What believers are saying

  • Revenue is growing: August 2026 Autodesk reported $2.05 billion for Q2 fiscal 2027, up 16% year over year.
  • Maintenance software expands the portfolio: August 2026 Autodesk completed its approximately $3.6 billion acquisition of MaintainX.
  • US retirement savings get support: Autodesk's 2026 401(k) match reaches $4,500 for eligible employees contributing $6,000.

What critics are saying

  • Acquisition financing has a short maturity: August 2026 Autodesk borrowed $1 billion through a 364-day MaintainX term loan.
  • Sales staffing faces cuts: January 2026 Autodesk announced a 7% workforce reduction, concentrated in customer-facing sales teams.
  • US vacation accrual has a ceiling: Autodesk's full time nonexempt employees earn 10 hours monthly, capped at 200 hours.

What makes Autodesk unique

  • Product development shares one workspace: Fusion combines mechanical design, machining, simulation, and circuit-board layout in one cloud platform.
  • Building edits stay coordinated: Revit's parametric relationships automatically propagate component changes throughout the model and its drawings.
  • Specialist drafting uses one license: AutoCAD includes seven toolsets covering architecture, electrical, mechanical, mapping, plumbing, plants, and raster work.

Why Autodesk's $243.84 shares look unappealing: slow growth, weak CAC payback, falling cash margin

Autodesk (ADSK) shares trade at $243.84, down 1.5% over the past six months, while the S&P 500 gained 8.1%. A StockStory analysis advises avoiding the stock for three reasons. First, long-term growth disappoints. Autodesk's sales grew 14% a year over the past five years, which the analysts say falls short of standards for the software sector. Second, customer acquisition payback is poor. The period was negative this quarter, meaning sales and marketing spending outpaced revenue, which suggests a competitive market. Third, cash flow is set to weaken. Analysts expect the free cash flow margin to fall from 36.4% over the last 12 months to 32.7%. The stock trades at 5.9× forward price-to-sales. The analysts call that fair but see limited upside.

Autodesk vs Fair Isaac: faster growth, but FICO's 52.1% margin and 20x P/E stand out

Autodesk and Fair Isaac shares have fallen 24.9% and 56.4% over the past year, even as sales growth at both software companies has sped up in each of the past two years. Fair Isaac grew sales 24.1% in the twelve months to June 2026, against 17.9% for Autodesk. It also turned 52.1% of sales into operating profit, compared with 27.9% at Autodesk. Its stock trades at 20.0 times trailing earnings; Autodesk trades at 29.6 times. Autodesk has the stronger balance sheet, with $4.16 billion in cash and short-term investments against $3.71 billion of debt. Fair Isaac owes $5.6 billion against $248 million in cash. Fair Isaac fell after the Federal Housing Finance Agency said on September 28 it would simplify its mortgage pricing grid and incorporate VantageScore. The company expects to report next on or around November 11, 2026.

Autodesk shares rise 3.8% after Schneider Electric's $22.6B PTC acquisition

Autodesk shares rose 3.8% in pre-market trading after Schneider Electric announced a $22.6 billion cash acquisition of PTC, an industrial design and product lifecycle management software provider. The deal, Schneider's largest to date, valued PTC at a 42.3% premium to its previous closing price. The transaction provides a valuation benchmark for the industrial and engineering software sector where Autodesk operates. The company recently announced wider rollout of Autodesk Assistant across its Fusion product portfolio, extending AI capabilities to products including Inventor, Moldflow and Vault. Autodesk reported 16% revenue growth and 57% net income increase in its most recent quarter. The broader market saw smaller moves, with the S&P 500 up 0.1%.

Autodesk revenue hits $7.8B, but stock down 32% on AI disruption fears

Autodesk shares trade at $217, down 32% from a year ago, despite revenue reaching $7.8 billion over the past twelve months, up 17.9%. Investors worry AI tools could disrupt its software business. A three-year scenario projects the stock could reach $315, representing 45% upside, if revenue grows 15.2% annually whilst net margin eases from 21.1% to 20.0%. This assumes earnings rise about 45% and the price-to-earnings ratio holds at 27.7 times. The company guided fiscal 2027 revenue to approximately $8.32 billion. Strong construction and emerging markets performance, plus growing adoption of its Fusion design platform, support the outlook. However, margin faces pressure from the MaintainX acquisition, which adds only $60 million revenue in fiscal 2027's second half whilst operating unprofitably. Management also expects AI workloads to squeeze gross margin somewhat.

Workday vs Autodesk: Which AI-powered software stock offers better value?

Workday and Autodesk both bet on monetising customer data through AI adoption. Workday manages HR and finance records, whilst Autodesk handles design, manufacturing, and construction data. Both companies raised guidance following strong fiscal Q2 2027 results. Workday lifted its fiscal 2027 subscription revenue outlook by 0.1%, projecting 11% subscription growth for fiscal 2028, down from 13% for fiscal 2027. Autodesk raised its total revenue outlook by 1.6%, including contributions from its MaintainX acquisition. Workday reports nearly $600 million in AI product annual recurring revenue, with over 200 customers using flex credits. However, Workday trades at a price-to-EBIT multiple of 33.0, compared to Autodesk's 21.1. Autodesk's revenue grew 17.9% over the past twelve months, versus Workday's 13.3%. Its GAAP operating margin reached 27.9%, more than double Workday's 12.0%.
