In naturally aged mice treated from 80 weeks of age and followed until natural death, once-weekly PTC-2105 (25 mg/kg) significantly increased overall survival versus saline (log-rank p = 0.0142)“Speedy,” a PTC-2105-treated mouse now more than 167 weeks old, has outlived every saline-treated negative control in his study by more than 20% and remains active day and nightNew “Team Speedy” webpage, launching today at eossenolytix.com/team-speedy, invites the public to watch Speedy, predict how far he will go, and sign up for milestone alerts BERLIN and HOUSTON, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eos SENOLYTIX, Inc. (“Eos” or the “Company”) a biotechnology company developing mitochondria-targeted geropeptides to improve healthspan, today presented new preclinical survival, healthspan and mechanism-of-action data for its lead candidate, PTC-2105, in an Industry Keynote Address at the 17th World Congress on Targeting Mitochondria 2026 in Berlin. The keynote, “Building on the Foundation of Four: Advancing Mitochondrial-Targeted Geropeptide Medicine,” delivered by Dr. Kevin Slawin, Founder and CEO of Eos SENOLYTIX, acknowledged the contribution of Dr. Hazel Szeto, who with Dr. Peter Schiller co-discovered the four amino acid peptide, SS-31, (“elamipretide”), the first FDA-approved therapeutic that directly targets mitochondria. Dr. Szeto opened the session, Two Perspectives on Mitochondrial Medicine, with the academic keynote; the pair then joined a panel discussion immediately afterwards.
Alongside the presentation, the Company launched Team Speedy (eossenolytix.com/team-speedy), an interactive webpage that follows “Speedy,” the longest-surviving mouse in one of its survival studies, in real time, together with the full study data behind them.

Studying aging the slow way: naturally aged mice, followed until natural death
Eos SENOLYTIX tests its compounds in naturally aged C57BL/6 mice that arrive in their state of the art Houston R&D facility at about 75 weeks of age, already late in a lifespan that rarely exceeds about 155 weeks. Rather than using accelerated-aging models, every treated and control animal is followed until it dies of natural causes, with continuous home-cage monitoring and serial measurements of body composition, strength, metabolism and cognition. The Company has completed, started or planned more than 30 such studies.
Keynote highlights
Survival. In naturally aged male mice treated from 80 weeks of age, the 25 mg/kg once-weekly PTC-2105 group showed a statistically significant increase in overall survival versus saline controls (log-rank p = 0.0142). All saline-treated controls had died by 137 weeks of age. In the 2.5 mg/kg group, overall survival did not differ significantly from saline (p = 0.59), but cancer-specific survival was improved in a competing-risks analysis (p = 0.0149). One mouse from that group, Speedy, is still alive. PTC-2105 appears to preserve and optimize late-life health, when naturally aging mice transition into a phase of “terminal decline” prior to age-related death, a transition that appears blocked by PTC-2105. Standard survival statistics, such as the log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazards model, work best when a treatment lowers the risk of death (the hazard ratio) by the same amount throughout life, so they can understate a benefit like this one that appears only later in life.Healthspan. Continuous 24/7 video monitoring in Olden DOME cages shows that Speedy, at 166 weeks, still had a clear day–night activity rhythm, with nighttime activity above that of untreated 100-week-old mice. At 146 weeks of age, PTC-2105-treated mice had a higher percentage of lean mass than either young (21-week) or older (84-week) untreated mice. In a separate study in aged female mice, PTC-2105 produced large dose-dependent gains in a composite functional index derived from continuous home-cage monitoring.Mechanism. PTC-2105 engages cardiolipin-containing membranes of the inner mitochondrial membrane and is designed to act in two ways: restoring mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP production in aging cells, and selectively triggering mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in senescent cells, which drive chronic age-related inflammation (“inflammaging”).Metabolism and body composition. In aged mice with diet-induced obesity, weight loss with PTC-2105 alone exceeded weight loss with the GLP-1 drug semaglutide (“SMG”) after about 30 weeks of treatment, while lean mass, uniquely in weight-loss studies, increased from baseline.Potentially concerning lifespan signal in SMG-treated mice. Later in life, SMG-treated mice entered an accelerated “terminal decline of aging” and died earlier than both PTC-2105-treated and saline-treated mice. In that study, the lean-mass loss that followed SMG cycling may have contributed to that earlier decline. A 180-mouse study is now under way to confirm this observation and to test whether cycling GLP-1 drugs on and off carries a lasting cost in lean mass or lifespan, and whether PTC-2105 can prevent it.Toward the clinic. Eos SENOLYTIX is planning first in man studies, followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1b study of PTC-2105 in participants aged 60 and older with sarcopenia. The 12-week study’s primary endpoint is safety; key secondary endpoints including mechanistic biomarkers, e.g. SASP and SENESCORE™, our proprietary mechanism-anchored blood measure of biological age integrating T-cell senescence, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and inflammaging. Additionally, the Company plans to measure DEXA body composition, grip strength, and other endpoints including discerning measures of muscle mass and composition, muscle strength, and physical function with a focus on measuring gerotherapeutic effects across a wide range of organ systems affected by aging-related diseases.MitoXcel Technology platform. PTC-2105 is the lead candidate from MitoXcel, a broader family of mitochondria-targeted geropeptides discovered and owned by GEROTHERAPEUTIX, Inc. (gerotherapeutix.com), with applications beyond Eos SENOLYTIX’s exclusively licensed gerotherapeutic field. MitoXcel technology is also in development as a novel cancer therapeutic by Perseus SENOLYTIX, Inc., and in consumer products by Ponce Aurora, Inc., including cosmetics, beverages and other products. These consumer products are not drugs and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Learn more about the platform at mitoxcel.com. “The goal of geroscience is not simply more years, but more healthy years,” said Dr. Slawin. “What we presented today is a body of evidence, gathered the slow way in naturally aged animals followed until their natural death, which showed that targeting mitochondrial decline and senescent cells together can improve both healthspan and lifespan in mice. Our next step is to find out whether these benefits carry over to older adults, starting in older individuals with sarcopenia.”
Meet Team Speedy
Speedy has been treated with PTC-2105 since he was 80 weeks old. At 167 weeks of age, he has now lived more than 6.8 months past the last of the untreated controls in his study and past the roughly 155-week lifespan ceiling reported for his strain.

