The analyst's take on Progress Software Corporation
Progress Software Corporation has grown revenue from $405.34M to $977.83M over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 17.2% a year. The most recent year was up 29.8%, so growth is actually accelerating.
Net margin sits at 7.5%, down 1.6 points year over year on a 80.8% gross margin. It carries about $1.40B of total debt.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly -9.7% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the 10.7% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price is arguably undemanding against what it has already proven. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is heavy debt load.
