ANSYS, Inc. (NASDAQ:ANSS)

ansys makes virtual testing programs, models and such. the financial end is good, the creativity is strong and widening organic sales. they just keep getting better and better.

Got this company from a set of screens that I put.
- Flow ratio
- Growth of Revenue / Account Receivable ratio (meaning they manage their account better)
- Liquidity
- Profit Margin

Their product is not main stream, but it is a very specialized engineering software, which makes them hard to compete with (in their own niche market). Therefore, there is no indication on where this company will be beyond next year, but it can definitely generate some growth this year.

great tech sign

I use Ansys Multiphysics at work and I have been to their trade shows. As the success stories ripple through the industry about the amazing capabilities of their software, more companies will sign on. It is expensive software but it pays for itself in development time and in the process of understanding complex designs.

BIM Baby

ANSS is (IMHO) definitely going to continue to outperform the market during the recession. That's because engineering simulation is the *classic* way to save money in both manufacturing process development and current process improvement in a wide array of enterprises.

Infrastructure needs and engineering backlog point to increased need and reliance on this "Best of Breed" software. License revenue is reliable and provides great profit margin. My only worry is that analysts are staring to catch on.

Here's what they do: (don't bother, the bottom line is the stock has been on a terribly consistent rise since... well... long enough. I found them years ago sitting around $6 a share...) ANSYS, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the development and marketing of engineering simulation software and services used by engineers and designers in aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, electronics, biomedical, and defense industries.

Testing a portfolio of companies that start with the letter "A".

As an Ansys shareholder, I am disappointed that the shares are lower. However, I still think Ansys works in an attractive market segment and am willing to give some benefit of doubt to a management team that has quadrupled shareholder wealth over the last four years.

On a strictly technical basis, my magic charts say this will outperform the S&P