About PTC-2105
PTC-2105 is a once-weekly, subcutaneously injected geropeptide from the MitoXcel platform. It targets the age-related decline in mitochondrial membrane potential, a hallmark of aging, through two mechanisms: enhancing mitochondrial efficiency in aging cells and selectively eliminating senescent cells through mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Eos SENOLYTIX holds an exclusive license to develop PTC-2105 for FDA-regulated therapeutic uses outside cancer, with an initial focus on sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.

Brings internal teams, suppliers, and partners into secure Rooms to review 2D and 3D product content in the browser Keeps comments, markups, versions, and decisions in context to accelerate reviews and reduce rework Leverages AI to turn complex discussions into clear and actionable next steps and Windchill connectivity to carry decisions into downstream execution , /PRNewswire/ -- PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced the launch of its PTC Jetstream™ cloud and AI-native product collaboration solution to connect people, product information, and decisions – enabling product companies to move faster, catch issues earlier, and bring great products to market.
Image courtesy of PTC. As products become more complex, organizations need to bring expertise from across the business into the development process without slowing innovation, but reviews and discussions that shape a product are often scattered across disconnected tools and processes. This fragmentation makes it harder to reconcile input, maintain a clear record of what was agreed, and carry that work into execution. PTC Jetstream addresses this long-standing challenge by providing a shared environment for real-time and asynchronous collaboration across teams and stakeholders. By connecting conversations, feedback, and decisions directly to product context, such as the data created and managed in PTC's Windchill® PLM solution, PTC Jetstream enables productive collaboration without compromising governance or traceability.
"At GE Appliances, we design and build the appliances that households rely on every day. Bringing those products to market requires close coordination across engineering, manufacturing, and supplier teams around the world," said Dave Leone, Senior Director, Digital Engineering, GE Appliances. "We were impressed by how quickly stakeholders could participate in reviews and get the information they needed with PTC Jetstream, helping our teams focus more on solving engineering challenges and less on managing process."
PTC Jetstream capabilities include:
Secure Collaboration Rooms: Create access-controlled workspaces for selected employees, suppliers, and partners to participate in product reviews. Browser-Based Product Review: View supported 2D and 3D product data without requiring every participant to work directly in CAD or PLM. Contextual Feedback: Tie comments and markups to the relevant content being reviewed, including the data version, who reviewed it, when, and the context (e.g., a specific view of the design), making feedback easier to understand and act on. AI Room Summaries: Surface key discussions, outcomes, next steps, and owners, giving teams a quick view of where a review stands. Windchill Connectivity: Start a collaboration from Windchill, share product data to the Collaboration Rooms and return a record of the issues raised and decisions reached against the product data back to Windchill, so teams working in Windchill know what was agreed and why. "Product development is a team effort, but the tools used to support it have not kept pace with how widely distributed that team has become," said Jon Stevenson, Chief Product Officer, PTC. "PTC Jetstream gives every contributor a more direct way to shape the product and can carry the context of those decisions back into Windchill, turning collaboration into a connected part of product development so companies can move from collective expertise to great products faster."
With PTC Jetstream, Windchill, and the rest of its portfolio, PTC is delivering on its vision for the Intelligent Product Lifecycle: enabling manufacturers to build a modern product data foundation, extend that data across the enterprise, and unlock AI‑powered transformation. Broader use of product data enables companies to bring higher‑quality products to market faster, manage complexity at scale, and support new digital business models.

