SAP SE Q1 2025: Solid Start, But Real Work Still Ahead
SAP delivered solid Q1 results with €9.01bn revenue (+12% YoY) and cloud revenue up 27%, now over 40% of total revenue. Operating profit jumped 60% YoY due to tight cost control; management remains confident, but guidance feels conservative.

SAP: Despite Strong Results, This Company Is Overvalued (Rating Upgrade)
SAP extended its rally after reporting Q1 results and maintaining its full-year outlook, a port in the storm amid a very turbulent macroeconomy.
