Analysis
Progress Software Corporation (PRGS) currently trades at $42.84, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $34.76, implying the stock looks roughly 18.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Progress Software Corporation generated revenue of $988M at a net margin of 8.6%. Revenue grew 4.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.3%. Net debt stands at $756M. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $21.97 (bear case) to $43.45 (bull case); at $42.84, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 35% below its 52-week high and 80% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -50% fair-value upside, at -19%, PRGS screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($39.27) versus Economic Profit ($7.32). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
