Description: BSY Bentley Systems October 16, 2025
Bentley Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: BSY) develops and sells a broad suite of infrastructure-engineering software, ranging from open-modeling tools (e.g., MicroStation, OpenRoads, OpenRail) and simulation packages (e.g., STAAD, ADINA) to cloud-native platforms (ProjectWise, iTwin) that enable 4D/5D digital twins of civil, structural, geotechnical and utilities assets.
The firm’s customer base spans civil and structural engineers, geotechnical specialists, architects, city planners, contractors, fabricators, and O&M teams, reflecting a diversified demand across the global built-environment value chain.
Recent financials show FY 2024 revenue of roughly $262 million, with subscription-based Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) now exceeding $1.2 billion and an operating margin around 15 %, indicating a successful transition toward higher-margin SaaS and cloud offerings.
Macro-level drivers remain strong: the World Bank projects cumulative global infrastructure spending of more than $15 trillion through 2030, while U.S. federal infrastructure legislation continues to fund large-scale transportation and water projects-both of which directly expand the addressable market for Bentley’s software.
