Analysts were expecting earnings of 97 cents per share on revenue of $9.77 billion.

Taken together, IaaS and SaaS are Oracle’s fastest growing and highest margin new businesses. As these two cloud businesses continue to grow they will help expand our overall profit margins and push earnings per share higher.”
