	"insight": "Piper Sandler maintained their Neutral rating on PTC's stock with a price target of $180.00.  **Lowered Growth Expectations and Uncertainty**: Piper Sandler's maintained Neutral rating reflects a cautious stance due to PTC's lowered annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth guidance from 9-10% to 7-9%. This adjustment suggests potential challenges ahead in the company's core manufacturing-centric customer base and introduces a degree of uncertainty regarding future growth prospects. **Financial Performance and Proactive Adjustments**: Despite PTC's healthy net new ARR in Q2 and a solid financial performance exceeding guidance, the decision to proactively lower expectations for the second half of the fiscal year indicates a conservative approach to forecasting amidst potential market and operational risks. This cautious outlook likely influenced Piper Sandler's decision to maintain a Neutral rating on the stock.",
