French industrial software giant Dassault Systèmes reported fourth-quarter revenue of €1.68 billion, a year-on-year decline of 4.1%. The full-year performance and growth guidance for 2026 both fell short of expectations, leading to a 21% drop in stock price on Wednesday, nearing the largest intraday decline in history. The company provides generative 3D virtual environment software for NVIDIA, and although NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang described the collaboration as "revolutionary," the market remains skeptical about its transformation effectiveness. The company is facing dual pressures from declining demand in the automotive and pharmaceutical industries and the accelerated replacement of traditional software business by AI tools

- Dassault Systemes SE's stock fell 21% on Wednesday, attributed to disappointing fourth-quarter earnings and a weak outlook for 2026, leading to a trading halt.
