It seems like an interesting buy $DSY.PA, I don't yet have the software segment well represented in my portfolio.... could you please send me a counterargument on this stock? Thank you.....
Here’s an overview of how Dassault Systèmes is doing — current P/E, forward P/E, and what forecasts say for the future.
📊 Current P/E and forward P/E
According to one source, P/E (ttm) is ~26.8 and forward P/E ~17.4.
Another metric shows a P/E of 18.6 and a forward P/E of about 20.9 for the stock (on a different basis).
🔮 Estimates / forecast for earnings and growth
Analysts expect EPS (earnings per share) to grow by ~10.6% annually and revenues by ~5.6% p.a.
The company itself has set an ambitious target: between 2025–2029 it aims for EPS to grow by ~15% annually (CAGR).
Return on equity (ROE) should be around 18.4% over a three-year horizon.
⚠️ Implications — risks and limitations
The forward P/E looks reasonable, but the expected growth isn’t extremely high — EPS growth is moderate (around 10–15% per year), while revenue growth is rather modest.
This stock is therefore essentially a bet that the company will hit its ambitious profit-growth target; if it misses, the price could drop.
The value the company offers isn’t “cheap” — expectations are substantial and much is already priced in by the market.
