Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of Sap Se

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lower our target price to USD191 from USD 222, based on a forward P/E of 22x our 2026 EPS view of EUR7.32, below its three-year average. We raise our 2026 EPS projection to EUR7.32 from EUR7.16 and our 2027 EPS view to EUR8.58 from EUR8.55. SAP reported strong Q1 2026 results, with total revenue of EUR9.6B (+12% Y/Y) due to cloud revenue accelerating to 27% constant currency growth (vs 26% in Q4), reaching nearly EUR6B. Cloud ERP Suite revenue accelerated 30% and accounted for 87% of total cloud revenue growth. Cloud outperformance and the current cloud backlog (+25% constant currency) reflect solid demand momentum, although expectations of Q2 deceleration and macroeconomic uncertainty warrant monitoring. Large share repurchases in Q1 (EUR 2.6B) and margin expansions were also positives for the quarter. Non-IFRS operating profit increased 24% to EUR2.9B, representing a 30% operating margin and expanding 290 bps Y/Y, while cloud gross margin reached 75.2%.

Research Alert: Sap: Q1 Performance Boosted By Cloud Strength Though Outlook More Uncertain

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:SAP reported Q1 non-IFRS EPS of EUR1.72, up 20% and beating consensus by EUR0.06, while revenue of EUR9.56B grew 6% (12% constant currency), exceeding expectations by EUR10M. Cloud revenue of EUR5.96B accelerated to 27% constant currency growth, with Cloud ERP Suite delivering EUR5.21B (+30% constant currency). However, management expects Q2 deceleration due to quarter-specific effects. SAP's cloud momentum signals strong demand with current cloud backlog of EUR21.9B (+25% constant currency). Operating margin expanded to 30.0% from 27.2% in Q1 2025, supported by disciplined cost management. FCF of EUR3.25B was impacted by a EUR408M Teradata settlement but underlying cash generation remains robust. We view the EUR10B share buyback program positively, with EUR2.6B completed in the first tranche. Management reaffirmed 2026 cloud revenue targets of EUR25.8B-EUR26.2B and operating profit of EUR11.9B-EUR12.3B, but adopted a more conservative total revenue growth outlook citing macroeconomic uncertainty.

US Equity Investors to Focus on Geopolitical Risk While Earnings Season Gathers Momentum

US equity investors will focus on mounting geopolitical risk in the Middle East while keeping an eye on Q1 earnings and retail sales.* Iran vowed retaliation after the US Navy seized an Iranian cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman, endangering the planned second round of negotiations in Pakistan this week to find a lasting solution for peace for Tehran, according to multiple media reports.* US Vice President JD Vance and top US officials were expected to travel to Islamabad, but Iran's foreign ministry insisted there were no plans for talks, CNN reported. The ceasefire, which the US and Iran have accused each other of violating, expires on Wednesday.* After scaling fresh records on Friday amid optimism that an Iran peace deal could materialize without extending the two-week ceasefire, the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slumped early on Monday amid concerns of an escalation of the war in the Middle East.* West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures soared 7.2% to $89.92, and Brent crude futures jumped 6.3% to $96.10 pre-bell. Reflecting the potential impact of elevated crude oil prices on inflation, gold futures dropped 1.5% to $4,808.8, and silver futures slumped 3% to $79.37 early Monday. Similarly, most US Treasury yields rose, with the 10-year up 2.2 basis points to 4.27% and the two-year jumped 3.5 basis points to 3.74%.* The highlight of quarterly earnings this week will be Tesla (TSLA) as well as some technology names such as Intel (INTC), IBM (IBM), Lam Research (LRCX), Texas Instruments (TXN), and SAP (SAP). Other mega-caps expected to report this week include American Express (AXP), GE Vernova (GEV), Boeing (BA), and United Health (UNH).* In US macroeconomic data, investors will focus on retail sales, S&P Global manufacturing and services PMIs, ADP employment change, initial jobless claims, and the final read on Michigan consumer sentiment alongside Michigan inflation expectations for one and five years ahead.
