About: Bentley Systems is a software vendor that caters to engineers, architects, constructors, and geospatial professionals by enabling design, modeling, simulation and project, and data management of infrastructure assets. The firm delivers solutions via the cloud, desktop, and hybrid environments. While Bentley is relatively small in comparison with peers like Autodesk, it shines in core specialty areas, like bridge or rail design, as opposed to being more broad-based in its applications. As of fiscal 2022, approximately 58% of revenue is derived from outside the U.S. (with 28% of revenue coming from EMEA and 18% coming from APAC as of fiscal 2022). Bentley's largest end market is the public works and utilities sector, which represents approximately two thirds of revenue.

Bentley Systems: Rating Upgrade On Cheaper Valuation And Positive Growth Outlook
Upgraded BSY rating to buy due to attractive valuation at 40x forward PE and expected revenue growth acceleration to mid-teens percentage in coming years.
