SAP (NYSE:SAP) competes with Salesforce.com (CRM) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in the supply chain software and customer relationship management (CRM) software markets.  We currently have a Trefis price estimate of around $50 for SAP’s stock, about 7% above the current market price of around $47.

Trefis members have created forecasts for two key drivers of SAP’s (NYSE:SAP) stock over the last week: (1) SAP Market Share in Supply Chain Software and (2) SAP Market Share in Customer Relationship Software. The members’ forecasts suggest that SAP Market Share in Supply Chain Software will trend slightly below the Trefis estimate, while SAP Market Share in Customer Relationship Software will roughly be in line.  These projections suggest a combined downside of 1-2% for SAP’s stock.

We estimate that CRM software accounts for around 15% of the $50 Trefis price estimate for SAP’s stock while supply chain software constitutes around 11%.  Hence SAP’s stock is quite sensitive to (1) SAP Market Share in Supply Chain Software and (2) SAP Market Share in Customer Relationship Software.  Below are charts showing recent estimates created by Trefis members for the two drivers in detail.
