SAP Warns, Sending Shockwaves Through Enterprise Software
SeekingAlpha reports about the results that SAP AG reported today – SAP Warns, Sending Shockwaves Through Enterprise Software.
Eric Savitz of Barron’s reports,
Bad news for the enterprise software sector this afternoon, as SAP (SAP) just warned that fourth quarter software revenue growth came in short of previous guidance. This is a bit confusing, so bear with me. SAP reports product revenues, software revenues, and total revenues, and it reports on both an actual and constant-currency basis. But the bottom line is that software sales came up short for both the quarter and the full year.
The SAP stock (SAP) is off more than 10% as I write and Oracle (ORCL) is also taking a late afternoon dive.
