NEW YORK, Oct. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed Oracle Corporation (“Oracle” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ORCL), on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired Oracle securities between May 10, 2017 through March 19, 2018, (the “Class Period”).  Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm’s site: www.bgandg.com/orcl.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements regarding Oracle’s cloud revenues and failed to disclose that these revenues were driven, at least in part, by improper, coercive sales practices, which included: (1) threatening existing customers with “audits” of their use of Oracle’s non-cloud software licenses and levying expensive penalties against those customers, unless the customers agreed to shift their business to Oracle cloud programs; (2) decreasing customer support for certain Oracle on-premises or hardware systems, in an effort to drive customers away from such systems and into cloud-based systems; and (3) strong-arming customers by threatening to raise the cost of legacy database licenses dramatically if the customers choose another cloud provider.

On March 19, 2018, Oracle disclosed that its cloud business’s revenue growth had stagnated and forecasted significantly slower sales growth for its cloud business than its competitors.  Following this disclosure, analysts connected Oracle’s poor financial performance to improper sales practice, observing that the Company had relied on coercive practices to conceal the lack of real demand for its cloud products.  On this news, Oracle’s stock price fell $4.90 per share, or 9.43%, to close at $47.05 on March 20, 2018.