Good morning, good afternoon, and thank you, everybody, for your continuous interest in Schneider Electric and joining us in a short notice.

As usual, the presentation materials, together with the press release issued earlier today, will be available on our website following the call.
I will now hand over to you, Olivier and Nathan, who will discuss the transaction in more detail before you open for Q&A. Olivier, over to you.
Olivier Pascal Blum
Chief Executive Officer
Thank you, Antoine. So good morning to all of you, and thanks for being with us. Indeed, it's an important announcement we are making today. So I'll go straight really into why we are doing this acquisition with PTC. So first of all, what has been very obvious
From a technical perspective, PTC Inc. (PTC - Free Report) is looking like an interesting pick, as it just reached a key level of support. PTC's 50-day simple moving average crossed above its 200-day simple moving average, which is known as a "golden cross" in the trading world.
A golden cross is a technical chart pattern that can signify a potential bullish breakout. It's formed from a crossover involving a security's short-term moving average breaking above a longer-term moving average, with the most common moving averages being the 50-day and the 200-day, since bigger time periods tend to form stronger breakouts.
There are three stages to a golden cross. First, there must be a downtrend in a stock's price that eventually bottoms out. Then, the stock's shorter moving average crosses over its longer moving average, triggering a positive trend reversal. The third stage is when a stock continues the upward momentum to higher prices.
A golden cross contrasts with a death cross, another widely-followed chart pattern that suggests bearish momentum could be on the horizon.
PTC has rallied 36.3% over the past four weeks, and the company is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank at the moment. This combination indicates PTC could be poised for a breakout.
The bullish case solidifies once investors consider PTC's positive earnings outlook. For the current quarter, no earnings estimate has been cut compared to 1 revision higher in the past 60 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased too.
Given this move in earnings estimates and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on PTC for more gains in the near future.

AI Exposure Without the Hype: 3 ETFs That Offer Smarter AI BetsSchneider Electric said it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire PTC NASDAQ: PTC for $205 per share in cash, a transaction that implies an enterprise value of about €21 billion and is intended to expand Schneider’s industrial software, artificial intelligence and digital capabilities.
Chief Executive Officer Olivier Blum said the acquisition would add product design and lifecycle-management software to Schneider’s existing technology portfolio, which includes AVEVA, ETAP and the pending acquisition of Cognite. He described the deal as the “last brick” in Schneider’s portfolio strategy to connect physical operations with digital systems across the asset lifecycle.
Get PTC alerts:
Building a Digital Thread Massive Potential: 3 Tech Stocks Positioned for Breakout SuccessBlum said Schneider’s customers are accelerating their digital transformations in pursuit of improved productivity, efficiency, resilience and sustainability. The company believes technology, digital tools and AI can help customers achieve those objectives, he said.
PTC brings capabilities in computer-aided design, product lifecycle management, application lifecycle management and service lifecycle management, including its Creo and Windchill offerings. Schneider said these tools would complement its existing strengths in energy management, industrial automation, process control, engineering, industrial data and AI.
Autodesk Stock Up 25%, Analysts Want More Double-Digit GainsSchneider’s vision is to provide an open and interoperable digital system spanning design, control, data and intelligence. The company said it does not intend to create a closed ecosystem and wants customers to retain the ability to use third-party hardware and software alongside Schneider offerings.
“We create a unique digital system which is based on design, control, data, and intelligence,” Blum said. He added that combining PTC’s product-design data with Schneider’s energy and industrial capabilities could help customers make decisions at the enterprise level and apply intelligence back to physical operations.
The company cited potential applications in energy storage manufacturing, machine building and data centers. For example, Schneider said PTC’s mechanical-design capabilities could be combined with ETAP’s electrical-design tools, while PTC software could complement Schneider’s automation offerings for machine builders.
Synergy and Market Expansion Targets Chief Financial Officer Nathan Fast said Schneider expects to generate €250 million in cost synergies within three years, alongside approximately €250 million in one-time implementation costs. The anticipated cost savings include the elimination of U.S. public-company costs, procurement savings and selected infrastructure and IT efficiencies.
Schneider also identified €800 million in potential revenue synergies through cross-selling software into complementary customer bases, expanding access through Schneider’s partner network and developing AI-enabled digital-thread offerings.
Fast said the companies’ customer and industry exposure is complementary, with Schneider gaining deeper access to discrete and hybrid industrial customers and PTC gaining broader access to Schneider’s process and hybrid customer base. Blum also said PTC broadens Schneider’s exposure to sectors including automotive and aerospace.
Schneider said the deal would triple its accessible industrial software market. On a 2025 reference basis, the combined software-assisted business would represent 24% of group revenue, up five percentage points from Schneider on a standalone basis. The portfolio would have 89% recurring revenue, according to the company.
Financial Profile and Financing Fast said PTC is expected to contribute approximately 10% organic annual recurring revenue and revenue growth in the medium term, with an approximately 85% gross margin, a 40% adjusted EBITA margin before synergies and cash conversion above 100%.
The transaction is valued at approximately 13 times adjusted EBITA including full run-rate synergies, Schneider said. The company expects the acquisition to be immediately accretive to adjusted earnings per share before purchase price accounting in the first year: low single-digit accretion with base synergies and mid- to high-single-digit accretion with full run-rate synergies.
Schneider expects transaction return on capital employed to exceed its weighted average cost of capital by year five, including full run-rate synergies.
The €22 billion total cash consideration is backed by a fully underwritten bridge facility. Schneider plans to fund the deal with €5 billion to €6 billion of equity raised through an ABO and €16 billion to €17 billion of senior debt across multiple currencies.
The company said its capital-allocation priorities remain unchanged, including its commitment to a Category A credit rating, progressive dividend policy, active portfolio management and the overall size of its 2030 share-buyback program. However, share repurchases are expected to pause during 2027 and 2028.
Closing Timeline and Integration The transaction is expected to close by the third quarter of 2027, subject to regulatory approvals and a simple-majority vote by PTC shareholders. Schneider said it expects to seek customary approvals, including a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, but does not anticipate major issues.
Until closing, the companies will continue to operate separately. Blum said Schneider intends to build a unified industrial software organization encompassing AVEVA, Cognite and PTC, while preserving specialized capabilities where needed. Retaining key personnel will be a priority, he said.
Schneider said it has not yet finalized the timing for raising equity and refinancing debt, though Fast said the company intends to reduce financing risk rapidly.

