JPMorgan upgrades SAP to Overweight and lifts price target to €275 on AI production shift

JPMorgan raised its rating on SAP from Neutral to Overweight and increased its price target to €275, up from €175. The bank said the move of enterprise AI from pilot projects to full‑scale production favors SAP’s integrated systems, data‑quality tools and cost‑control capabilities. Following the note, SAP shares rose about 2% in early trading. JPMorgan also nudged its 2027 non‑IFRS EPS estimate to €8.38 from €8.20 and highlighted a 28% jump in the current cloud backlog.

The higher rating and target suggest JPMorgan expects stronger margins and growth from SAP’s AI‑driven cloud offerings, which could support a near‑term price rally. The revised EPS forecast and backlog growth signal higher earnings potential through 2028.
