  • Goldman Sachs trimmed its second-half 2026 gross margin estimate for SAP to 72.8% from 73.3% due to anticipated higher hardware expenses.
  • The bank maintained its 'Buy' rating on the stock, asserting that the company's AI-driven product cycle remains intact.
  • The negative sentiment on SAP also comes amid a broader market downturn, with U.S. futures trading lower as investors await key U.S. CPI inflation data.