Schneider Electric, the French energy technology company, has agreed to buy PTC Inc (NASDAQ:PTC), the Boston-based industrial software maker, for $205 a share in cash, valuing its equity at about $22.6 billion.
The deal, announced on Monday, implies an enterprise value of $23.7 billion, which adds net debt to the equity price, and gives PTC shareholders a 42.3% premium to its last closing price.
The price is also 46.1% above PTC's volume-weighted average share price over the previous 30 trading days, a measure that weights each day's price by the number of shares traded.
PTC, which employs more than 7,000 people and serves more than 30,000 customers, makes software for computer-aided design and product lifecycle management, helping customers manage product and engineering data from initial definition and design through service and optimization.
PTC generated revenue of about $2.7 billion in 2025 with an adjusted margin of roughly 40% on earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (EBITA), a measure of operating profit.
Brokers expect PTC's revenue to grow about 10% annually through 2029, and the enterprise value equals 21 times estimated 2027 adjusted EBITA, or 13 times when full run-rate synergies are included.
Schneider Electric expects $281 million in annual cost synergies, meaning savings from combining the businesses, by the third year, and about $900 million in revenue synergies from cross-selling to each other's customers.
The total cash consideration of about $24.8 billion is secured by a fully committed bridge facility from Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Société Générale, to be funded through new shares and debt.
Schneider Electric plans to raise about $5.6 billion to $6.8 billion through an accelerated bookbuild, a rapid share sale to institutional investors, and $18 billion to $19.1 billion in debt.
The company expects the deal to lift adjusted earnings per share by a low single-digit percentage in the first year of full consolidation, and by a mid-to-high single-digit percentage including full run-rate synergies.
Both companies' boards approved the deal unanimously, and completion is expected by the third quarter of 2027, subject to approval by PTC shareholders and regulators.
Shares of PTC opened nearly 35% higher on Monday in New York.

What happened PTC Inc. (NASDAQ: PTC) said on October 5, 2026, that Schneider Electric signed a definitive agreement to acquire it for cash. PTC shareholders will receive $205 a share, and the company said the deal values equity at about $22.6 billion and implies a $23.7 billion enterprise value. The boards of both companies approved the merger, and PTC's board recommended that shareholders approve it.

Why it matters OptimistFi's case is that PTC can compound value if its software stays embedded in industrial workflows and renewals keep turning into cash. Schneider Electric said PTC serves more than 30,000 customers globally. It sells CAD, PLM, ALM and SLM tools that help customers design, build and maintain complex physical products. Schneider Electric said PTC generated $2.4 billion of revenue and about a 40% Adj. EBITA margin in CY25. The offer carries a 42.3% premium to the last close, and OptimistFi's own comparison shows the enterprise value is about $1.1 billion above the equity value.
The filing says the transaction is expected to deliver 250 million of annual run-rate cost synergies by Year 3 and about 800 million of revenue synergies. It also says the deal should be low single-digit accretive to Adj. EPS in the first year of full consolidation and mid- to high-single-digit accretive including full run-rate synergies. The merger is still pending shareholder and regulatory approvals, so the cash value is not yet realized.

What's next PTC said shareholders holding a majority of outstanding shares must approve the merger. The deal also needs antitrust and foreign investment clearances, including HSR and CFIUS review. Closing is anticipated by Q3 2027. If approvals slip or fail, the transaction could miss that target. Schneider Electric will host an investor call at 8:00 a.m. Central European Time on October 5, 2026, and will bring forward third-quarter 2026 revenue release to October 16, 2026.

