Quality

75

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 75 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

22

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 22 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Favorable

64

of 100 · stored research reading

In the company’s own words

What this company does

Our consulting revenue is significantly dependent upon our consulting personnel implementing new license and Pega Cloud arrangements.

We derive a substantial portion of our consulting revenue from implementations of new license and Pega Cloud arrangements managed by our consulting personnel and consulting for partner and client-led implementation efforts. Our strategy is to support and encourage partner-led and client-led implementations to increase the breadth, capability, and depth of market capacity to deliver implementation services to our clients. Accordingly, if our consulting personnel’s involvement in future implementations decreases, this could materially adversely affect our consulting revenue.

If we are unsuccessful in our trade secret litigation with Appian Corp. our operating results and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

We are currently party to litigation with Appian Corp. — see Part I, Item 3 "Legal Proceedings" and "Note 20. Commitments And Contingencies" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report. On September 15, 2022, the circuit court of Fairfax County entered judgment for Appian in the amount of $2,060,479,287 with post-judgment interest. On July 30, 2024, the Court of Appeals of Virginia issued a written opinion that reversed judgment on Appian’s Virginia Uniform Trade Secrets Act claim and ordered a new trial on that claim. On January 8, 2026, the Supreme Court of Virginia issued a written opinion unanimously affirming the ruling of the Court of Appeals of Virginia and on January 29, 2026 remanded Appian’s trade secret case to the Court of Appeals with direction to remand to the Circuit Court of Fairfax County for further proceedings in accordance with its written opinion. Although it is not possible to predict timing, the entirety of the litigation process, including retrial and possible future appeals, could potentially take years to complete. We continue to believe we did not misappropriate any alleged trade secrets and that sales of our products at issue were not caused by, or the result of, any alleged misappropriation of trade secrets. We are unable to reasonably estimate possible damages because of, among other things, uncertainty as to the outcome of any new trial or subsequent appellate proceedings.
