SAP cloud backlog jump fuels share rally ~~(July~~ (August 2026)

SAP’s Q2 2026 results confirmed a ~~27 %~~ 27% increase in its cloud order backlog to ~~€22.9 bn,~~ €22.9bn, driving cloud revenue up ~~22 %~~ 22% to ~~€6.28 bn~~ €6.28bn and lifting earnings per share from €1.46 to €1.89. Total revenue grew ~~9 %~~ 9% YoY to ~~€9.88 bn,~~ €9.88bn, while the ~~non‑IFRS operating‑profit~~ non-IFRS operating-profit outlook was trimmed modestly to ~~€11.8‑12.2 bn,~~ €11.8-12.2bn, reflecting integration costs from recent acquisitions. Following the earnings release, SAP’s share price rallied ~~25.75 %~~ 25.75% over seven trading days, closing at €162.22. The surge was fueled by the completion of ~~AI‑focused~~ AI-focused acquisitions of Dremio and Prior Labs on 17 July, underscoring investor confidence in SAP’s AI and cloud strategy. Analyst houses lowered price targets after the ~~profit‑forecast~~ profit-forecast adjustment, yet commentary continued to highlight the strong backlog as evidence of ~~short‑term~~ short-term demand resilience. The market’s reaction has lifted the German DAX, though the index remains below the ~~25,000‑point~~ 25,000-point threshold. ~~Investors remain focused on cloud‑related metrics as the primary driver of SAP’s near‑term valuation, while~~ In August 2026, SAP addressed 28 security vulnerabilities, including a critical flaw in the ~~company balances higher R&D, marketing spend~~ Commerce Cloud ‘Data Hub Adapter’ module. Despite this, analysts remain largely optimistic due to strong cloud performance. SAP continues to manage its strategic transformation through a share buyback program and ~~the integration of AI capabilities into~~ ongoing investment in its ~~cloud offering. No further SAP‑specific developments have been reported since the July 28 update.~~ AI-driven ‘Autonomous Enterprise’ vision.
