With a market cap of $17.8 billion, PTC Inc. (PTC) is a global provider of software solutions that empower manufacturing companies to design, operate, and manage products across its lifecycle. Its comprehensive portfolio includes industry-leading tools such as Creo for 3D CAD, Windchill for product lifecycle management, and ThingWorx for Industrial IoT, along with SaaS platforms like Onshape and Arena.
The Boston, Massachusetts-based company is slated to announce its fiscal Q2 2025 earnings results after the market closes on Wednesday, Apr. 30. Ahead of this event, analysts expect PTC to report a profit of $1.06 per share, a 3.6% decline from $1.10 per share in the year-ago quarter. However, it has exceeded Wall Street's earnings expectations in the past four quarters.
For fiscal 2025, analysts expect the industrial software company to report EPS of $4.39, a growth of 19.6% from $3.67 in fiscal 2024. In addition, EPS is anticipated to grow 22.8% year-over-year to $5.39 in fiscal 2026.
Shares of PTC have decreased 18.2% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the broader S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 6% rise and the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLK) marginal gain over the same period.
Despite PTC beating Q1 2025 expectations with adjusted EPS of $1.10 and revenue of $565.1 million on Feb. 5, its stock dropped 9.6% the next day due to a downward revision in full-year guidance. The company lowered its revenue outlook from $2.5 billion - $2.6 billion to $2.4 billion - $2.5 billion and trimmed its adjusted EPS guidance from $5.60 - $6.30 to $5.30–$6.
Analysts' consensus view on PTC stock remains cautiously optimistic, with a "Moderate Buy" rating overall. Out of 18 analysts covering the stock, 12 recommend a "Strong Buy," one "Moderate Buy," and five "Holds." As of writing, PTC is trading below the average analyst price target of $193.33.
