The data on Oracle Corporation’s operating profit margin over the period from August 2020 to May 2025 reveals fluctuations with an overall declining trend followed by partial recovery. Initially, the operating profit margin was relatively high, starting at 37.16% in August 2020. It experienced a steady increase, reaching a peak of 38.76% in February 2021, then remaining stable around the 38.5% range through August 2021 and November 2021.
Subsequently, a gradual decline began, with margins decreasing to 37.07% by May 2022. This downward trend became more pronounced, reaching a low of approximately 28.94% in February 2023 and further declining to around 27.37% in May 2023. After this low point, a recovery trend commenced, with margins rising modestly to 28.11% in August 2023, and continuing to improve through the subsequent periods. By November 2023, the operating profit margin had increased modestly to 28.50%, and continued to grow, reaching approximately 28.77% in February 2024.
The recovery trend persisted, with margins improving further to approximately 29.63% in May 2024 and to 30.18% in August 2024. The upward trajectory continued into the following periods, culminating in a margin of 30.66% in November 2024 and reaching about 31.28% in February 2025.
In summary, Oracle’s operating profit margin exhibited an initial stable period with high margins, followed by a notable decline lasting until early 2023. Post-2023, the margins have stabilized and begun to recover, approaching levels close to the initial highs observed before the decline. This pattern indicates a period of profitability compression, likely influenced by external or internal factors, followed by a gradual improvement in operating efficiency or revenue profitability.
