How to read this chart

60‑month range $15.08 – $70.40 · fair‑value band $29.16 – $70.94 · the $37.72 price screens below the $45.86 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.

Analysis

Pegasystems Inc (PEGA) currently trades at $37.72, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $45.86, implying the stock looks roughly 17.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 75/100 (high quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $54.57 per share, and 13 of the 26 models we run sit above the $37.72 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at $17.84, and 13 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Pegasystems Inc generated revenue of $1.7B at a net margin of 20.0%. Revenue declined 9.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 51.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $136M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $29.16 (bear case) to $70.94 (bull case); at $37.72, 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 45% below its 52-week high and 18% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −38% fair-value upside, at 22%, PEGA screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $1.19 per share, which is 2.6 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
