Company Report

SAP Earnings: 2024 Guidance Reaffirmed As Cloud Strength Continues

We maintain our fair value estimate for narrow-moat SAP at EUR 132 per share after the firm reported a robust first quarter that topped our revenue and margin expectations. Management reaffirmed 2024 guidance and reiterated its 2025 ambition, which we believe are supported by continued strategic pivots toward the cloud and business artificial intelligence, or AI, segments. Overall, we see results as solid and a continuation of recent trends. Although we continue to expect some churn due to forced cloud migration, we maintain our belief in SAP’s strong suite of offerings and the inherent switching costs associated with core software systems. Shares already incorporate the full benefits of the cloud transition and are overvalued, in our opinion.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

SAP should be able to migrate the majority of its on-premises ERP customers to S/4HANA while continuing to add hefty net new customers to the platform.

Bears

SAP’s S/4HANA mandated transition could cause even greater customer churn as customers are forced to reassess their ERP and database providers.
