Company Report

PTC Earnings: Strong Revenue and Margin Performance, but Guidance Likely Underwhelms

We maintain our $138 per share fair value estimate for narrow-moat PTC after the firm reported fiscal second-quarter results above our expectations. We are pleased with the continued business momentum under PTC’s new CEO, and believe the firm is positioning its portfolio well to capitalize on digital transformation opportunities in end markets. Management narrowed its 2024 guidance ranges for both the top and bottom line, and also adjusted its medium-term target for annualized recurring revenue growth. While shares dropped 5% after hours, likely due to lower-than-expected third-quarter guidance, we continue to view the stock as overvalued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

PTC’s revenue should be able to grow significantly as its Internet of Things solutions take off.

Bears

PTC’s Internet of Things offering could struggle gaining momentum due to its lack of recognition on the factory floor.
