, according to CNBC boards matched by TradingKey. The stock opened at $164.43, traded as high as $166.00, and printed a low of $149.84 before finishing near that floor. The session high of $166.00 was not the close. Thursday’s prior cash close was $152.94.
Reuters said Oracle shares rose about 3% in early Friday trading after Thursday’s after-hours beat, when extended trading had lifted the stock near $162.80, up about 6.45% from Thursday’s cash finish. That morning green did not hold into the close. Thursday’s fiscal first-quarter beat, including non-GAAP earnings of $1.92 a share and revenue near $19.3 billion, remains on the overnight earnings package; Friday’s story is the cash path to the close. Kiplinger rounded the Friday decline to about 1.7%. After-hours quotes below $150 are post-cash drift, not the regular-session finish.
