SAP - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

SAP
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in SAP SE:

SAP SE reported a quarterly revenue of $8.47 billion, which reflects a year-over-year increase of 9.4%. This growth indicates a strong demand for their applications and services, suggesting potential for continued revenue expansion.
The company has a return on equity of 11.44%, which is a measure of financial performance that indicates how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits. A higher return on equity is generally favorable for investors.
Recent analyst upgrades have raised price targets significantly, with JMP Securities setting a target of $300.00. This suggests that analysts are optimistic about the company's future performance, which could lead to stock price appreciation.
With a current stock price around $252.33, investors may find it attractive as it is positioned within the range set by analysts, indicating potential for growth based on market expectations.
Analysts have issued nine buy ratings for SAP SE, reflecting strong confidence in the company's future performance and making it a potentially attractive investment opportunity.

SAP
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in SAP SE for these reasons:

SAP SE's earnings per share (EPS) of $1.23 for the latest quarter fell short of the consensus estimate of $1.31, indicating that the company may be facing challenges in meeting market expectations.
The firm’s revenue of $8.47 billion was below analysts' expectations of $9.25 billion, which could raise concerns about the company's ability to achieve its growth targets in a competitive market.
Despite a positive year-over-year revenue growth, the net margin of 8.15% suggests that there may be pressures on profitability, which could impact future earnings and investor returns.
One analyst has rated the stock with a hold rating, indicating some caution among market experts regarding the stock's potential for significant short-term gains.
Market conditions and competition in the software industry can be volatile, which may pose risks to SAP SE's performance and stock price stability.
