Oracle Corporation (ORCL) Stock Inflation-Adjusted

Oracle Corporation (ORCL) is a multinational computer technology company that specializes in database software and technology, cloud engineered systems and enterprise software products.

Stock price movements alone don't reveal the complete picture of investment returns when inflation diminishes the real value of money over time. Understanding a company's actual performance requires accounting for inflation's impact on investment gains. This page uses the US Consumer Price Index to adjust Oracle's historical stock prices, stripping away inflation effects to display true performance.

Nominal prices are adjusted for stock splits and assume reinvestment of any dividends to reflect total return. Inflation-adjusted prices use June 2025 as the baseline (latest available CPI).

The current value of Oracle Corporation stock is 234.96 (as of the close of Jul 15, 2025), 0.99% lower than the all-time high of 237.32 (Jul 3, 2025).

Since March 12, 1986, the inflation-adjusted total return for the stock has been 155,372%, which is equivalent to an annual growth rate of 20.54%.

In nominal values, the total return since this date has been 460,829%, or an annualized rate of 23.91%.

Inflation-Adjusted Values by Month

This data presents Oracle's end-of-month closing levels over time. Inflation-adjusted figures show what past levels would be worth using roughly today's purchasing power (based on the latest CPI data). The latest entry in the table will have equal nominal and adjusted values until the next CPI figures are released.

Inflation in Oracle Operations

Oracle faces low to moderate inflation impact due to its software-focused business model and enterprise customer base with long-term contracts.

  • Data Center Operations: Inflation in energy costs, hardware and facility expenses affects Oracle's cloud infrastructure and data center operations worldwide.
  • Sales & Support: Wage inflation for technical sales teams, customer support staff and consulting services can impact operational costs across global markets.
  • Research & Development: Rising costs for skilled software engineers, cloud infrastructure and technology development can increase R&D expenses, which represent a significant portion of Oracle's operational budget.

Oracle's enterprise software model provides strong protection against inflation through several key advantages. The company's long-term contracts with enterprise customers often include escalation clauses that allow for periodic price adjustments, helping maintain margins as costs rise.

Additionally, Oracle's transition to cloud-based subscription services creates predictable recurring revenue streams that can be adjusted over time. The mission-critical nature of Oracle's database and enterprise software solutions gives the company significant pricing power, as businesses typically cannot easily switch systems due to high switching costs and operational dependencies.
