Progress Software Corp. Hits New 52-Week Low at $40.85

Progress Software Corp. has reached a new 52-week low, trading at USD 40.85 as of September 23, 2025. This marks a significant decline for the small-cap software company, which has seen its stock price decrease by 17.51% over the past year, contrasting sharply with the S&P 500's performance of 17.38% during the same period.
The company's market capitalization stands at USD 1,862 million, with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 38.00. Despite a return on equity of 16.27%, Progress Software's financial metrics indicate challenges, including a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.01 and a price-to-book ratio of 4.11. The stock's performance has been further impacted by a net profit decline of 33.8% over the last nine months, alongside a return on capital employed (ROCE) of just 8.87%.

In addition, the stock has generated a return of -26.77% over the past year, reflecting a broader trend of underperformance compared to both its peers and the S&P 500. As the company navigates these financial dynamics, its recent price movement underscores the ongoing volatility in the software products sector.
