Autodesk reported second quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $2.05 billion, up 16% year over year and 14% on a constant currency basis. The design software company raised its full-year billings and revenue guidance to reflect higher underlying growth and contributions from its MaintainX acquisition. Chief executive Andrew Anagnost said artificial intelligence "turns connected data and context into actionable project intelligence" to help customers address capacity constraints. He emphasised Autodesk's position in combining design, manufacturing, and operations data. Chief financial officer Janesh Moorjani said the company's sales reorganisation is proceeding as expected. Full-year non-GAAP margin guidance remains unchanged, with operating leverage benefits offset by MaintainX-related dilution. The acquisition includes approximately $45 million in transaction expenses. Revenue grew across all geographic regions, with EMEA up 19% and Americas and APAC each up 14%.

Autodesk shares have fallen 23% over the past year, whilst the S&P 500 climbed. The software firm now trades at $234.97, generating 5.4% in annual free cash for every dollar invested — above the S&P 500's 4.2% median. The company reported an 18.3% revenue increase over the past year, more than double the market median of 7.8%. Its GAAP operating margin stood at 27%, significantly above the S&P 500 median of 18.4%. The market's caution stems from execution risks. Autodesk is simultaneously integrating MaintainX, its largest-ever acquisition, whilst undergoing a major sales reorganisation. Analysts report partner disruption from the internal changes, with management acknowledging expected weakness in new business performance.
