Overview
ANSYS faces significant challenges due to U.S. export restrictions impacting China, resulting in a revenue and ACV shortfall.

The Q&A reveals management's lack of specific mitigation plans, causing concern. However, the company's strong recurring revenue model and positive guidance for 2023 ACV and revenue provide a counterbalance. Overall, the mixed signals suggest a neutral stock price movement over the next two weeks.
