Operating Margin Forecast Cut: Dassault Systemes has lowered its annual operating margin growth forecast due to market volatility from tariffs, resulting in a 9% drop in its shares. The company now expects a 50-70 basis point increase by 2025, down from the previous 70-100 basis points.
Revenue and Growth Outlook: Despite the margin cut, Dassault maintained its total revenue growth outlook of 6%-8% and earnings per share growth of 7%-10% for 2025, with first-quarter revenue rising 4% to €1.57 billion, although it fell short of analyst expectations.
