French technology giant Dassault Systèmes stock price plummeted more than 21% on Wednesday, 11 February 2026, after the tech giant posted lower-than-expected results in the October to December quarter of the calendar year ending 2025.
MarketWatch data showed that after the opening bell in Europe on Wednesday, Dassault Systèmes stock opened lower before crashing more than 21% to 17.54 euros, compared to 22.44 euros at the previous market close.
As per the consolidated financial statements, Dassault Systèmes’ net income for the fourth quarter rose 6.3% to 437 million euros, compared year-on-year (YoY) with 411 million euros in the same period a year ago.
Did Dassault Systèmes post a muted outlook?
In its official release, Dassault Systèmes said that its non-IFRS revenues are expected to grow by 3-5% for the year 2026. However, this also misses the estimates, according to a recent Bloomberg report.
“This transformation takes time, and disciplined execution requires that we create room to make the right decisions for long-term success. We anticipate 2026 total revenue growth between 3% and 5%, operating margin expansion of 40-80 basis points and EPS up 3% to 6%,” said Rouven Bergmann, CFO of Dassault Systèmes.
The financial statements released on Wednesday showed that the company recorded a total revenue of 1.68 billion euros in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a 4% fall from 1.75 billion euros in the same period a year ago. However, this marks a 1% rise on a constant currency basis (YoY).
According to the agency report, Dassault Systèmes’ revenue fell lower than the analysts’ estimates of 1.74 billion euros for the fourth quarter.
“We will share more at our Capital Markets Day in November, outlining how Dassault Systèmes is leading the next Industrial Revolution for long-term success,” said Dassault Systèmes CEO Pascal Daloz in the official statement.