France’s Schneider Electric shares tumbled about 9% on Monday after the company announced plans to acquire US industrial software group PTC for $22.6 billion, with investors likely questioning the hefty premium and the debt burden needed to fund the deal.
Schneider said it expects to complete the all-cash acquisition in the third quarter of 2027 at $205 per PTC share.
The offer represents a 42.3% premium to PTC’s last closing price and marks the largest acquisition in Schneider’s history.
The transaction is a major expansion of Schneider’s software ambitions, but its scale has raised concerns about valuation, financing and the ability to deliver promised synergies.
The $205-per-share offer values PTC at roughly 20–21 times its expected 2027 EBITDA before synergies, a multiple that some investors consider stretched.
PTC’s valuation had fallen as low as 13.1 times next-12-month earnings this year, according to FactSet.
Schneider said the transaction is priced at 13 times earnings after taking synergies into account.
However, much of that benefit comes from projected revenue synergies, which can be more difficult to realise than cost savings.
“AI disruption fears are still weighing on software valuations, which allows acquiring PTC at a decade-low valuation but could still weigh on [Schneider] post-deal,” Jefferies analysts led by Lucas Ferhani said.
Citi analysts described the transaction as Schneider’s “largest deal yet,” but said it should not come as a surprise given the company’s earlier pursuit of acquisitions including Aveva and Bentley Systems.
“The deal may be seen as opportunistic — ‘SaaSpocalypse’ fears have led to the de-rating of many industrial software companies on AI disruption fears — and the onus will be on Schneider to show how the combined software and hardware offering fortifies its moat,” the analysts said.
They added that, given the size of the transaction, investors should seek greater disclosure around the details of the “enlarged software business within Schneider.”
Schneider will finance the acquisition through a combination of new equity and debt.
It plans to raise €5 billion to €6 billion through an Accelerated Bookbuild Offering of new shares, alongside €16 billion to €17 billion in new debt.
The financing is likely to increase Schneider’s leverage significantly and could create near-term earnings dilution for existing shareholders.
JPMorgan analysts said, “Large-scale M&A is typically unwelcome in the first instance by European investors, although Schneider Electric's deals have typically proven strategically astute, if debatable from a valuation standpoint."
JPMorgan reiterated its Overweight rating and €345 price target on Schneider, while acknowledging that the PTC deal represents roughly 12% of the French company’s market capitalisation.
The bank expects the acquisition to become accretive to sales and EBITDA over time.
Schneider expects the combined business to deliver €250 million in annual run-rate cost savings by the third year after closing.
It is also targeting about €800 million in revenue synergies.
The PTC acquisition builds on Schneider’s growing push into industrial software and artificial intelligence.
The company agreed in June to acquire Cognite Holding, a privately held provider of AI software and industrial data.
Schneider has also undergone a broader transformation in recent years.
Once primarily associated with electrical components such as fuses and circuit breakers, it now supplies critical infrastructure for data centres, including cooling systems, server racks and power distribution equipment.
Surging data-centre investment, particularly in the US, has become an increasingly important growth driver for Schneider and is helping offset weaker demand in some traditional electrical-equipment markets.
PTC provides software used to design, manufacture and service products across multiple industries.
Its portfolio has also benefited from growing interest in AI-powered industrial tools.

