ADSK Frequently Asked Questions
What does Autodesk do?
Autodesk makes the design software used by architects, engineers, industrial designers, and construction professionals to create virtually everything built in the physical world. AutoCAD remains the company's most recognized product, but the more strategically important platforms are Revit for building information modeling, Fusion 360 for manufacturing design and CAD/CAM, and Autodesk Construction Cloud for project management. The company completed its transition to cloud-based subscriptions — abandoning perpetual licenses — which transformed lumpy upfront sales into recurring annual contract revenue with high renewal rates.
Is ADSK stock a good investment?
Autodesk's completed transition to subscription pricing improved revenue predictability dramatically and exposed the true earnings power of a software business with extremely high customer retention. Switching away from AutoCAD or Revit after years of workflow integration is costly enough that most customers simply renew. Free cash flow per share growth has been substantial as the revenue mix shifted to high-margin subscriptions. Valuation is premium, reflecting the quality of the recurring revenue model. The primary growth driver is expanding usage in construction project management and international markets where CAD adoption lags.
Who are Autodesk's main competitors?
Dassault Systemes (CATIA, SolidWorks) is Autodesk's strongest global competitor in manufacturing design, particularly in aerospace and automotive engineering. PTC competes in industrial CAD and product lifecycle management, with a strong position in industrial IoT. Bentley Systems focuses specifically on infrastructure engineering software — roads, bridges, utilities — where Autodesk Civil 3D also competes. Trimble competes in construction technology and geospatial workflows. In the residential architecture market, Chief Architect and smaller CAD vendors compete for professionals who find Autodesk products overpowered.
What makes ADSK stock unique?
Autodesk benefits from what may be the deepest workflow entrenchment in professional software outside of Microsoft Office — AutoCAD files have been the universal language of architecture and engineering for four decades, creating an interoperability dependency that makes the format itself a switching barrier. Even competitors' users must often export AutoCAD-compatible files for project collaboration. The Autodesk Construction Cloud platform is building a similar network effect in construction management, where project stakeholders all need the same platform to collaborate, reinforcing adoption.
Where is ADSK trading today?
ADSK last closed at $239.39, down 3.25% in the most recent trading session. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has traded between a low of $216.01 and a high of $329.09.

Keep in mind that analyst targets reflect 12-month expectations and can shift quickly after earnings reports or major company events.
How much revenue does Autodesk Inc generate?
Autodesk Inc generated $5.93B in revenue during fiscal year 2026, with $1.07B reaching the bottom line as net income. The net profit margin of 18.1% is solid for its sector.
What is the price-to-earnings ratio for ADSK?

Comparing this multiple against Technology sector peers gives better context than the broad market alone, since P/E norms vary significantly across industries.
How has ADSK performed compared to last year?
Performance varies across timeframes, reflecting shifting market conditions. Returns by timeframe: -20.39% (3M), -25.86% (6M), -12.34% (1Y), -16.51% (YTD). Comparing these figures against the S&P 500 and sector benchmarks helps determine whether ADSK is outperforming or lagging the broader market.
