Oracle (ORCL) is set to report earnings after the bell. Dan Morgan breaks down the key metrics to watch, including cloud growth, which is expected to drive long-term growth for the company. Morgan believes Oracle's cloud business is finally gaining traction, with 23 new data centers in the pipeline, and its second-generation cloud is competitive with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft (MSFT) Azure, thanks to its 30% lower costs. Guidance will be crucial in justifying further share price appreciation, which has already surged over 40% YTD.
