In the last 52 weeks it traded between $21 and $35, and at that close it sat 39% of the way up from that low.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved −11% while the S&P 500 moved +245%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Open Text pay?

## Is Open Text profitable? Open Text Corporation earned $156 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +439.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $643 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 15.7% a year on average. That is 11.5% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $28.8 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $643 M (+47.5% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +2.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +5.1 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +143.2% and revenue +1.5%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Open Text make, and is it growing? Open Text Corporation reported $1.3 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +2.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 9.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $5.2 B. The last four reported quarters add to $5.2 B. FY26 revenue was $5.2 B, +1.5% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +1.5% on average, against 9.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +1.5%, against −4.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (accelerating); profit over the last 12 months grew +47.5%, against +17.6% a year (accelerating). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Open Text keep? Open Text Corporation's operating margin was 24.1% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 5.1 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 6 years it has been between 15.1% and 22.9%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +5.1 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +2.3 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## Is Open Text's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 182% of Open Text Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $1.0 B of operating cash against $643 M of profit. After $199 M of spending on assets, $808 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Open Text's cash go? Open Text Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $502 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 3.2% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $502 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Open Text's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Open Text Corporation's P/E is 9.9×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 7% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 20.5×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +56.4% while the price moved −24.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −10.4% a year; about +26.1% a year came from earnings growth and about −36.5 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Open Text business getting better or worse? Open Text Corporation's business is giving mixed signals. Growth has been steadily positive, but ROCE at 11.2% is below the 15% level needed to call it steady growth. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Open Text earn on its capital? Open Text Corporation earned a ROE of 16% in FY26. That is up from a low of 4% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 3.0 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 12.3% net margin and 0.40× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 12.3% net margin × 0.40× asset turnover × 3.26× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 16.0% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 9.9% − 6.9% = +3.0 percentage points. The 6.9% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. ## Does Open Text have too much debt? Open Text Corporation has total debt of $6.0 B against shareholder equity of $4.0 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 1.49× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.94 in FY21 to 1.49 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the Open Text shareholding pattern? 3.8% of Open Text Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 7.1 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Open Text from balance-sheet trouble? For Open Text Corporation, the Z-score is 1.35. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the danger zone. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 1.35 is inside the danger zone, so the balance sheet is a real risk. ## How does Open Text rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: Open Text Corporation is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Software - Application. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is Open Text compared with?
