PTC Key Statistics
PTC in plain English
- P/E ratio (14.6) — how many dollars you pay for each $1 of PTC's yearly profit. That's on the low side, which can mean it's cheap — or that the market is worried.
- ROE (35.05%) — how efficiently the company turns shareholders' money into profit. Above ~20% is considered strong.
- Profit margin (41.43%) — of every $1 in sales, this is what's left as profit after all costs.
- Dividend — PTC doesn't pay a meaningful dividend; the return here comes from the share price, not cash payouts.
