Rating:76Outperform
Price Target:
$29.00
▲(28.21% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:07/25/26
The score is driven primarily by strong, resilient profitability and an improving balance sheet, supported by a constructive earnings call with reaffirmed guidance and strengthening recurring revenue metrics. Offsetting factors are mixed recent cash flow momentum and only moderate technical strength given the stock remains below its 200-day moving average.
Positive Factors
High gross and net margins
Sustained high gross (~82.5%) and healthy net margins (~19.9%) reflect durable software economics and pricing power. These margins support continued R&D and product investment, enable reinvestment into cloud and platform initiatives, and provide a buffer against cyclical revenue swings over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
Modest and uneven top-line growth
Low-single-digit revenue growth and material dispersion across regions and product lines signal a cautious growth profile. Persistently modest top-line expansion can limit operating leverage gains and reduces optionality for aggressive reinvestment, making sustained growth recovery a key medium-term execution challenge.

Dassault Systemes SA Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Jul 23, 2026
(Q2-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Oct 28, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized solid execution: recurring revenue and subscription metrics are strengthening, cloud and 3DEXPERIENCE adoption accelerated, margins and cash generation improved, and management reaffirmed guidance. Strategic progress includes a sizeable, highly recurring ArisGlobal acquisition to bolster life sciences and AI capabilities. Offsetting items include ongoing MEDIDATA headwinds, softness in China and parts of Europe (notably automotive), and temporary cash timing effects. Overall the positives around recurring growth, platform/cloud momentum, strong cash balance and clear strategic rationale for ArisGlobal outweigh the near-term regional/segment weaknesses and integration risks.Positive Updates
Revenue and Earnings Growth
Total revenue of EUR 1.556 billion, up 4% year-over-year; subscription revenue up 8% (twice as fast as total revenue). Operating profit increased 7% with operating margin at 30% (up ~90 bps ex-FX). EPS of EUR 0.31, up 8%; year-to-date revenue EUR 3.065 billion, up 3%, and YTD EPS EUR 0.61, up 6%.
Negative Updates
MEDIDATA/Life Sciences Near-Term Pressure

Company Guidance
Dassault confirmed its full‑year 2026 guidance with total revenue of EUR 6.296–6.416 billion (≈3%–5% growth ex‑FX), an operating margin of 32.2%–32.6% and EPS of EUR 1.30–1.34 (≈3%–6% growth ex‑FX); for Q3 management targets revenue of EUR 1.497–1.537 billion (3%–5% ex‑FX) with software +3%–5% and services +4%–8%, an operating margin of 31.0%–31.1% and EPS EUR 0.30–0.31 (4%–7% ex‑FX), using FX assumptions $1.18/€ and ¥170/€ and a Q3 tax rate of 17%. They reiterated the full‑year cash conversion target, noting H1 operating cash flow of EUR 1.237 billion (up 8% YoY, 11% ex‑FX), free cash flow up 13% ex‑FX, H1 cash conversion at 134% (vs. 123% prior), cash & equivalents EUR 5.66 billion and net cash ≈EUR 2.3 billion, and reported ARR additions of EUR 73 million to reach EUR 4.443 billion with subscriptions now ~50% of recurring revenue. Management said the ArisGlobal acquisition (expected close late Q3/early Q4 for $1.8 billion plus up to $200 million earn‑outs; estimated 2026 revenue ≈$175M) will be reflected after close but should not have a material 2026 financial impact given timing.Dassault Systemes SA Financial Statement Overview
