ADSK

Autodesk's stock has experienced volatility in the past six months. Following its Q2 CY2026 earnings release on August 27, 2026, the company reported strong results, beating revenue and adjusted EPS estimates, but the stock declined due to cautious investor sentiment regarding near-term profitability and narrowed full-year free cash flow guidance. The $3.6 billion acquisition of MaintainX in August 2026 also contributed to investor concerns, as management indicated temporary dilution of near-term operating margins and compression of free cash flow due to associated expenses. In October 2026, Autodesk's shares gained after Schneider Electric announced its acquisition of rival PTC, suggesting that engineering design and product lifecycle software assets, including Autodesk's, might be undervalued. Additionally, insider buying activity totaling $2.2 million over the past 12 months indicated positive sentiment. Overall, the stock has been volatile, with a 52-week range from $185.50 to $320.00, and was at $212.00 on October 2, 2026, representing a 34.45% decline from October 6, 2025.
