American computer technology giant Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is a well-known Wall Street name with an established dividend payment history. 

In line with this, the company is set to pay its quarterly dividend to investors later this month.

Ahead of the dividend payment, Oracle stock remains among the best-performing. For instance, over the past three months, ORCL has rallied about 60%, outperforming the general market.

As of press time, Oracle was trading at $237, up over 4%, while year-to-date ORCL has gained 42%.

For income investors, the company will pay its next quarterly dividend on July 24, 2025, maintaining its payout at $0.50 per share. That means an investor holding 100 shares of Oracle will receive $50 in dividend income for this period.

Data indicates that Oracle’s dividend yield is 0.84%, with a forward payout ratio of 24.37%, indicating that it returns approximately a quarter of its earnings to shareholders. 

It pays quarterly, with the last $0.50 payment on April 23, 2025, and no change in the latest declared amount. The ex-dividend date is July 10, 2025; investors must own shares as of this date to qualify.

Oracle stock fundamentals 

Meanwhile, Oracle stock is likely to continue climbing, given the company’s strong fundamentals. For instance, Oracle is off to a strong start in its fiscal 2026, with CEO Safra Catz recently revealing that the firm’s MultiCloud database revenue is growing at over 100%. The company has also secured a new deal expected to generate more than $30 billion starting in fiscal 2028.

In the same vein, for fiscal 2025, which ended May 31, Oracle reported $44 billion in cloud services and license support revenue, representing a 12% year-over-year increase. Demand for its cloud infrastructure, heavily utilized for AI workloads, was a key driver, with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) revenue increasing 51% to $10.2 billion, outpacing total revenue growth of 9% to $57.4 billion.

Wall Street is also taking note, with analysts responding positively. For instance, Stifel upgraded Oracle from ‘Hold’ to ‘Buy’ and raised its price target from $180 to $250, citing increased capital expenditures and strong performance obligations as evidence of solid execution in the cloud. Barclays also maintained its “overweight” rating with a $221 price target, viewing the SEC filing’s growth details as easing investor concerns about meeting management’s targets.
