SAP SE (SAP) Crumbles: Stock Falls by 5.3% – Tale of the Tape

Zacks


SAP SE (SAP) saw a big move last session, as the company’s shares fell by over 5% on the day. The move came on pretty good volume too with far more shares changing hands than in a normal session. This continues the recent downtrend for SAP, as the stock is now down 11% in the past one-month time frame.

On Jan 20, SAP SE reported its fourth quarter and full year 2014 results where operating cash flow decreased 7% year over year to €3.57 billion.

This slump shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to investors, as the computer software company has seen 2 negative revisions in the past few weeks and its current year earnings consensus has moved lower over the last 30 days. This suggests there may be more trouble down the road. So make sure to keep an eye on this stock going forward to see if this recent slump will continue, as the earnings picture definitely suggests that this might be the case.

SAP currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).

A better-ranked stock in the computer software sector is Imperva Inc. (IMPV), which currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
