If you believe ANSS can sustain its 12.1% revenue growth and 28.2% operating margin, then ANSS looks attractive versus DHR because its profitability and balance sheet quality are stronger while DHR-implied pricing framework still supports a high implied value.
On DHR-based framework, ANSS has an implied price of $256.16, near the top of DHR implied range of $155.81 to $256.09. That suggests the market is already pricing ANSS close to the upper end of a DHR-relative multiple set, even though ANSS shows materially stronger operating metrics.
