The thesis — published August 25, 2025
SAP is a long-time leader in business software, and major trends are moving its way: more firms are shifting to cloud tools, using AI near devices, and trying to earn more from their data. The stock looks pushed down versus the story, so consider it on down days, but only after strength appears. Investor excitement is ahead of the current results, so it stays on the Watch list until momentum clearly improves.
