How it trades on rate days beta −0.25 to TLT · on the worst bond days it held up better than the market

How it trades on rate days

How PTC has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year −0.25 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), PTC Inc moved −0.25% on average · correlation −0.05 · higher than 5% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months −0.02 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −0.14% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −2.13% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — PTC Inc

PTC in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
PTC makes software that manufacturers use to design, build and service physical products: Windchill for product lifecycle management, ThingWorx for industrial internet-of-things data, Creo for 3D design, Arena and Onshape for cloud-based product development, and ServiceMax and Kepware for field service and factory connectivity. Its customers are industrial and manufacturing companies that need to track a product from design through to end of life. It is headquartered in Boston.
Where it sits in the stack
In our Agentic Winners 40 index, PTC sits in Tier C, Application Leaders, the sleeve of software firms that hold the working data other applications must plug into. Its platforms hold the digital twins and product records that manufacturing agents need to read and write, making PTC a dependency for any agentic system operating on the factory floor.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet groups it with the other Application Leaders — Adobe, Intuit, monday.com, Veeva Systems, HubSpot, Atlassian, Dassault Systèmes and Kingdee — as software firms that own a workflow rather than a model; the market also names Siemens as a competitor in industrial software.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
PTC is a constituent of the Agentic Winners 40 and carries a Closelooknet score, strongest on quality and weakest on momentum. The diary has named it in a dossier on the Agentic Winners 25, in a dossier on industrial and physical AI dependencies, and in the 101 piece setting out the index's tiers.
What the diary watches
Whether manufacturers extend ThingWorx and Windchill data into agentic workflows, since that would test the dependency the diary flags rather than assume it.

PTC Inc (PTC) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology. Constituent of Agentic Winners 40.
