# PTC Inc. (PTC) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Software. Price $141.02, market value $15.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 13.7×** (5-yr avg 45.9×, 3-yr avg 53.4×). PTC Inc. trades at 13.7× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 45.9×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 15.8×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.17**. A PEG of 0.17 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 5.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.2×.
- **Price / book: 4.5×**. The shares trade at 4.5× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 13.4×**. Enterprise value is 13.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.1%** (5-yr avg 3.2%). Free cash flow equals 6.1% of the market value, above its five-year average of 3.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 7.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 7.3% of the price is earned each year.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 94.9%** (3-yr 31.9%/yr, 5-yr 40.3%/yr). Earnings per share rose 94.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
