Starting at $163B in 2000, Oracle’s market cap was halved by the dot‑com crash, bottoming near $57B in 2002. The company rebuilt through the mid‑2000s, only to face another dip during the 2008 financial crisis. Its 2015–2018 cloud pivot laid the groundwork for renewed growth, but the real inflection came post‑2020 — fueled by cloud infrastructure dominance, database leadership, and the AI wave — propelling Oracle to $865B by 2025.
