About Autodesk
Autodesk makes the software behind almost everything that gets designed and built, from skyscrapers and bridges to cars, video games, and Hollywood movies. If something was drawn before it was made, there's a good chance Autodesk software helped create it.
The case for and against
Both sides of the story, in plain English.
- Strong Start
Autodesk opened the year with about 1.42 billion dollars in revenue and roughly 1 dollar and 16 cents of profit per share, with growth showing up across building design, construction, and manufacturing in every region they sell in.
- Cash Machine
The company expects to generate between 1.43 and 1.5 billion dollars in free cash flow this year, with billings guided up 12 to 15 percent. That is a lot of money coming in from software customers who renew year after year.
- Paperwork Problem
An internal review covering three fiscal years, 2022 through 2024, just wrapped up looking at how Autodesk reported its cash flow and margins. Nothing had to be restated, but the company is still working to file its annual report and just handed the finance chief job to an interim leader.
- Billing Shift
Autodesk is moving big business customers away from paying for several years upfront to paying once a year. That change can make the numbers look bumpy in the short run, even with full-year revenue guided up 9 to 11 percent.
