Oakmark Global Select Fund stated the following regarding SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) in its Q2 2026 investor update:
“SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) is one of the largest enterprise software providers in the world and a global leader in enterprise resource planning. The Germany-based company provides solutions that form the backbone of its clients’ technology infrastructure, leading to recurring revenue streams and very low churn rates. Recently, SAP has accelerated the rate of client migrations from on-premise to cloud systems, a trend we expect to improve growth and reduce costs. However, those benefits have not resonated in a market concerned that artificial intelligence will obscure the need for enterprise software. We believe that narrative underestimates the scale, data ownership, and definition of client workflows that make SAP an irreplaceable piece of its clients’ tech ecosystems. Moreover, we have confidence that this management team—led by a tested CEO and prudent, disciplined CFO—can steer SAP through the artificial intelligence era. We have invested successfully in SAP before and were excited to buy back in at what we view as a considerable discount to our estimate of intrinsic value.”
