SAP SE Q1 2025: Solid Start, But Real Work Still Ahead

  • SAP delivered solid Q1 results with €9.01bn revenue (+12% YoY) and cloud revenue up 27%, now over 40% of total revenue. Operating profit jumped 60% YoY due to tight cost control; management remains confident, but guidance feels conservative. Key growth drivers: S/4HANA Cloud, Business Technology Platform, and AI integration (Joule), despite competition and slow European cloud adoption.
