Market Focus08-03 21:38

On August 3, SAP SE rose 4.59% in regular trading, trading at $191.84/share, with turnover of $70.06 million. The rally was driven by continued investor enthusiasm following the company's strong second-quarter cloud business performance.

SAP reported Q2 total revenue of €9.878 billion, up 9% year-over-year, primarily fueled by accelerating cloud business growth. Cloud revenue grew 22% YoY, while cloud backlog reached €22.929 billion, representing 27% growth. IFRS net income rose 26% to €2.209 billion, with basic EPS of €1.89, up 30% YoY. Over the past week, SAP shares have rallied more than 13%, marking the best single-week performance in months.

Additional positive catalysts include the EU Commission concluding its antitrust investigation into SAP, as well as management insider buying activity around the earnings release. On the analyst front, HSBC raised its target price for SAP, while Barclays maintained its Overweight rating with a $242 price target. Berenberg kept a Buy rating with a $230 target, and the FactSet consensus average target stands at $237.55.
