Revenue is not what the investment community is looking for - They want to see Profit,
which SAP did not fare well and fell below YOY performance on Profit
Operating Profit has been a perpetual problem for the company to properly address and still it has not been figured out.
This below expectations on Profitability is why the stock is down today. Confusing Revenue vs. Profit will surely take us down a terrible road we don't want to travel.
@qst+1hP6vDrq hit the nail on the head. People who get excited about revenue are missing the big picture. We are in trouble if we can't improve profit. It's as simple as that.
