PTC - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

PTC
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in PTC Inc. for these reasons:

  • PTC Inc. has a relatively high PE ratio of 64.33, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings. This could lead to a price correction if earnings do not meet investor expectations.
  • Recent insider selling, including a significant 67.23% decrease in ownership by the CAO, may raise concerns about the company's future prospects and could signal a lack of confidence from those within the company.
  • Analysts have mixed opinions, with some downgrading their ratings, such as Berenberg Bank reducing its rating from "buy" to "hold," which may indicate potential challenges ahead for the company.
  • The company's current ratio of 0.78 suggests that it may have liquidity issues, meaning it might struggle to cover short-term liabilities with its current assets.
  • PTC Inc. operates in a competitive market, and its products face pressure from emerging technologies and competitors, which could impact its market share and profitability.
