BSY

Bentley Systems, a newly initiated position during the quarter, is an example of a stock getting heavily discounted by a negative top-down industry narrative, with defensible and compelling long-term prospects. Watsco announced the acquisition of two separate family-run businesses. These acquisitions should increase revenue and cash flow by roughly 10%. We remained committed to MarketAxess stock for several reasons, including the fact that the company was exiting a heavy investment cycle, setting up strong operating leverage.

Bentley Systems is undervalued, with the market overlooking its AI integration and resilient, high-retention engineering software business. BSY's core business delivers 12% ARR growth, 109% net revenue retention, and a 31% trailing FCF margin, supporting its current 22x forward P/E multiple. AI-enabled MCP servers position BSY as a critical platform for engineering workflows, with monetization of AI usage planned for 2027 and potential TAM expansion.
