#4 - Bentley Systems (NASDAQ:BSY)
In real estate, location is everything. When it comes to stocks, the sectors in which it does business matter a lot. That's a synopsis of the bull case for Bentley Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: BSY). The software development company has customers in the industrial, aerospace, and defense sectors—three sectors expected to be among the biggest winners in 2025. Bentley recently launched several new AI platforms that offer its customers improved productivity and efficiency.
Bentley Systems is another company on this list that went public in 2021. Like many stocks at that time, it shot higher without the earnings to back it up. The stock fell about 5% in 2024 despite year-over-year earnings climbing nearly 75%. Analysts believe the company’s earnings will grow by about 14% in the next 12 months. That supports analysts’ expectations for a 25% increase in the BSY stock price over that same period.
