PTC reported its fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results on Wednesday, November 4, after the close of trading. The company release covers the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026.

Revenue pressure meets recurring growth

PTC said fourth-quarter revenue declined 24 percent year over year on a constant-currency basis. Annual recurring revenue increased 1 percent year over year on an as-reported basis, highlighting continued growth in recurring contracts despite the reported revenue decline.

The company also noted that fourth-quarter cash flow included divestiture-related costs and cash taxes that are not expected to recur in future years. Investors therefore need to distinguish between reported cash generation and the effects of these transaction-related items.

Acquisition changes investor focus

PTC said it had entered a definitive agreement to be acquired by Schneider Electric. Because of the proposed transaction, the company is suspending quarterly earnings conference calls and is no longer providing quarterly or annual guidance.

PTC stock traded at 173.00 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 23:00 CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Investors can follow the real-time quote of PTC stock.
