From PEGASYSTEMS INC's FY2025 10-K, filed Feb 10, 2026 · read the filing
PEGASYSTEMS makes and sells software and computing services. It took in $1.75B last year, which makes it a mid-sized company. Of every dollar it sells, about 23 cents is left as profit.
The financial picture is led by profitability and growth, with debt worth watching.
A conclusion from the filings, not a recommendation. Detailed figures and supporting evidence appear in their dedicated sections below.

Measured against FY2024, from the 10-K filed Feb 10, 2026
Improved: +112.4%
$123.9M to $263.1MCritical
Why it matters: Profit from running the business, before interest and tax. Less exposed than profit to one-off financing and tax items, so a clearer read on the business itself.
Improved: +296.7%
$99.2M to $393.4MCritical
Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.
How the latest move compares (quote delayed ~15 min), and what was published around it
PEGA rose 4.18% on the latest quote. The average Technology company tracked here moved −1.27%, and the S&P 500 −0.52%. That is 5.4 points above its sector and 4.7 points above the market.
Expectations
Not from the filings — what other people are betting on, and what the price already assumes.
The growth rate someone buying today is paying for, against what the company has delivered
At today's price, the market is paying for free cash flow to shrink by about 1% a year for the next 10 years. Over the last 10 years it grew by about 24% a year.
The essentials
Each answered from the filings, with the numbers behind it.
Yes. It keeps about 23 cents of every dollar of sales as profit, earning $393.4M last year.
Yes, quickly. Sales grew 16.6% last year.
Manageable. For every $1 it owes, it owns $1.93 in assets.
Core operating and valuation reference metrics
Whether the dividend is covered by what the business actually earns
It pays out 4 cents of every dollar of profit and keeps the rest, which leaves the payment comfortably covered. It paid out 3% of the cash its operations generated. It has paid in each of the last 12 years.
GoodFigures from the FY2025 annual filing
Last year it earned $393.4M and generated $505.2M of cash from operations.

Every figure above traces back to a filing in the timeline, each linked to the document itself.
The 7 subsidiaries named in its 10-K, incorporated across 7 places. A filer lists the significant ones and may leave the rest out, so this is the floor rather than the full count.
Source: of the 10-K filed 2026-02-10. These are legal entities, not brands or acquisitions — a company that bought a business may hold it inside an entity named here, or inside one small enough that the rule does not require naming it at all.
Every company's figures are checked for internal consistency: the balance sheet adding up, figures sharing one currency, cash flow and share counts within plausible ranges, and how recent the latest annual report is. Nothing here changes a figure.
Financial figures are from PEGA's 10-K for fiscal year 2025 (period ending 2025-12-31, filed Feb 10, 2026), reported under the US GAAP taxonomy. View the source filing.
3 of 4 scored areas had enough reported figures to judge
The score averages profitability, growth, debt and accounting. Accounting had too few reported figures and is left out of the average rather than counted as a weakness, so a company is never marked down for a figure it did not publish. Cash generation is shown for context and already feeds profitability. Valuation is scored separately, because a share price says nothing about whether the business is sound. 8 of the 9 Piotroski checks could be evaluated. How the score works
Each year scored only from its annual report as it was first filed
| Fiscal year | Health | F-Score | Scored from |
|---|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | 8.7 | 8/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 10, 2026 |
| FY2024 | 6.0 | 5/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 12, 2025 |
| FY2023 | 6.0 | 7/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 14, 2024 |
| FY2022 | 3.3 | 4/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 15, 2023 |
| FY2021 | 4.7 | 5/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 16, 2022 |
| FY2020 | 3.3 | 5/8 | 10-K, filed Feb 17, 2021 |
A later restatement never reaches back into an earlier year, and every year is scored without a share price, so the latest point can differ a little from the headline score, which uses today's price.
Every check behind the three models, and what each one tests
8 of 8 checks passed
Nine yes-or-no tests of whether this year's finances improved on last year's. One could not be evaluated and is excluded from the total rather than counted as a failure.

In the safe zone
For this model, above 2.6 is safe and below 1.1 is distress.
Distance from bankruptcy, from a model fitted on companies that did and did not go bust. It describes a balance sheet's shape today; it does not forecast a failure.

