Percentile across ~4,600 US stocks on Ticker Nerd’s systematic factor model. Higher is better. How the model is built and tested
Quality (98): The business earns solid, repeatable profits on what it owns.
Accruals (43): A large share of reported profit has not shown up as cash, or the balance sheet is expanding quickly — both tend to unwind.
Size (10): Larger than most of the companies we track — more scrutinised, less often mispriced.

PTC reported quarterly earnings of $2.03 per share, above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.00. Earnings were $3.47 per share in the year-ago quarter.
Why it matters — PTC watchers may note that the quarterly earnings beat the consensus estimate while remaining below the year-ago figure.
PTC reported fourth-quarter and full fiscal-year 2026 results for the year ended September 30, 2026. Fourth-quarter ARR excluding divested businesses increased 8% as reported, while revenue declined 25% and non-GAAP earnings per share declined 40% year over year.
Why it matters — The results show growth in ARR alongside year-over-year declines in revenue, cash flow and earnings per share, key metrics for PTC watchers.
PTC’s fiscal Q4 results are expected to hinge on ARR growth, AI adoption and cash flow momentum. Its pending $22.6 billion acquisition by Schneider Electric adds another dimension.
Why it matters — PTC watchers may follow the results and the pending acquisition as key developments for the company.
Brodsky & Smith announced that it is reminding investors of investigations involving PTC Inc. and three other companies. The notice invites PTC shareholders to contact the firm to discuss the investigation.

Why it matters — The report mentions Information Technology as a source of relative weakness, but does not identify PTC or discuss its performance.