Key Takeaways PTC trades at 5.54 times forward sales, below its five-year median of 7.35 times.PTC's fiscal third-quarter revenue fell 7%, while operating margin dropped 290 basis points.PTC needs $79M-$92M in fourth-quarter net new annual run rate to meet its annual growth outlook. PTC Inc. (PTC - Free Report) now presents a more balanced investment debate after a sharp pullback reset expectations and valuation. The lower multiple improves the entry-point discussion, but the latest quarter did not remove execution questions.
Investors are weighing buyback support and stronger annual run rate visibility against softer revenue trends, margin pressure and a fourth quarter that carries a heavier conversion burden.
PTC's Valuation Has Reset Below Its Five-Year MedianPTC trades at 5.54 times forward 12-month sales, below its five-year median of 7.35 times. The multiple is also slightly below the software subindustry’s 5.7 times, giving the stock a relative discount within its peer set.
That discount is not unqualified. The S&P 500’s 4.87-times multiple remains lower, and PTC’s weaker recent share-price performance shows that investors are still applying a penalty for uneven operating momentum.
PTC's Mixed Quarter Clouds the Near-Term CasePTC reported fiscal third-quarter non-GAAP earnings of $1.58 per share, below the $1.60 consensus. Revenues of $600 million missed estimates by 2.9% and declined 7% year over year.
Margin trends also showed pressure. Non-GAAP operating margin fell 290 basis points to 41%, limiting the argument that lower valuation alone is enough to offset near-term softness.
Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK - Free Report) remains a relevant comparison because its design and make software also serves engineering and manufacturing users. Dassault Systèmes SE (DASTY - Free Report) , with its 3DEXPERIENCE platform, is another reference point for investors comparing CAD, product lifecycle management and digital engineering software vendors.
PTC's Guidance Requires a Strong Fourth QuarterPTC’s fiscal 2026 outlook calls for revenues of $2.69 billion to $2.75 billion and non-GAAP earnings of $7.87 to $8.42 per share. The guidance range leaves room for a better finish, but it still depends on deal conversion.
The annual run rate target is the key watch item. After generating $60 million of sequential net new annual run rate in the third quarter, PTC needs $79 million to $92 million in the fourth quarter to reach its annual growth outlook.
PTC’s Buybacks Lift Per-Share Support but Reduce FlexibilityPTC repurchased $525 million of common stock in the third quarter and expects full-year repurchases of about $1.625 billion. A smaller diluted share count can support earnings per share and signals management’s willingness to act when it sees the stock as compressed.
The trade-off is balance-sheet flexibility. Cash declined to $351.5 million, while debt rose to about $1.4 billion, leaving less room for error if customer conversions or annual run rate timing slip.
PTC's Price Target Offers Limited but Positive UpsideThe $150 price target compares with a $136.30 reference price, implying positive but moderate upside. The target is based on 5.8 times forward sales, which is above the current valuation but still close to the software subindustry level.
That upside is constructive rather than decisive. It does not fully offset concerns around competitive pressure, foreign exchange exposure and PTC’s reliance on a strong fourth quarter.
PTC's Scores Favor Patience Over AggressionThe bottom line is that PTC’s reset valuation improves the stock’s risk-reward profile, but the case still requires cleaner execution. The pullback has created a more reasonable multiple, yet fiscal third-quarter misses and fourth-quarter annual run rate demands keep the investment debate open.
PTC currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which aligns with a mixed near-term setup rather than a clear buying signal. Its Value Score of C recognizes the valuation reset, while Growth Score, Momentum Score and VGM Score of D suggest investors may need more evidence of earnings acceleration and stronger stock momentum before taking a more aggressive stance.

