What's Going On with Oracle on Tuesday?

Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL) shares are trading slightly lower on Tuesday in sympathy with IBM Corp (NYSE:IBM), which posted disappointing preliminary second-quarter earnings.

IBM reported preliminary second-quarter revenue of $17.2 billion, up 1% year-over-year, but below the $17.86 billion consensus estimate, with CEO Arvind Krishna calling the results "disappointing" in a letter to investors. Adjusted EPS came in at $2.93, versus the $3.02 estimate, while GAAP EPS was down 2% year-over-year.
