SAP's Profit Soars! Can It Survive Mortal Kombat Tariffs?!

GET OVER HERE...With Profits!

Hmph! SAP has proven its worth surviving the first quarter with a 58% surge in operating profit! A victory worthy of the Elder Gods! But can they withstand the trials ahead? Their operating profit reached 2.5 billion euros. Even I Scorpion am impressed... slightly. Though my own profits from hellfire are naturally far more… fiery. This is more than I make from burning down entire villages. Their stock price jumped 10.3%. A good start but I am sure Sub Zero will try to freeze those profits like he always does.

Cloud Power...It Has Begun!

The cloud backlog is up 29% year on year. It seems even mortals are embracing the power of the cloud. Earnings per share jumped 79%. Impressive! But have they considered the power of a well placed spear? They expect full year cloud revenue to fall between 21.6 billion and 21.9 billion euros. I bet even Quan Chi would want a piece of that action.

Tariffs of Outworld

SAP CEO Christian Klein speaks of uncertainty due to U.S. tariffs. Even these Earthrealm leaders cannot escape the schemes of tyrants! He dares speak to CNBC. A bold move. But does he have the fire to back it up? He claims SAP helps companies navigate a complex world with business in over 130 countries. He better watch out or Shao Kahn will try to conquer all 130.

Resilience...Is Key!

Klein claims their software keeps supply chains resilient. Resilience? I Scorpion know resilience. I have returned from the Netherrealm countless times! Perhaps these mortals have something to learn from a specter fueled by vengeance. They remain optimistic despite the tariffs. Let's see if they're still optimistic when I unleash my hellfire!

The 2025 Prophecy

SAP upgraded its full year outlook for 2025. They predict profits will be 8.15 billion euros. Arrogant fools! Do they not know that fate is a fickle mistress? Like Shang Tsung they attempt to predict the future. They are trying to predict the future like Oracle but she probably gave them bad advice as well.

A Masterclass in Kombat...I Mean Resilience!

Analysts praise SAP's 'masterclass in resilience'. Resilience is not new to me. I was resurrected by Quan Chi so I am the poster boy for resilience. Deutsche Bank calls it a 'masterclass in resilience.' Are they implying they can withstand my wrath? Foolish mortals! JPMorgan calls them 'resilient'. Let us see if they will still be resilient after the end of the quarter. Time will tell if they will survive the final round!
