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 kicked off the year with about 1.42 billion dollars in revenue, fueled by broad growth in architecture, construction, and manufacturing software across every region they sell in.
- Cash Machine
The company expects to generate up to 1.5 billion dollars in free cash flow this year, with profit margins guided as high as 36 percent on a non-GAAP basis.
- Audit Overhang
An internal audit committee just wrapped a months-long investigation into how Autodesk reported cash flow and margins over the past three fiscal years, and the company is still racing to file its annual 10-K report.
- Billing Shift
Autodesk is moving big enterprise customers from multi-year upfront payments to annual billing, and that transition can make growth look bumpier even when full-year revenue is guided up 9 to 11 percent.
