Bentley Systems is trading at $38.24, up 4.12%, as investors buy beaten-down software shares ahead of major technology earnings.

  • The move extends the prior session’s gain amid reports of a software-led rebound.
  • Cantor Fitzgerald’s earlier target increase and a Seequent AI product story were cited as supportive context; neither was a new October 20 announcement.
  • Volume was below average, and broad-market gains were mixed; sector sentiment was the clearest reported explanation, not a fresh company-specific catalyst.
