-- 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%.
