SAP reported fourth-quarter cloud sales that exceeded analysts' expectations, indicating robust growth in its cloud business. The company encouraged customers to transition to internet-based servers, which contributed to a strong finish for the year. SAP's CEO noted that half of the cloud order entries in the fourth quarter included artificial intelligence solutions. The positive performance comes amid a challenging environment, highlighted by a reported profit decline at Wacker Chemie, underscoring SAP's resilience as Europe's largest technology firm.
