The value of SAP shares has reached an unprecedented peak following the release of adjusted profit figures that surpassed market expectations.


SAP's stock surged by up to 7% to hit a record high on Tuesday following the announcement of stronger-than-anticipated quarterly operating income, driven by increased revenue and more aggressive cost reduction measures..

The German corporation, renowned for its software solutions spanning accounting to supply chain management, announced on Monday that its second-quarter operating profit, excluding exceptional items, experienced a significant increase of 33%, reaching 1.94 billion euros (approximately $2.1 billion). This outperformed the median analyst estimate of 1.81 billion euros, as reported on SAP’s official website.

SAP experienced a notable 6% increase in its share value as of 0725 GMT. This positive performance has been attributed to the company’s robust operational performance during the recent quarter, as highlighted by analysts from Stifel.

The software company has intensified its restructuring initiatives, projecting an impact on approximately 9,000 to 10,000 positions, an increase from the previously announced 8,000 in January. The majority of affected employees will undergo reskilling programs focused on artificial intelligence (AI) competencies, while others will be offered voluntary separation packages.

"We continue to invest into our transformation to be the leader in Business AI. Given our progress and strong pipeline, we are confident to achieve accelerating topline growth through 2027," CEO Christian Klein said in statement.

The organization experienceed a 10% increase in its quarterly revenue, reaching 8.29 billion euros. This surpassed the analysts’ consensus of 8.25 billion euros, primarily driven by the demand for the company’s business planning software.

Furthermore, cloud revenue aligned with the analyst consensus, amounting to 4.15 billion euros.

The company has revised its 2025 adjusted operating profit projection, increasing it from 10 billion euros to 10.2 billion euros. This adjustment is based on anticipated efficiency improvements resulting from the ongoing transformation program.
