Differences between Investing vs Trading

SAP is a German multinational software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. SAP is headquartered in Walldorf, Baden-Württemberg, with regional offices in 130 countries. The company has over 335,000 customers in 190 countries.

SAP was founded in 1972 by five former IBM employees in Mannheim, Germany. They originally named their company Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung ("System Analysis and Program Development"). In 1981, SAP launched its first application, mySAP ERP. mySAP ERP later became the main product of SAP. In 1988, SAP went public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. SAP is the largest enterprise software company in the world. In 2019, SAP had total revenues of €27.9 billion. SAP's main competitors are Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM.

SAP's share price has seen a lot of ups and downs over the years. The German software giant has been one of the most successful tech companies in the world, but its stock price has been volatile. In recent years, SAP's share price has been on a general upward trend. The company has reported strong financial results, and its stock has been rewarded by investors. However, there have been some bumps along the way.

In 2016, SAP's share price took a hit after the company announced that it was cutting its outlook for the year. The stock recovered quickly, however, and has continued to climb since then. Looking at the longer-term trend, SAP's share price has been on a general upward trend for the past decade. The stock is up more than 500% since 2009 and shows no signs of slowing down.

Investors who are bullish on SAP's prospects may want to consider buying the stock. Those who are more cautious may want to wait for a pullback before buying. Either way, SAP is a company with a long history of success, and its share price is likely to continue to be volatile.

There are some key differences between investing in and trading SAP shares using CFDs. When you invest in a company, you are buying shares in that company and becoming a shareholder. This means that you are entitled to any dividends that the company pays out, and you may be able to vote on certain company decisions. However, you will also be subject to the risks associated with owning shares, such as the risk of the share price falling.

When you trade SAP shares using CFDs, you are not buying shares in the company. Instead, you are speculating on the direction of the share price. This means that you can make money if the share price goes up or down, but you will not receive any dividends or have any voting rights. CFD trading is also a leveraged product, which means that you can trade with less capital than is required to buy the shares outright. This can lead to greater potential profits but also increased risks.

CFD trading may not be suitable for everyone, so it is important to understand the risks involved before you start trading. You can find more information on CFDs and how they work in our CFD trading tips for beginners.
