Growth Surging Relative to Value Note: This report is presented in an abbreviated format, as we are in production of our January US Macro Vision book. As we head into Q4 earnings season we remain bullish on the broad market. Our bullish outlook is supported by the themes highlighted below: • Price Trends Remain Bullish. Price trends for major indexes in the US (large-, mid-, and small-caps) and abroad (MSCI EM and EAFE) remain on bullish trajectories. • Internals are Healthy. Advance/dec...
Global growth synchronization, round two? The S&P 500 is working through 2,817 resistance and our technical work continues to support an overall positive outlook. Below we highlight a number of recent developments, including improving markets in Europe which may give rise to a global growth synchronization theme. As markets improve in Europe and in EM countries, U.S. markets in turn should get a tailwind from improved conditions overseas under the idea that a rising tide lifts all boats. • T...
Investors continue to prefer the stability of the U.S. relative to emerging markets. The decline in emerging markets and their currencies suggest global risk aversion. U.S. equity markets are, by contrast, not showing any significant signs of coming unhinged as a result of this rout in emerging markets. We continue to monitor the following to assess the health of the U.S. market: • U.S. Dollar: The U.S. dollar remains the de-facto world currency and has aided the U.S. equity markets in sta...
Q1/18 confirmed a development which had already been suggested in Q4/17: The braking effect which had affected the VAR (value added reseller) business of MuM through the transformation of Autodesk (into a subscription-based business model) has tapered off. In Q1/18, both segments contributed to revenue growth in the group (+6.8%), whereby the higher-margin business with own software showed a higher dynamic (9.3%). We believe that the market inadequately takes into consideration both the momentum...
Q1/18 bestätigte eine Entwicklung die sich bereits in Q4/17 angedeutet hatte: Der Bremseffekt, der sich durch die Autodesk-Transformation (von einem Lizenz- hin zu einem Subscription-Geschäftsmodell) auf das Systemhausgeschäft der MuM ausgewirkt hatte, ist ausgelaufen. Beide Segmente trugen in Q1/18 zum Konzernumsatzwachstum (+6,8%) bei, wobei das margenstärkere Geschäft mit eigener Software eine höhere Dynamik zeigte (+9,3%). Wir denken, dass der Markt beim „hybriden“ Geschäftsmodell (Systemhau...
Dassault’s third-quarter results represented another good quarter for the firm, with healthy new licenses growth and broad-based demand across most of its geographic regions. However, China was weaker than expected, with lower spending by the country’s state-owned enterprises. While Dassault reiterated its full-year new license sales growth target of 8%-10% and recurring software growth of 6%, it did marginally lower its full-year total revenue growth range, operating margin, and EPS. The de...
Dassault Systemes reported a solid second-quarter result, delivering software revenue and EPS toward the high end of its guidance. However, the firm announced that the strengthening of the euro would have an impact on its full-year guidance and lowered the midpoint of its fiscal 2017 revenue by EUR 50 million to EUR 3.252 billion and its EPS by EUR 0.06 to EUR 2.64. Notably, Dassault signed a partnership extension with Boeing in the quarter. We think the agreement, which covers multiple industry...
Dassault reported a good end to fiscal 2016 with healthy sales across the firm’s major brands. Although CATIA’s performance was the weakest of the major brands, the result reflected users shifting from V5 to Dassault’s newer V6, or 3DExperience platform, and doesn’t reflect any structural weakness for the firm’s flagship product. In fact, we very much like Dassault’s industry position and believe it’s wide economic rating remains as relevant as ever. Management provided a new fisca...

Dassault Systemes’ third-quarter results were mostly in line with our expectations, although new licensing revenue growth was a little weaker than management’s forecast as a result of clients delaying their purchasing decisions. Our fair value estimate remains unchanged at EUR 63, and we reiterate our wide economic moat rating. Even with the stock pulling back on the quarter, we still think investors should wait for a larger margin of safety. From a macro standpoint, weakness in Latin Americ...
