Getty Images Oracle headquarters in Redwood City, Calif.Oracle Corp. shares dropped in the extended session Thursday as the enterprise software company missed Wall Street growth targets in its cloud-computing business that many analysts had warned were too optimistic, and fell further following a disappointing forecast. Oracle ORCL, +0.28% shares, which were down about 4% at the beginning of the earnings call, were down 6.6% to $46.88 after hours on heavy volume following the company’s third-quarter outlook. The price of shares dropped below levels seen back in September, when the stock saw its worst one-day selloff in more than four years after a disappointing second-quarter outlook. Oracle’s second-quarter growth in the cloud did not hit Wall Street targets, and neither did its forecast for the third quarter. For the second quarter, total cloud revenue rose 44% to $1.52 billion while software-as-a-service revenue grew 55% to $1.12 billion. Analysts had forecast total cloud revenue of $1.56 billion, and SaaS revenue of $1.14 billion. On the analyst call, Oracle Chief Executive Safra Catz forecast adjusted third-quarter earnings of 68 cents to 70 cents a share, which could possibly get a 3-cents-a-share currency tailwind. Analysts are looking for 72 cents a share.via
