UBS lifts target on 11.5% ARR growth

structured data est. revisions rising (+1.9pp / 30d)

The double-digit ARR growth and 109% net retention signal Bentley's infrastructure software is sticking and expanding within its customer base. UBS raised its price target from $40 to $43 but kept a Neutral rating—acknowledging momentum while staying cautious on valuation.

Watch: Watch whether ARR growth holds above 10% in upcoming quarters and if net retention stays above 105%. Any dip below those thresholds would challenge the premium valuation embedded in the current multiple.