Every figure above comes from the FY2025 filing as filed with the SEC.
Improved: +15.9 pts
6.6% to 22.5%Critical
Why it matters: What survives to the very end of each sale. Worth reading beside revenue: growing sales on a shrinking margin means the company is buying its growth.
Improved: +45.1%
$338.2M to $490.7MCritical
Why it matters: Cash left after paying for the plant that produced it — the money genuinely available for dividends, buybacks or paying down debt. Harder to flatter than profit.
Improved: +301.0%
$0.58 to $2.31Critical
Why it matters: Profit divided by the shares in issue at the period end, so it sits close to but not on the company's own reported figure. It can rise with no growth in profit when the company buys back stock — read it beside the share count.
Changed: +51.2%
$10.2M to $15.4MCritical
Why it matters: Cash handed to shareholders. A rise can be a higher dividend or simply more shares, and a cut is a decision the company explains in its own filing — neither is rated here.
Changed: +88.1%
$7.7M to $14.5MCritical
Why it matters: Neither good nor bad on its own. Heavy spending is a company building capacity or a company struggling to stand still, and the two look identical in this figure.
Improved: +16.6%
$1.50B to $1.75BSignificant
Why it matters: Sales are what everything else is built on. A fall can be lost customers, lower prices, or a business the company sold — the filing itself says which.
Improved: +19.7%
$1.11B to $1.32BSignificant
Why it matters: What is left of sales after the direct cost of producing them. It normally moves with revenue, so a move out of step with revenue is the part worth noticing.
Improved: +6.8 pts
8.3% to 15.1%Significant
Why it matters: What survives each sale after running the business. A falling operating margin beside a steady gross margin points at overheads — wages, marketing, research — rather than pricing.
Deteriorated: -37.0%
$337.1M to $212.4MSignificant
Why it matters: A falling cash pile is only a warning if the company is consuming it. Paying down debt, buying back stock and paying a dividend all reduce cash by choice.
Improved: +2.0 pts
73.9% to 75.9%Notable
Why it matters: What survives each sale before overheads. Falling gross margin usually means the company is discounting or its input costs rose — it is the earliest place pricing pressure shows.
Improved: -1.1%
172.2M to 170.3MNotable
Why it matters: The company bought back stock, so each remaining holding owns slightly more of it. Worth checking it was not funded by borrowing.

Why it matters: Profit swings far more than sales do, and one-off items — a legal settlement, a tax charge, an asset sale — move it without the underlying business changing.

Q3 FY2026 against Q2 FY2026, from the 10-Q filed Oct 20, 2026 — read it. Quarter-to-quarter moves include seasonal swings — a retailer's holiday quarter — which the year-earlier comparison removes.

Figures compare the two most recent annual filings — read the latest one. Moves are graded on fixed lines — 5%, 15% and 40% for amounts, and 1, 3 and 8 points for margins — as notable, significant or critical. Nothing here reads the management commentary, which is where a company explains its own numbers.
These coincide with the move in time. None is presented as its cause: a price can move on news that names no company, on the wider market, or on trading that no document records.

Discounted at 8%–10% a year, with growth settling to 2.5% after 10 years. Those rates are ordinary choices, not measurements: across that range the assumed growth works out between -3% and 1%. This describes what the price implies — it is not a forecast, and not a view on whether the price is right.
Opinions from 19 analysts covering this company, as of . Their views, not this site's.
Of 19 analysts publishing on this company, 4 say strong buy, 7 say buy and 8 say hold. Analysts are paid to publish a view and are wrong often; the split above says how much they agree with each other, which is the part a single headline rating hides.
Published by Finnhub. Analyst coverage skews towards larger companies and towards optimism — sell ratings are rare across the whole market, so a company with none is ordinary rather than endorsed.
Measured on and published about a week later — this is a fortnightly snapshot, not a live position.
About 5.8% of this company's shares have been borrowed and sold by people expecting to buy them back cheaper. That is a bet the price falls. Those people can be wrong, and when a heavily shorted share rises they have to buy it back, which pushes it up further.
Collected by FINRA from broker-dealers twice a month. It counts positions, not intentions, and some of it is hedging rather than a directional bet against the company.
Nothing in this section is a figure this company reported about itself. These are expectations and positions — what the price implies, what analysts have published, what short sellers are betting, and what large funds held at the last count. WylthIQ reports them; it does not endorse them, does not forecast prices, and takes no view on whether any of them will turn out to be right.
The trailing P/E is 60.3x — a high multiple relative to the current trailing profit.
