| Oracle met estimates after the close on Thursday, and even delivered on all-important license revenue.
Twelve-cent earnings and $2.51 billion revenues met estimates, and license revenues of $847 million came in above estimates in what the company called a "solid" quarter. The company also reaffirmed forward guidance.
But after another rough day in the stock market, investors could be forgiven for wondering if Oracle's solid numbers will make a difference.
