The main question: the share price moved +44.8% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −120.0%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the PDF Solutions share price today? PDF Solutions, Inc.'s share price was $42.19 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 4 weeks. That is 5.6% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $25 and $65, and at that close it sat 43% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 12 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +197% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 14 August 2026. 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 PDF Solutions pay? PDF Solutions, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is PDF Solutions on? PDF Solutions is on one of our US lists: US tech stocks. [US tech stocks](https://www.sectoralpha.in/us-tech-stocks)

## Is PDF Solutions profitable? PDF Solutions, Inc. earned $4.3 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +272.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. The full FY25 year was a loss of $640 K. That is 6.9% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.1 M. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was −$640 K (−115.8% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +18.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +6.0 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +40.8% and revenue +23.1%. 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 PDF Solutions make, and is it growing? PDF Solutions, Inc. reported $61.5 M of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +18.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 18.5% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $219 M. The last four reported quarters add to $241 M. FY25 revenue was $219 M, +22.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +23.1% on average, against 18.5% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +23.0%, against +20.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does PDF Solutions keep? PDF Solutions, Inc.'s operating margin was 8.2% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 6.0 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between −14.2% and 4.7%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between −14.2% and 4.7%, and FY25's 4.7% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +6.0 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 PDF Solutions' profit turning into cash? Over the last 2 years, 339% of PDF Solutions, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $24.1 M of operating cash against −$640 K of profit. After $32.8 M of spending on assets, free cash was −$8.8 M: it spent more than its operations brought in. 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 PDF Solutions' cash go? PDF Solutions, Inc. 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 $62.0 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 9.4% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $62.0 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 PDF Solutions' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? PDF Solutions, Inc.'s P/E is 166.6×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 6% of the time. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 515.3×, over 3.6 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 −120.0% while the price moved +44.8%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved +15.4% a year; about +61.6% a year came from earnings growth and about −46.2 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 PDF Solutions business getting better or worse? PDF Solutions, Inc.'s business is turning around. Profit growth has swung from −108.5% at its low to +1100.0%, improving for 3 quarters in a row, with ROCE steady at 1.9%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: a turn in growth is often where a bigger change starts. The lines say a turn is forming, so the question is whether the next quarters confirm it. ## How much does PDF Solutions earn on its capital? PDF Solutions, Inc. earned a ROE of 0% in FY25. That is up from a low of −10% in FY21. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 8.4 percentage points below its cost of capital, so growth here does not yet pay for the capital it uses. It comes from a −0.3% net margin and 0.52× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a −0.3% net margin × 0.52× asset turnover × 1.54× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −0.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 4.6% − 13.0% = −8.4 percentage points. The 13.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Negative: growth at these returns loses value until returns improve. The 4.6% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at −0.9%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does PDF Solutions have too much debt? PDF Solutions, Inc. has total debt of $71.6 M against shareholder equity of $372 M as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.19× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.03 in FY21 to 0.27 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the PDF Solutions shareholding pattern? 9.6% of PDF Solutions, Inc.'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 5.4 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 PDF Solutions from balance-sheet trouble? For PDF Solutions, Inc., the Z-score is 6.18. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 6.18 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does PDF Solutions rank in its industry?
