She previously covered the company as an industry analyst. “He actually did it this quarter, but I’m not sure that what the product line is and why he’s being picked actually go with the future.” Oracle isn’t alone in its hot streak.

That could mean a windfall for CEO Huang’s stock fortune, lifting his stake by $27.2 billion to $128.7 billion.
