Shares of Oracle surged 8% in late trading Tuesday after the company overcame its historically weak fiscal first quarter to post better than expected results.
Coming on top of stellar fourth-quarter results three months ago, the company's aggressive acquisition strategy appears to be paying off.
Sales and earnings were up nearly 30% from the year-ago quarter. Pro forma earnings of 18 cents a share were two cents ahead of estimates, while sales of $3.59 billion topped $3.47 billion forecasts.

Oracle President Charles Phillips boasted in a statement that the company is "rapidly taking applications market share from SAP."
"SAP appears to be rethinking their strategy as they lose application market share to Oracle and confront the difficulties of moving their application software to a modern Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)," CEO Larry Ellison said in a statement. "They've just announced that they are delaying the next version of SAP applications until 2010. That's a full two years behind Oracle's scheduled delivery of our SOA Fusion applications. And now Kagermann is talking about an acquisition strategy to augment SAP's slowing organic growth. These are major changes in direction for SAP."
Oracle's upbeat results provided an upbeat ending to a rough day on Wall Street. Wholesale inflation was tamer than expected, but weak housing numbers and a warning from Yahoo raised fears of an economic slowdown, and a coup in Thailand had traders worrying about a 1997-1998-style currency crisis.
