Important Disclosures

S.A.P. employs a rating system using Buy, Sell and Neutral recommendations. The recommendation is for the long-term or 6 months and beyond. For example, a Buy means that we expect the stock to appreciate by 15% or more over a 1 year horizon, a Sell by �15% or more and a Neutral to neither appreciate nor depreciate in value beyond market moves. We use a blended aggregation of metrics versus each company�s peer group to determine price targets including P/R, P/E, PEG ratio, cash/share and DCF as well as, when necessary, sum of the parts valuation.
