What Went Right
  • Revenue and EPS above high end of guidance ranges.
  • Renewal rates remained strong despite sales reorganization.
  • AECO revenue up 20% YoY, driven by construction and emerging markets.
What to Watch
  • Sales reorganization is causing near-term disruption in new subscription growth.
  • Multi-year discount reduction weighing on unbilled deferred revenue growth.
  • EMEA results affected by timing of transaction model tailwind and labor law delays.
Management Guidance
  • Q2 FY2027 revenue guidance: $2,005M - $2,015M.
  • Full-year FY2027 revenue guidance raised to $8,155M - $8,215M.
  • Full-year FY2027 non-GAAP operating margin guidance ~39%, GAAP 26%-28%.
Investor Lens
The thesis remains strong. Autodesk delivered a beat-and-raise quarter with solid underlying momentum, especially in AECO and Make. The announcement of the MaintainX acquisition (largest in company history) signals a strategic expansion into the operations segment, unlocking a $40B TAM and closing the design-make-operate loop. However, the ongoing sales reorganization introduces near-term headwinds to new subscription growth, though it is expected to improve long-term efficiency. The acquisition's margin dilution is planned to be absorbed within existing margin targets, and the company maintains disciplined capital allocation.

Profitability

Balance Sheet
Free cash flow strong at $876M. Share repurchases of $448M (1.9M shares). Acquisition of MaintainX to be funded by cash and debt. Capital allocation unchanged.
Key Risks
Sales reorganization disruption expected to persist through the year, especially in EMEA. Multi-year contract discount reduction pressuring unbilled deferred revenue growth. U.S. federal cash tax payments normalize in FY2028.
Outlook

A comprehensive, bias-free framework for analyzing and ranking stocks by Financial Strength, Growth Potential, Competitive Edge, Management Quality, and Value.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
