Company News
Wix.com and Autodesk are trading at significant discounts as software stocks face pressure from fears of AI disruption, despite limited evidence in their financial results. Wix has fallen over 80% from its highs amid concerns that AI tools will replace website-building platforms. However, the company has developed its own AI website-building capabilities and acquired Base44, an AI mobile application builder that reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue in under a year. Revenue grew 14% year over year last quarter whilst maintaining healthy free cash flow margins. The stock trades at just six times trailing free cash flow. Autodesk, a leader in engineering and design software, has also experienced a sharp drawdown despite staying out of AI headlines. Both companies appear oversold relative to their actual business performance.
Autodesk has attracted investor attention following technical indicators suggesting a potential trend reversal, whilst Morgan Stanley reiterated its Overweight rating citing stable billings and demand visibility. The software company's improving chart momentum and analyst confidence come against a backdrop of recent financial guidance. Management projected fiscal 2027 revenue of $8.1 billion to $8.17 billion with GAAP operating margins of 26% to 28%. The company's narrative anticipates $10 billion in revenue and $2.4 billion in earnings by 2029, requiring 11.4% annual revenue growth. However, investors face risks from AI-enabled competitors advancing in generative design. The most optimistic analysts project $10.3 billion in revenue and $2.6 billion in earnings by 2029, above consensus estimates, as markets reassess Autodesk's AI monetisation potential.
Autodesk has completed its acquisition of Rhumbix, a construction technology company that captures real-time jobsite data to improve cost visibility and project decision-making. Financial terms were not disclosed. Autodesk said many construction teams lose cost control not from poor estimates, but from delayed visibility into field activity. Traditional financial systems are backward-looking, with labor and materials data appearing in reports only after work is completed. Rhumbix's platform enables field teams to capture data once and use it across multiple processes, supporting labor tracking, production monitoring, time-and-materials documentation and daily reporting. The integration aims to connect real-time field data with downstream systems, reducing fragmentation and enabling proactive rather than reactive project management. The acquisition strengthens Autodesk's effort to connect workflows across the construction lifecycle.
Autodesk shares closed at $247.44 following mixed recent performance, with a 9% gain over 30 days but a 17% decline over 90 days. The software company generates $7.2 billion in annual revenue and $1.1 billion in net income. The most popular valuation narrative suggests Autodesk is 25% undervalued, with a fair value of $331.75 per share. This view relies on accelerating adoption of cloud-based platforms like Autodesk Construction Cloud and Fusion 360, alongside the shift to subscription and SaaS models driving recurring revenue and margin improvements. However, the company trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 46.5 times, significantly above the US software industry average of 29.9 times, suggesting potential valuation risk if growth expectations moderate.
Bay Area tech companies including Meta, Autodesk, Salesforce, Workday, Google, Pinterest and Block have announced layoffs since early 2026. Industry experts attribute the cuts to overhiring in recent years, economic uncertainty, high interest rates and reduced foreign investment, rather than solely AI-driven efficiencies. Ryan Miller from Employment Boost says most laid-off workers find new roles within three to six months, though some searches extend to a year. Companies are also offering less generous severance packages. The job market has become more selective, with firms no longer hiring at previous rates. The financial impact can be severe for Bay Area residents, where California's maximum weekly unemployment benefit of $450 represents a significant drop from typical tech salaries. With benefits lasting only 26 weeks, workers should monitor company earnings reports and internal communications for warning signs.
