WealthBridge Investment Counsel Inc. reduced its Oracle Corporation (ORCL) stake by 22,055 shares, valued at $5.62 million using the quarter’s average share price, per an October 6, 2025 SEC filing. Post-trade, the fund retained 56,200 shares, worth $15.81 million as of September 30, 2025.
Transaction Context
The sale diluted Oracle’s weight in the fund’s 13F reportable assets to 4.9%. This follows Oracle’s 71.5% share price surge since October 2024, propelling its market cap to $838 billion-nearly within striking distance of the $1 trillion milestone.

Corporate Overview
Oracle provides cloud applications, infrastructure, databases, and hardware. Its core offerings-Fusion Cloud, NetSuite, and Oracle Database-serve enterprises, governments, and institutions requiring complex IT solutions. Revenue streams include subscriptions, licenses, support, and hardware sales. The company’s global data center expansion positions it as a critical node in the AI ecosystem.
Critical Assessment
Market reactions to institutional sales often resemble hares startled by a gunshot-quick, erratic, and rarely grounded in reason. WealthBridge’s 25% reduction in Oracle shares may appear ominous, but context is the enemy of hasty conclusions. Oracle’s 75% total return in 2025 suggests this is a profit-taking maneuver, not a vote of no-confidence.
The company’s AI infrastructure investments-dozens of data centers in development-are not speculative gambles but calculated moves to secure a dominant position in the next phase of computing. For investors, the question is not whether Oracle has grown too fast, but whether it can sustain its momentum as the AI market matures.
To dismiss this sale as bearish ignores both the mathematics of compounding gains and the realities of portfolio management. Institutional investors do not typically divest from $286 stocks out of fear. They trim to rebalance, to lock in gains, or to reallocate capital-not to signal collapse.
