Sap: Stifel still buying with TP price of E245
(CercleFinance.com) - Stifel has maintained its Buy rating on SAP shares, with a price target of E245.
The analyst believes that SAP has published another set of solid and reassuring Q3 results, despite the difficult economic climate.
Cloud sales growth in Q3 accelerated to 27% y-o-y, helped by 36% growth in the ERP Cloud suite, while the Cloud gross margin continued to improve to 73.7%, the broker notes.
Stifel is therefore raising its FY24 guidance, expecting Cloud+Software segment growth of 10%-11% (vs. 8¨%-10%), operating profit of E7.8bn-E8bn (vs. E7.6bn-E7.9bn), and FCF of E3.5bn-E4bn (vs. approx. E3.5bn).
Cloud growth guidance for FY24 remains unchanged at 24%-27%, the analyst adds.¨
