↑ 0%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.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and TEL AVIV, Israel – April 6, 2016 — Twist Bioscience Corporation, a company accelerating science and innovation through rapid, high-quality DNA synthesis, today announced the acquisition of Genome Compiler Corporation, an Israeli-based company providing software for
Waters Corporation stands out among S&P 500 stocks with strong growth metrics, according to StockStory. The laboratory analysis instruments manufacturer posted 13.9% annual revenue growth over the past two years, exceeding sector averages. Waters' sales outlook projects 80.2% growth over the next 12 months, accelerating beyond its recent trend. The company develops analytical instruments, software, and consumables for liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Meanwhile, StockStory flags Autodesk and Illinois Tool Works as underwhelming. Autodesk's 14% revenue growth over five years lagged software peers, whilst high customer acquisition costs pressured profitability. Illinois Tool Works faces sluggish demand, with projected sales growth of just 3.1% and earnings per share growing only 3.1% annually over two years.
Autodesk trades at $205, with analysts projecting roughly 35% upside over three years based on revenue compounding alone, requiring no multiple expansion. The projection assumes 13% annual revenue growth — below the current 18.3% pace — and a slight margin contraction from 19.5% to 18.8%. The forecast holds the valuation multiple steady at 29.3x, pushing projected earnings from $1.5 billion to $2.2 billion. The company's construction segment, built through $1.8 billion in acquisitions five years ago, now generates nearly $600 million annually and grows above 20%. Autodesk is repeating this playbook with the pending MaintainX acquisition, expected to add over $135 million in annualised recurring revenue growing above 50%. However, remaining performance obligation growth slowed to 9%, attributed to shorter contract durations, presenting a potential drag on projections.
Adobe acquired marketing platform Semrush whilst navigating leadership changes, reporting a 26% net income margin for the quarter ended 29 May 2026. The company generated $6.6 billion in quarterly revenue, continuing steady growth from $5.4 billion in August 2024. Autodesk announced plans to acquire MaintainX and formed a strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services. The company reported a 25% net income margin for the quarter ended 30 April 2026, though quarterly revenue dipped to $1.9 billion from $2.0 billion the previous quarter. Autodesk attributed the revenue decline to a sales team reorganisation. The company raised its full-year revenue guidance to approximately $8.5 billion, up from $7.2 billion the prior year.
