UPDATE - Canaccord Genuity downgraded Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL) from Buy to Hold, price target lowered from $38 to $28.

Canaccord analyst, Richard Davis, said, "Oracle posted a substantial shortfall for a company that is typically quite predictable. We expect the shares to trade sideways for the next two to three quarters."

"ORCL should not be rated a Buy because even after a probable dead cat bounce Oracle will have to rebuild confidence that the firm is not is not headed to Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) valuation level (7x) over the next few years. Therefore, we can no longer rate ORCL a Buy."
