<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for SAP has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing SAP's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, SAP's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.22%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) is having a banner year, with its stock surging over 235% in the past year and showing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/news">no signs of slowing</a>. 
Market strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald believes this is just the beginning, boldly claiming that Palantir could rival Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) — and hit $100 per share sooner than you think.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir Could Hit $100 By Mid-2025, Says Expert</h2>
Fitz-Gerald, <a href="https://x.com/fitz_keith/status/1861188617739145336">speaking</a> on Fox Business, shared an upgraded outlook for the data analytics powerhouse. Initially forecasting a $100 price target within 3-5 years, he now expects Palantir to hit that milestone by mid-next year. "This thing is a monster," he said. "Nobody else has got a product like it. It's meshing data software that makes software work. Every legacy provider right now is in trouble."
The analyst's comparisons to industry titans like Oracle and Cisco come as Palantir continues to disrupt with its innovative data solutions. 
Fitz-Gerald emphasized the company's unmatched product offering, suggesting it could outpace traditional providers struggling to adapt to modern data demands.

The bullish sentiment isn't just talk.

PLTR stock, at $66.05, is flying high above all its major moving averages:
<ul>
<li>Eight-day SMA: $63.56</li>
<li>20-day SMA: $58.00</li>
<li>50-day SMA: $47.68</li>
<li>200-day SMA: $31.14</li>
</ul>
These technical signals underscore a strong uptrend, with PLTR&#8217;s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) at 5.51, another indicator of a buying opportunity. 
However, investors should note the RSI of 73.03, suggesting the PLTR stock is in overbought territory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Palantir: A Long-Term Play</h2>
For long-term believers, Palantir's trajectory could mirror the meteoric rise of companies like Oracle and Cisco during their heydays. With its unique ability to integrate complex data solutions across industries, Palantir is positioned to dominate a market where legacy systems are struggling to keep pace.
If Fitz-Gerald's prediction holds, Palantir could hit triple digits by next year, but investors might want to buckle up for a wild ride as the stock navigates both technical and market dynamics.
Whether Palantir becomes the next Oracle or carves its own path, one thing is clear: this data giant isn't slowing down anytime soon.

Trading at $231.30, the stock sits above its 20-day ($228.59), 50-day ($214.45) and 200-day ($188.61) simple moving averages (SMAs)—driven by bullish momentum in the medium-to-long-term.

However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 65.75 suggests IBM is nearing overbought territory, hinting that investors might want to tread carefully. The stock&#8217;s Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) at 5.33 also signals positive momentum, reflecting slight buying pressure. 
Meanwhile, with the eight-day SMA at $232.78, there's a minor bearish signal in the short term, but overall, IBM looks ready to extend its climb.
The Granite 3.0 launch, coupled with a strong cloud business outlook, puts IBM in the spotlight ahead of earnings. Whether the stock can maintain its stellar run remains to be seen, but the technicals—and the AI—are certainly in its favor.

The Latest Analyst Ratings For SAP

Shares of SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) continued to rise in early trading on Tuesday after the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41439701/sap-stock-climbs-after-mixed-q3-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">its third-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
KeyBanc Capital Markets On SAP
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58777fa15064ed000173004c/jackson-ader">Analyst Jackson Ader</a> reaffirmed an Overweight rating, while raising the price target from $230 to $270.
SAP delivered another quarter of more than 30% Cloud ERP growth and accelerated organic growth in constant currency terms, Ader said in a note. Current cloud backlog (CCB) grew 29%, up from 28% in the second quarter, he added.
"FX headwinds actually caused the reported number to miss estimates, but we believe investors will look through that to see the positive momentum," the analyst wrote. Although the company's Ambition 2025 targets have moved higher in recent quarters, they "continue to be de-risked," he further stated.
JMP Securities On SAP
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846fffaee7bf6000154d141/patrick-walravens">Analyst Patrick Walravens</a> reiterated a Market Outperform rating, while lifting the price target from $245 to $300.
SAP's quarterly results were strong, with revenue and earnings slightly beating consensus estimates, Walravens said. Revenue growth of 10% year-on-year was flat versus the previous quarter, while cloud growth and current cloud backlog growth accelerated to 27% and 29%, from 25% and 28% in the second quarter, he added.
The company held its cloud revenue guidance for 2024 unchanged at €17.0 billion to €17.3 billion, while raising its cloud and software revenue outlook to €29.5 billion to €29.8 billion, from its previous forecast of €29.0 billion to 29.5 billion, the analyst stated. SAP reiterated its 2025 outlook of more than €37.5 billion in total revenues, over €21.5 billion in cloud revenues and €10.2 billion in operating profits, he said.

