PTC Inc

Latest Report Overview

PTC Inc. (PTC) reported For the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026 (Issuer fiscal Q2 FY2026) revenue of $774.3 million (+22% YoY) with net income of $590.7 million and diluted EPS of $4.98. A standout KPI is the reported 38.2% GAAP operating margin, compared to 35.1% in the prior-year quarter, reflecting operational efficiency and revenue scale despite divestiture-related costs. Driving the quarter’s performance, the company successfully completed the divestiture of its Kepware and ThingWorx businesses on March 13, 2026, receiving $523 million in cash proceeds and realizing a $463 million gain on sale. This strategic move allows PTC to focus more heavily on its core CAD and PLM product groups, which reported software revenue growth of 24% (driven by license revenue growth in both product groups) in the second quarter. The recurring nature of the business remains a pillar, with 95% of year-to-date revenue being recurring. Management continues to prioritize capital returns, using divestiture proceeds to fund an aggressive share repurchase program. During Q2 '26, the company repurchased $626 million of its stock, including an Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement (ASR) for $375 million. Looking forward, the company maintains a robust liquidity position and expects to continue investing in its core Intelligent Product Lifecycle portfolio and AI-integrated software solutions, balancing growth and profitability.
