What does SAP have in common with Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google? As far as the company value is concerned, it is on the low side, but at least SAP is the only German company that plays a role in the world market with software. That’s why we’re not only looking at the stock exchange prices of the FAANG Group, but also at the price of SAP, which was founded in the 1970s. Because it is one of the most exciting companies at the interface between high-tech, digital and automotive, we also consider Tesla. The veteran of the digital world, Microsoft, can of course not be missing either.
