Summary

SAP's second quarter of 2026, reported July 23, is a transition ledger read in one table: current cloud backlog of €22.9 billion grew 27% and Cloud ERP Suite revenue grew 25%, while the streams the cloud replaces shrank on schedule — software licenses down 32%, support down 8%, IaaS down 23%. Total revenue grew 9% against non-IFRS operating profit up 7%, and the 2026 profit outlook was updated for the dilutive impact of the Dremio and Prior Labs acquisitions rather than for operations. The strategy framing is the CEO's 'Autonomous Enterprise' — AI grounded in the customer's own processes and data. This summary reads the company's quarterly statement; no call transcript was verified for this quarter.
