Valuing Progress Software Corporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Progress Software Corporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Progress Software Corporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 36x. In other words, Progress Software Corporation shares trade at around 36x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Progress Software Corporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.2027. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Progress Software Corporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Progress Software Corporation's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $242.9 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Progress Software Corporation's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 15.15% of net profits
Recently Progress Software Corporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Progress Software Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Progress Software Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $0.7 per share.
While Progress Software Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Progress Software Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Progress Software Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 September 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Progress Software Corporation's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 30 January 2011 . So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Progress Software Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Progress Software Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Progress Software Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Progress Software Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $47.8558 up to $68.9526. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
