Oracle Corp.’s stock is on pace for its best performance in three-and-a-half years — and analysts like what lies ahead. While Oracle beat expectations with its latest earnings results, analysts seem especially impressed by the company’s guidance and its commentary on the new fiscal year.

Oracle investors haven’t had a week this good since April 2001, after the stock had collapsed in the dot-com crash.

Shares of Oracle set an all-time high for a second straight session Friday after the enterprise software giant reported fourth-quarter results that topped estimates and spoke of "dramatically higher" revenue growth for the current fiscal year.
