SAN FRANCISCO — Oracle Corp.’s latest quarterly results Thursday underscore the critical role its software business plays, despite the company’s push to become a more well-rounded technology vendor by selling computer servers.
Oracle said its net income was $3.21 billion, or 62 cents per share, in its fiscal fourth quarter, compared to $2.36 billion, or 46 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding stock-based compensation and one-time expenses, Oracle earned 75 cents per share, higher than the 71 cents per share that analysts polled by FactSet expected.
