SAP SE has approved a dividend of €2.35 per share for the fiscal year 2024, marking a slight increase from €2.20 per share in the previous fiscal year. The total dividend payout for FY24 is €2,743 million, up from €2,565 million in FY23. The dividend will be payable on May 16, 2025 [1].

This dividend announcement comes on the heels of SAP's strong second-quarter 2025 earnings report, where the company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of €1.50, up from €1.10 in the year-ago quarter. Revenue rose to €9.03 billion, with cloud revenue increasing by 24% to €5.13 billion [2]. Despite the solid financial performance, SAP shares were down close to 2% in extended trading, but the stock has been up nearly 25% for 2025 through Tuesday’s close [3].

SAP's Q2 revenue of €9.03 billion was roughly in line with estimates, driven by a significant increase in its cloud segment, which grew by 24% [2]. The company's ongoing cloud transformation, led by its flagship RISE with SAP and Grow with SAP solutions, is expected to continue driving growth [1]. SAP has also highlighted its AI assistant Joule, which is becoming available "everywhere and for everything" [3].

However, SAP faces potential challenges, including revenue fluctuations due to long sales cycles, complex licensing, and changes in customer budgets. The U.S.-China trade war and tariffs also negatively impact software license sales. Additionally, SAP's reliance on cyberspace makes it vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches, which could harm its reputation and lead to costly legal issues [1].

Looking ahead, SAP plans to broaden its RISE with SAP offering by incorporating a full set of business transformation tools, including LeanIX, Signavio, and WalkMe. The company remains optimistic about the generative AI trend and expects it to positively impact revenues in the future. Management has highlighted that it will dedicate more than 30,000 developers to enhancing SAP’s AI capabilities and creating new applications to increase user productivity by 30% by year-end [1].
