Analysis Summary

PTC presents a compelling picture, with strong returns on capital and a defensible moat that suggests a durable competitive advantage. While the current valuation offers a modest margin of safety, the company's ability to consistently grow and manage its debt conservatively is attractive for the long haul. This looks like a business with good operational discipline at a reasonable price.
