What Happened?
SAP (SAP) stock is up over 6% in pre-market trading after the company beat profit expectations and delivered strong cloud growth to start 2026.
- Adjusted EPS came in at $2.01, ahead of the $1.92 consensus.
- Revenue grew 6.1% year-over-year to $11.17 billion, in line with estimates.
The headline numbers were solid, but the cloud metrics were the real story.
- Cloud revenue grew 27% in constant currency to $6.96 billion.
- Current cloud backlog — a forward-looking indicator of future revenue — rose 25% to $25.58 billion.
- That’s the number investors watch most closely at SAP, and it came in strong.
CEO Christian Klein pointed to AI as a key growth driver.
- SAP is embedding AI across its ERP products, helping customers automate tasks like invoice processing, supply chain optimization, and contract analysis.
- One example from the quarter: Daimler Trucks used SAP’s AI tools to boost bid win rates from 10% to over 40%, generating a €70 million financial impact in 12 months.
SAP also maintained its full-year guidance.
- The company expects cloud revenue of $30.14–$30.61 billion and
- Combined cloud and software revenue of $42.2–$42.99 billion — representing 12–13% year-over-year growth.
There are some cautions worth noting. The ongoing Middle East conflict is creating disruption for customers in energy-intensive industries.
SAP said it saw some deal delays in March and April. Management acknowledged that if the conflict escalates further, it could weigh on customer spending and deal activity in the second half.
That’s part of why SAP stock didn’t pop more. The quarter was strong, but the macro backdrop adds uncertainty to the back half of the year.

What the Market Is Telling Us About SAP Stock
SAP stock is down almost 50% from its 52-week high, partly due to broader tech sector concerns about AI disrupting enterprise software vendors.
Investors worried that AI would allow companies to bypass legacy ERP systems like SAP’s.
But Thursday’s results push back on that fear. SAP is growing its cloud backlog at 25%, gaining market share faster than the industry, and embedding AI directly into its products. The company is growing with AI, not being disrupted by it.
SAP stock still trades at a premium valuation, but the underlying business momentum is hard to argue with.
If the situation in the Middle East stabilizes and the second half delivers, SAP stock has a clear path higher.
