If you believe BSY can sustain double-digit revenue growth and preserve its 24.1% operating margin, then holding or accumulating BSY is reasonable because its profitability and quality metrics are clearly superior to AZPN’s currently weak earnings profile.
BSY trades at 42.3x P/E and 7.5x P/S, which is rich in absolute terms but supported by superior earnings and revenue quality versus AZPN’s current loss-making profile. BSY’s $35.95 price is near the midpoint of its historical band and well above the DCF range, suggesting the market is already pricing in durable high-quality growth.
