INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$34.46
Trading above historical range
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 23.6x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: BSY is currently trading at $37.08, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $32.13 to $36.49. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 23.6) is in line with its historical norms (23.6). At these levels, the market is pricing in -0.0% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, BSY is in a strong uptrend. The price is approaching resistance at $37.33. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 41/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $44.47 (+19.9%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
