Oracle shares are trading 25% below the maximum marks of 2021. The papers of the old-timers of the technological sphere are especially interesting in the current conditions, when younger representatives of the industry are seriously losing due to a change in investor sentiment. Oracle's capitalization suffered for two reasons at once: the general correction of technology players and the announcement of the purchase of Cerner for a huge $28.3 billion.
Cerner is not only an established company, but also a prominent representative of the promising medical market. According to the head of Oracle, this transaction will allow to start expansion in a new direction and will have a positive long-term impact on revenue. In other words, buying Cerner will not only immediately increase revenue, but also give fresh strength to accelerate growth.
Like many other corporations, Oracle is moving its headquarters from San Francisco to Texas and implementing a flexible, remote work format, which will significantly reduce costs.
Another pleasant moment for investors is that Oracle is actively spending on buying shares from the market. To date, only 46% of all papers are in the public domain. While startups issue new shares to finance M&A deals, Oracle, in fact, makes payments to its shareholders. Recently, management decided to allocate an additional $10 billion to buy back shares. This is about 5% of the capitalization size. The forward P/E coefficient is 15. The operating margin is 47%, and EPS is $1.21 (+14% YoY).

Nutanix shares, a virtual server platform, are trading 40% below the maximum levels of 2021. Despite the growth of quotations in 2020 and 2021, the securities still look attractive from the point of view of long-term purchase.

From current levels, securities may well rise to $40 in the coming months.The advantage of Nutanix is that the service allows you to configure a hybrid infrastructure. Not all companies can afford to switch completely to “cloud” storage, both due to regulations and security reasons, as a result of which intermediate options are in demand in the market, and Nutanix is ready to guarantee that customers will receive quality comparable to advanced “cloud" models.

What we are currently seeing on risky assets looks rather unnatural. US technology stocks and cryptocurrencies are growing amid a whole heap of problems related to geopolitical tensions, rising inflation, the expected tightening of the Fed's monetary policy, a possible recession of the American and global economy, and so on. Yes, investors could well get tired of the constant negativity, but this is not a strong enough reason for such a powerful rebound. That is why it is hard to believe in the long-term nature of the current growth.At the moment, BTC is near the upper limit of the correction channel, which was formed as part of the global downtrend that started in November 2021. Further price behavior may shed light on the medium-term outlook of the market. With the greatest probability, we should expect a breakdown of the upper limit, the removal of sellers' stop orders, the collection of liquidity and a trip to the south with renewed vigor.Indirectly, this possibility is evidenced by the situation with other cryptocurrencies. For example, the native Solana token is currently executing a “bearish” Wolf wave pattern, according to which quotes should go to a fall and fall in price by 30-40% from current levels. Something similar is observed for the rest of the top coins. At the same time, there is simply no positive news that can support the current growth and is not expected in the near future.

Shares of eBay, an online marketplace, are trading 27% below the maximum marks of 2021. In the current conditions, investors want to deal with the most reliable companies that pay dividends and conduct programs to buy their own shares from the market. eBay not only fits these criteria, but also plans to significantly increase the amount of revenue, as a result of which it has a good chance of a tangible rebound from recent lows.Management adheres to the right strategy: instead of competing with Amazon on all fronts, eBay focuses on the most important, unique areas: collectibles, auto parts, electronics and others.At the moment, the platform earns only $1.1 billion through advertising (sponsored placements and promoted lots) - this is about 11% of total revenue. By 2023, it is planned to increase this figure to $2 billion. Another growth driver is the payment system. The platform launches its digital wallet in order to reduce dependence on the current payment service - PayPal.A few more important points: the amount of quarterly dividends was increased by 20% to $0.22 per share, and a $4 billion share repurchase program was introduced (about 12% of capitalization).However, not everything is as smooth as we would like.

Shares of electric car manufacturer Tesla have gained about 40% since mid-March and are now trading not so far from the maximum marks. There is a feeling that the rising cost of oil and raw materials is a positive driver for the company: most models were completely sold out in the United States by the end of 2022. In addition, Tesla had to start fighting with wholesale buyers in China, who bought cars in large batches and sold them at a markup. Now Chinese buyers are forced to sign an agreement that they will not resell the cars for 12 months after purchase.The February lows became a bear trap for the bulls, who believed that Tesla was waiting for the fate of other technology companies, whose shares sank by 50-70% from the highs. It should be understood that Tesla does not stand still and now it is a profitable company with decent FCF values. Moreover, the manufacturer does not indifferently observe the rise in the cost of raw materials for batteries, such as nickel and lithium, but increases the cost of products in order to maintain margin values.Compared to other major industry players like Volkswagen, General Motors and Ford, which have been suffering from supply chain disruptions for a long time, and now rising raw material prices have been added to the problems, Tesla looks pretty good. Moreover, the company has launched new plants in Texas and Berlin. In other words, there are all the prerequisites for further growth of stocks to the level of record highs and above. 
The securities of Pegasystems, a leading developer of enterprise software, fell 45% below last year's peaks. We can say that at the moment the company's shares should be considered as a long-term investment and there are reasons for this. Today, the company's value is 6.5 billion US dollars. In the current year, management expects a profit of $ 1.5 billion, therefore, EV/S is equal to 4.5. It is worth noting that these are quite small figures for a growing organization. Management predicts that by 2025 the total targeted market will be equal to $110 billion, which indicates good prospects for revenue growth. At the moment, PEGA is transitioning to a subscription model, which will also have a positive impact on the company's revenue. The results of the last reporting quarter of 2021 show a profit growth of only 6%, to $316.2 million. This situation has developed due to the fact that in the process of switching to a subscription, key customers began to pay in portions. Despite a loss of $26 million in 2020, in the last three months in 2021, the firm received revenue of $18.8 million. At the end of this year, revenue is projected to grow to $65-86 million.
