SAP Stock is Flying High, But That May Not Last
Does momentum in large-cap tech stocks and "MAGA" have you fearing the worst is near? Those worries may also be further away than investors imagine and encapsulated in European tech giant SAP SE (NYSE:SAP) stock.Source: Tada Images / Shutterstock.com Let's look at what's happening off and on the price chart of SAP stock and why, if you're going to swim in today's riskier market current, a hedged stock strategy with a good defense first is paramount.Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), a.k.a. Google and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) - the tech giants were collectively hailed as an investible variation of "Make America Great Again" by President Donald Trump immediately in front of Wall Street's short-lived but crippling coronavirus-driven bear market.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading TipsFebruary's self-congratulating declaration couldn't have been more ill-timed. Yet each of the tech giants have come roaring back to record highs while forcefully leading the broader markets into positive territory.In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, MAGA's collective technologies have literally and figuratively come to the rescue of both businesses and individuals amid lockdowns, work-from-home trends and social distancing mandates. And in tow, their stocks have prospered to the point of being priced for perfection or at least a good old-fashioned correction. But they're not alone either.Across-the-pond Europe's largest tech outfit, German-based enterprise software and business analytics giant SAP has also reaped the benefits of Covid-19. Among other things, customers have relied on SAP's products to reconfigure supply chains amid disruptions and permanent dislocations tied to the pandemic. SAP even partnered with Deutsche Telekom (OTCMKTS:DTEGY) and built a contract tracing app for the coronavirus.It appears SAP is helping on many fronts amid the Covid outbreak. And late July's top and bottom-line beat offered evidence of SAP's growing influence. As well, the company's valuation of nearly $200 billion is a testament to SAP's worth. To be fair, admittance into the trillion-dollar club isn't a concern. Still, the commitment by investors is obvious. And much like its U.S. counterparts, SAP is also historically rich.Look at the price-earnings ratio, the cash flow relative to price and the sales relative to its stock price. The metrics point at an expensive stock. SAP may not be priced for perfection, but shares are without question, optimistically bid.Sure, the argument could be made SAP is less expensive based on select financial ratios than MAGA stocks. But reaching for relative value across-the-pond after a record-breaking and increasingly rich, momentum-driven rally whose tendrils also stretch across-the-pond is a tough sell. SAP Stock Monthly Price ChartSource: Charts by TradingView What might not be a tough sell are shares of SAP. I'm not warning SAP is an outright short. Still, terribly like MAGA stocks, SAP has benefited from the coronavirus, loose global monetary policies and increasingly popular momentum investing by hitting multiple all-time highs since June. It's a concern. And right now, this price action carries with it, increased downside risk.SAP's riskier 'V'-shaped price action has taken the stock outside its upper Bollinger Band for a third straight month. It's extreme. The last incident where SAP traded through this indicator's resistance for a handful of months was in 2011. That convinced bullish behavior preceded a multi-month bear market correction of about 30% before the uptrend eventually resumed. As well and not helping matters, shares simultaneously jumped above a long-term resistance line.The trillion-dollar question for SAP stock is whether history will repeat? There are no guarantees it will. But I wouldn't turn a blind eye to today's risks, especially given September's perennially weak tendencies and not to mention October's famously bearish episodes.If investors are still looking to brave today's market waters, I'd advise using an adaptable, limited and reduced risk stock collar strategy. Thursday's decline of about 4% might look like a great deal, but corrections of 15% to 20% are common for stocks of SAP's caliber during weaker market cycles. The Bottom Line For SAP StockGiving up a bit of upside potential for the right to maintain a bulletproof defense may not be as popular as momentum investing these days. But in the event this time isn't any different, it's no contest which investor will come out on top.On the date of publication, Chris Tyler did not hold, directly or indirectly, positions in any of the securities mentioned in this article.Chris Tyler is a former floor-based, derivatives market maker on the American and Pacific exchanges.

4 Earnings Highlights From Companies On OTC Markets
The June earnings season is just about complete. Below are earnings highlights from four mid-to-large-cap companies that don't trade on a U.S. exchange, but rather on the OTCQX Market.Computer Services, Inc. (OTCQX: CSVI)Computer Services provides financial technology and regulatory compliance solutions to financial institutions and corporate customers across the U.S.The company reported record revenue of $70.6 million for its Q1 ended May 31, which represents a 2.3% increase year-over-year. Net income per share rose 13.3% year-over-year, to $0.51 compared with $0.45 in the year-ago period.That top and bottom-line growth was attributed to higher sales in the Enterprise Banking and Business Solutions Groups, with the company specifically citing growth in digital banking, regulatory compliance services, managed services, and document delivery as banks were forced to shift to remote operations in the wake of Covid-19.Shares of CVSI are up 9% since the company reported on July 7.Deutsche Telekom AG (OTCQX: DTEGY; DTEGF) Deutsche Telekom is one of the world's largest telecom companies, with operations in more than 50 countries. The company also owns a 43% stake in T-Mobile (NYSE: TMUS).Buoyed the closure of the T-Mobile-Sprint merger in April, Deutsche Telekom saw a 37% increase in revenue in the second quarter. More importantly the company raised its adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance for the fiscal year. The company now expects Adjusted EBITDA after leases of $40.1 billion this year compared to its previously issued guidance of $30.1 billion, and free cash flow after leases of at least $6.51 billion.Shares of DTEGY are down 1% since the company reported on August 13.Experian plc (OTCQX: EXPGY; EXPGF)One of the three major credit reporting agencies, Dublin-based Experian reported a 1% annual drop in revenue on a constant currency basis, though there were divergences in different markets.North America, which accounts for 63% of the company's revenue, proved particularly resilient during the quarter, as organic revenue increased 4% year-over-year. The company said this was the result of "good demand for credit education and identity monitoring subscription services, benefiting from heightened consumer interest during this period."Organic revenue in Latin America was flat for the period, while the UK-Ireland and Asia-Pacific markets both experienced a 15% drop.Shares of EXPGF are up 5% since the company reported on July 16.Kingfisher plc (OTCQX: KGFHY; KGFHF)Kingfisher is an international home improvement company with over 1,300 stores across 10 countries in Europe, Russia, and Turkey. Its main retail brands are B&Q, Castorama, Brico Depot and Screwfix.Despite store closures in the first half of April, the overall like-for-like sales (the UK equivalent to same-store sales) grew 21% during the quarter. Upon reopening in May, like-for-like sales increased by double digits in the UK, Ireland, France, and Poland. In June, sales in Romania and Iberia had also increased year-over-year.Like its U.S. peers Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and Lowe's (NYSE: LOW), much of that growth was driven by e-commerce. In May and June, Kingfisher e-commerce sales grew 202% and 225% respectively.Shares of KGFHY are up 30% since the company reported on July 21.See more from Benzinga * We Asked A Market Structure Expert To Change One Rule About The Stock Market * Why Is The Structure Of The Stock Market So Complicated? * This May Explain Why The Stock Market And Economy Have Diverged So Much(C) 2020 Benzinga.com.
