Analysis
Bargain bin
PTC Inc. falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.
The price is attractive. You pay 10.2× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -3% yearly growth; analysts expect 8%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is adequate. The company scores 20/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
