Charles Brennan has given his Sell rating due to a combination of factors, primarily centered around Dassault Systemes’ recent financial performance. The company reported disappointing third-quarter results for 2025, with revenue growth falling short of expectations. While the earnings per share (EPS) have been maintained, the focus on optimizing EPS rather than achieving substantial growth is a concern for investors who prioritize expansion.
Furthermore, although there is mention of an accelerated transition to a subscription model, which could potentially offer future benefits, the immediate outlook remains bleak. The guidance for the fourth quarter suggests only a modest 7% revenue growth, which does not indicate a significant turnaround. Coupled with the current strong share price, Brennan anticipates a negative market reaction, reinforcing his Sell recommendation.
According to TipRanks, Brennan is a 5-star analyst with an average return of 10.1% and a 63.08% success rate. Brennan covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as SAP SE, Temenos, and Capgemini SE.