Oppenheimer On SAP
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/597b3ef9c1f5580001ef5278/brian-schwartz">Analyst Brian Schwartz</a> maintained a Perform rating on the stock.
SAP's top-line growth reaccelerated in the quarter, while cloud revenue and cash generation outperformed, and the commentary around big deals was strong, Schwartz said. The company has generated more than €1 billion in free cash flows in every quarter in 2024 and "remains on-track for its 2025 free cash flow guidance," he added.
The analyst stated, however, that SAP's current cloud backlogs look softer than in recent quarters, "which suggests deal volume may have underwhelmed, though the growth rate remains strong." "SAP's accelerating Cloud ERP revenue and 3Q results lend support to the benefits of an ERP modernization cycle, where SAP sits in a leading position, and a big cash-flow ramp in 2025," he further wrote.
Piper Sandler On SAP
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e4055351b9b00018beeab/brent-bracelin">Analyst Brent Bracelin</a> said that SAP delivered an acceleration in ERP Suite growth to 36% year-on-year from 32% six months ago. This was the fourth quarter of improving Cloud Backlog growth in constant currency, he added.
The enterprise spending tailwinds "could be more SAP company-specific vs. the broader SaaS industry poised to moderate for the third straight year," the analyst stated. OneStream Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OS#NASDAQ">OS</a>) and BlackLine Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BL#NASDAQ">BL</a>) could benefit due to exposure to the SAP ecosystem, he added.
SAP Price Action: Shares of SAP were up 1.4% to $232.75 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

JMP Securities Maintains Market Outperform on SAP, Raises Price Target to $300

SAP shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 adjusted EPS results and issued FY24 guidance.

SAP SE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAP#NYSE">SAP</a>) exceeded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41439701/sap-stock-climbs-after-mixed-q3-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">earnings expectations in its latest quarter</a>, with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives highlighting the European tech giant&#8217;s emerging role in the artificial intelligence revolution alongside industry leaders NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
What Happened: &#8220;SAP is going to be a foundational player,&#8221; Ives <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/10/21/ives-sap-will-be-a-foundational-player-in-the-ai-market.html">told</a> CNBC. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s going to be a huge step in the right direction on cloud checks, actually very strong for SAP.&#8221;
The German software giant&#8217;s transformation to cloud-based services continues to accelerate, with Ives noting that cloud operations now represent approximately 45% of the company&#8217;s business. This figure is projected to reach 70% by the end of next year, signaling a significant shift in SAP&#8217;s business model.
The German software giant&#8217;s transformation to cloud-based services continues to accelerate, with Ives noting that cloud operations now represent approximately 45% of the company&#8217;s business. This figure is projected to reach 70% by the end of next year, signaling a significant shift in SAP&#8217;s business model.
&#8220;This speaks to the second derivative of the AI revolution,&#8221; Ives said. &#8220;It&#8217;s not just about NVIDIA and Microsoft, SAP is now joining that AI party.&#8221;
The results come as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and logistics software providers increasingly integrate AI capabilities into their offerings. Ives positioned SAP alongside Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NYSE">ORCL</a>), Microsoft, and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) as major beneficiaries of this trend, suggesting these companies will see &#8220;incremental string from enterprises accelerating AI cloud appointment.&#8221;
The growing emphasis on AI integration in enterprise software marks a significant shift in the industry, with traditional ERP providers like SAP adapting their offerings to meet the increasing demand for AI-powered solutions.

Why It Matters: SAP reported adjusted earnings of $1.33 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $1.32. Quarterly revenue came in at $9.16 billion, slightly below the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41439701/sap-stock-climbs-after-mixed-q3-results-eps-beat-revenues-miss">consensus estimate of $9.17 billion</a>. 
On Monday, Ives also mentioned other companies like Palantir, IBM, AMD, and Apple making <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41420779/dan-ives-acknowledges-nvidia-microsoft-as-core-drivers-of-ai-but-sees-palantir-ibm-amd-and-apple">significant moves in artificial intelligence</a>.
Despite the positive earnings, SAP has been under scrutiny due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41029962/department-of-justice-investigates-sap-carahsoft-in-2b-price-fixing-probe">Department of Justice investigation</a> into allegations of overcharging U.S. government agencies. This investigation has been ongoing since at least 2022 and focuses on potential price-fixing schemes involving $2 billion worth of SAP technology sold to U.S. military and government agencies since 2014.
Price Action: SAP SE stock closed at $229.48 on Monday, down 0.42% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock saw a notable increase, rising 3.54%. Year to date, SAP has gained 52.77%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