Key Takeaways PTC is focusing on CAD, PLM and AI-enabled engineering after divesting Kepware and ThingWorx.Competitive displacement value doubled, while fiscal 2027 deferred ARR was roughly twice last year's level.PTC needs $79M-$92M in fourth-quarter net new ARR to reach 9%-9.5% full-year growth. PTC Inc. (PTC - Free Report) is narrowing its software story around product data, lifecycle workflows and AI-enabled engineering after divesting Kepware and ThingWorx.
The sharper focus raises a central investor question. Can better execution and a more concentrated portfolio sustain recurring growth while fourth-quarter annual run rate conversion remains a key test?
PTC Builds Around CAD and PLMPTC's lifecycle portfolio centers on product lifecycle management products such as Windchill, ServiceMax, Codebeamer, Servigistics and Arena. Its computer-aided design lineup includes Creo and the cloud-native Onshape platform.
That mix gives PTC exposure to engineering, service and software-development workflows. Product lifecycle management and computer-aided design represented 64% and 36% of fiscal 2025 revenues, respectively, while subscriptions generated 95% of revenues.
PTC's Go-to-Market Reset Gains TractionThe commercial reset is showing up in representative productivity, renewals, pipeline quality, deal velocity and competitive wins. Management has also pointed to deeper vertical expertise and more executive-level customer engagement.
The aggregate value of competitive displacements doubled year over year. Deferred annual run rate for fiscal 2027 was roughly twice the comparable prior-year level, giving PTC more visibility if those commitments convert as planned.
PTC Targets a Fourth-Quarter ARR Step-UpConstant-currency annual run rate, excluding Kepware and ThingWorx, reached $2.448 billion in the fiscal third quarter. That represented 9.1% year-over-year growth and exceeded the high end of the company’s quarterly guidance range.
The full-year outlook now calls for 9% to 9.5% growth on the same constant-currency basis. To get there, PTC needs $79 million to $92 million of sequential net new annual run rate in the fourth quarter after generating $60 million in the third quarter.
PTC Converts Cash Flow Into Shareholder SupportPTC generated $835 million of free cash flow in the first nine months of fiscal 2026. Management maintained its full-year free cash flow target of about $850 million despite divestiture-related cash items and non-recurring capital expenditures.
Capital returns remain a major part of the setup. Planned fiscal 2026 repurchases of about $1.625 billion are expected to reduce the fully diluted share count to roughly 116 million, compared with 121 million in fiscal 2025.
PTC Still Faces Execution and Competition RisksExecution risk remains concentrated in the fourth quarter, where annual run rate conversion needs to step up sharply. Foreign exchange can also distort reported results, with quarter-end exchange rates lowering reported annual run rate versus constant-currency results.
Competition is another constraint. Dassault Systèmes SE (DASTY - Free Report) is relevant in computer-aided design and product lifecycle management, while Siemens AG (SIEGY - Free Report) competes through its Teamcenter and broader industrial software portfolio. AI adoption may help demand, but customers often move from pilots to scale cautiously.
PTC's Signals Support a Measured OutlookPTC's focused lifecycle strategy, cash generation and AI roadmap support a constructive long-term narrative. The near-term case still depends on annual run rate conversion, continued platform consolidation and proof that AI adoption expands beyond early use cases.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which points to a balanced near-term earnings-revision picture rather than a decisive positive catalyst. The Value Score of C offers some support after the pullback, while the Growth Score, Momentum Score and VGM Score of D suggest investors may wait for clearer evidence of stronger earnings acceleration. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
Key Takeaways PTC links governed product data across engineering, service and supply chains to support trusted AI workflows.PTC's ServiceMax AI won near seven-figure deals after pilots cut prep time 50% and lifted productivity 4%.PTC raised fiscal 2026 constant-currency annual run rate guidance to 9%-9.5%, implying $214M net growth. PTC Inc. (PTC - Free Report) is leaning into a theme that now cuts across industrial software: manufacturers want cleaner product data, governed workflows and cloud collaboration before they scale artificial intelligence.
The company’s intelligent product lifecycle strategy ties computer-aided design, product lifecycle management, application lifecycle management and service lifecycle management to decisions across engineering, service and supply chains.
PTC Makes Governed Data the Foundation for AIPTC’s AI argument starts with data discipline. Industrial customers manage designs, configurations, bills of material, source code and service records that need traceability and access controls.
That makes PTC’s systems of record more strategic. If AI must work inside trusted product workflows, Windchill, Creo, Codebeamer, Arena and ServiceMax can become the data layer rather than just task-specific tools.
PTC is adding cloud and AI capabilities through Onshape, Windchill+, Creo AI, PTC Orbit, Onshape Labs and PTC Jetstream. These offerings extend product data from design into quality, service and supply-chain processes.
Onshape’s cloud-native architecture and collaboration model are also drawing AI-related usage. Autodesk (ADSK - Free Report) remains a relevant peer in design software, while Dassault Systèmes (DASTY - Free Report) is another industrial software name tied to 3D design, simulation and lifecycle workflows.
PTC Sees AI Pilots Begin to Scale Into RevenuePTC’s clearest monetization proof came from ServiceMax AI. The company won a near seven-figure agreement with a large industrial automation customer after a pilot reduced technician preparation time by 50% and improved service workforce productivity by 4%.
Management also pointed to a global heating, ventilation and air conditioning customer that expanded to a near seven-figure ServiceMax AI deal. The pipeline is growing, but adoption is still moving from focused workflows toward broader deployments.
PTC Broadens Reach Across Service and Supply ChainsThe ServiceMax AI example shows how PTC can move beyond engineering departments. Asset intelligence and field service use cases give the company a path to connect product records with technician activity and installed-base performance.
Supply-chain analysis is another extension. Arena’s supply-chain intelligence and PTC Jetstream can bring product data to more users, which may increase participation across customer organizations rather than keeping product lifecycle management limited to engineers.
PTC Wins Reflect Demand for Platform ConsolidationPTC’s recent wins show customers are standardizing around fewer product platforms. Its aerospace and defense win with Windchill involved a competitive displacement and was tied to modernization of engineering and manufacturing operations.
The U.S. Army’s Windchill selection, Mazda’s Codebeamer adoption, Toyota Racing Development’s use of Creo and Windchill and the Onshape-Altium integration point to the same need. Siemens AG (SIEGY - Free Report) , through its digital industries software portfolio, remains part of the broader competitive context as manufacturers choose platforms for complex product development.
PTC's Scores Temper the Emerging Trend StoryThe bottom line is that PTC has credible secular drivers in AI, cloud engineering, service automation and product data governance. The company also raised and narrowed its constant-currency annual run rate guidance for fiscal 2026 to 9% to 9.5%, with a midpoint implying $214 million in net annual run rate growth.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). That rank suggests investors should avoid treating the trend story as a near-term buy signal by itself. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
PTC’s Growth Score of C, Momentum Score of D and VGM Score of C add a more balanced reading. Style Scores are designed to complement the Zacks Rank, so investors may want to track scaled AI revenue, annual run rate conversion and cloud adoption before assigning full value to the emerging trend opportunity.

