PTC Inc. (PTC) on Decifer

Decifer ranks PTC number 266 of 273 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 14% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 19% a year, profits grew 95% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• And it returns cash to shareholders.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
• Its profit margin and growth are both unusually high right now compared to its own history, the kind of combination that often fades once conditions normalize.
• Profits up 95% catch the eye but returns around 14%, no funded role, durability pressure, and momentum of 1 out of 35 leave the growth case thin.
