Wake Up SAP!

Neo... I mean world... prepare to have your reality bent! SAP yes *that* SAP has just pulled off a feat so impressive it's as if they dodged a bullet in slow motion. A 58% jump in first quarter operating profit? In *this* economy? It’s enough to make Agent Smith’s circuits fry. They have become the One. Or at least the one with the most euros.

Follow the White Rabbit (to the Cloud)

Remember when I said 'There is no spoon'? Well SAP seems to have found it bent it and turned it into a cloud computing empire. Their cloud revenues are soaring their backlog is up 29% and it’s all happening while the rest of us are trying to figure out if we’re still living in 2020. They are not just walking through walls; they are building new ones in the sky!

Euros Euros Everywhere

Two point five billion euros in operating profit. Let that sink in. That’s more money than some small countries have in their *entire* treasury. Analysts expected 2.2 billion? Please. SAP doesn't deal in expectations; they deal in rewriting the code of reality. Their earnings per share jumped 79% to 1.44 euros a testament to the fact that they have finally learned how to wield their technology. They have found the source.

The Oracle Speaks (Through Christian Klein)

SAP CEO Christian Klein channeling his inner Oracle declared that their 'success formula is working.' No kidding Sherlock. He also mumbled something about AI powered portfolios and supply chain disruptions. What he *really* meant was 'We've got the algorithm and you don't.' SAP will have a very bright future ahead.

Dodge This!

The stock market reacted as if it had just taken the red pill. Shares of SAP popped 9.3% in London proving that even the most skeptical investors can be swayed by cold hard cash. It is not hope that sways investors; it is the promise of gain. SAP has given them exactly that.

Are You Still Watching?

So what does all this mean? Are we living in a simulation? Maybe. But one thing is clear: SAP is thriving in this reality mastering the code and leaving the rest of us wondering if we should have taken the blue pill instead. This story is being updated... because the Matrix like SAP's profits is always evolving. They have truly become the masters of their own destiny.