Launches Codebeamer 3.3, Codebeamer AI 1.2, and Pure Variants 7.3, strengthening traceability, change management, and AI governance Automates how engineering teams carry approved changes across product variants and controls who can approve them Introduces an AI Search Assistant powered by semantic search, helping teams quickly find more complete and accurate results , /PRNewswire/ -- PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced the latest enhancements to its application lifecycle management (ALM) portfolio with the release of its Codebeamer® 3.3, Codebeamer AI 1.2, and Pure Variants™ 7.3 solutions. Together, the releases address two challenges engineering teams face regularly: keeping changes consistent across product variants and finding the right information within them.
Image courtesy of PTC. PTC's ALM portfolio is the leading system of record for software development and requirements management for automotive, medtech, federal, aerospace, and defense industries. These releases extend that leadership with stronger traceability and change management features, plus governed AI assistance that aligns with regulatory and quality requirements.
"Our customers are managing more product variants and configurations than ever, and every hour spent untangling a merge or hunting for a requirement is time not spent building better products," said Enrique Krajmalnik, General Manager of ALM at PTC. "These releases provide a way to reuse changes across configurations and a smarter way to find what they need, so they can manage complexity with confidence, not just keep up with it."
These releases introduce the following new capabilities and functionality:
Codebeamer 3.3 strengthens configuration management with Delta Merge, which automatically carries an approved change across related product variants instead of requiring engineers to reapply it manually, a new Streams Tab for tracking those variant lines, and role-based Stream Management Permissions that control who can approve changes within them, along with deeper integrations to PTC's Windchill® PLM solution and the digital thread. Codebeamer AI 1.2 introduces an AI Search Assistant powered by semantic search, helping teams find more complete and accurate results by understanding the meaning and intent behind a search rather than matching search text, with a new Indexing Service that gives regulated industries control over how and where their data is processed. Pure Variants 7.3 adds fast and efficient Stream Transformation, which converts a configured product variant into a working set (a linked copy of requirements in Codebeamer tied to that variant), so requirements automatically update to reflect the variant's specific features and values instead of being copied and adjusted manually. With Codebeamer, Pure Variants, and the rest of its portfolio, PTC is delivering on its vision for the Intelligent Product Lifecycle: enabling manufacturers and product companies to build a product data foundation, extend the value of that data across their enterprise, and accelerate AI-driven transformation.

It has been about a month since the last earnings report for PTC Inc. (PTC - Free Report) . Shares have added about 16.6% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.
But investors have to be wondering, will the recent positive trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is PTC Inc. due for a pullback? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its latest earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important catalysts.
PTC's Q3 Earnings Miss EstimatesPTC reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 non-GAAP earnings of $1.58 per share, a 4% decline year over year. It missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.60. Management had estimated non-GAAP EPS in the range of $1.24-$1.78.
Revenues totaled $600 million, a 7% decline year over year (8% at constant currency or cc). The top line also missed the consensus estimate by 2.9%. Management projected revenues in the $580-$640 million range. According to management, historical financials were not restated after the Kepware and ThingWorx divestiture, as the sale did not qualify as discontinued operations.
Consequently, fiscal 2026 includes their contribution only until March 13, 2026, the date of the divestiture, while fiscal 2025 reflects a full year, affecting year-over-year comparisons for revenue, EPS and cash flow. Quarterly revenue was below the guidance midpoint solely due to the shorter duration of a single large contract expansion, while deal durations across the broader business remained stable.
Nonetheless, its Intelligent Product Lifecycle vision integrates AI across its major product portfolio, including Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Service Lifecycle Management (SLM). PTC aims to build an intelligence layer across these platforms, allowing organizations to leverage trusted engineering and operational data more effectively. This strategy positions the company well as manufacturers increasingly seek AI-driven automation, predictive analytics and digital engineering capabilities.
Top-Line DetailsRecurring revenues of $576 million dipped 6% year over year.
Perpetual licenses decreased 91% to $691,000.
Professional services revenues were $23.3 million, up 3.3% year over year.
Revenues by License, Support and ServicesLicense revenues were $205.8 million, down 18.2% from the year-ago quarter figure.
Support and cloud services revenues of $370.9 million edged up 0.3% year over year.
Revenues by Product GroupIn the fiscal third quarter, PLM revenues (59% of net sales) were $357 million, slipping 12% year over year.
CAD revenues (41%) were $243 million, up 1%.
ARR Model Continues to StrengthenAnnualized recurring revenues (ARR) were $2.4 billion, up 7% year over year. At cc, ARR was $2.5 billion, up 9.1%. PTC generated $60 million in net new ARR in the fiscal third quarter, led by solid demand across its go-to-market initiatives and encouraging early traction for its AI offerings. Backed by this momentum, PTC raised the midpoint of its full-year ARR growth guidance to 9.25%.
PTC raised and narrowed its full-year ARR guidance, with the midpoint implying $214 million in net new ARR, reflecting strong go-to-market execution and improved pipeline visibility. The company expects a significant acceleration in the fiscal fourth quarter, supported by healthy demand generation and the conversion of deferred ARR, with net new ARR (excluding Kepware and ThingWorx) projected at $79-$92 million.
In the fiscal third quarter, PLM and CAD ARR were $1,426 million and $986 million, rising 8% and 6% year over year, respectively.
Operating DetailsTotal operating expenses came in at $324 million, almost on par with the prior-year quarter.
