Another promising software company just went public today (Sept. 23). The Bentley Systems stock price jumped 41% after its IPO.

Bentley Systems shares climbed as high as $31 from their pre-IPO range of $19-21 per share. That range was already an upgrade from yesterday's $17-19 per share.

The company raised $236.5 million with its IPO.

Today, we're going to talk about what makes Bentley Systems unique, and whether it's a buy or not moving forward.

Here are some things you might want to know before you invest in this company...

What Is Bentley Systems?

Bentley Systems is a software development company. But it's fairly niche compared to other recent software IPOs like Snowflake and JFrog.

This company makes software specifically to support infrastructure management. That is, many people responsible for managing roadways, bridges, and airports may rely on Bentley Systems to do their jobs.

Sign up for SMS so you never miss special events, exclusive offers, and weekly bonus trades.

Bentley offers an open platform for engineers, architects, and really anyone working in a technical capacity on a construction project to collaborate. The software integrates different jobs with applications specific to their needs.

Sorry; this signup opportunity has ended.

One of its highlights recently was the OpenGround Cloud, which helps construction teams plan every aspect of a dig at a particular site. Without OpenGround, these projects would require rapid manual planning and organizing, but this application enables managers to keep track of all of that in one place.

This company may have an advantage, being in such a niche market.

Here's how it fares in the industry...

Bentley Has Stiff Competition in Cloud Computing

Bentley Systems has three major competitors already public: Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), Trimble Inc. (NASDAQ: TRMB), and Dassault Systems (OTCPK: DASTY).

Bentley Systems operates in 171 countries in addition to the United States. The company's annual revenue comes in around $700 million.

Three stocks every investor should consider owning today, and dozens of stocks to drop immediately. Click here...

Compared to its competitors, this company might have a way to go. Autodesk and Trimble are both now above $3 billion in annual revenue. Dassault Systems is above $4 billion.

All three of those companies have net income above $300 million as well.

If Bentley Systems is going to join them in profitability, it will need to establish itself firmly in the infrastructure management software market with its products.

It's still up in the air whether it can do this. But that is besides the point of whether you should buy the stock right now...
