Most Popular Narrative: 7.4% Undervalued

According to Tokyo, a leading contributor, the most-followed narrative places SAP’s fair value at €248.62, which is above the latest closing price of €230.15. This price gap suggests there is still upside in the stock, at least from a long-term perspective shaped by fundamental drivers.

Over the next 5 years I calculate with (actual values from 04.05.25, price/shr at 266 EUR): Revenue Growth p.a.: 9% (Currently at 10.7%) because the last 10 years average was 6%. I estimate an extra 3% since the transition to SaaS is mainly done and gives potential for continuous price increases, which could be justified by further AI features. Profit Margin: 18% (currently at 12.3%) because the transition to cloud was very cost intensive, which kept margin during the last 3 years below 10%. Before that, SAP ranged between 15-20% profit margin. Even 20% could be reached in the long run.
