ADSK Autodesk, Inc. - Common Stock

Autodesk (ADSK) stock has lost 22% over the past month following its recent earnings release, outstripping declines in peers such as Bentley Systems (down 16.4%) while the S&P 500 barely moved. If you own the shares, the worry now is a market-wide sell-off landing on top of that loss. So how low could Autodesk stock go if the whole market turns.

PTC (PTC) and Fair Isaac are both owned for software that customers find hard to replace. PTC sells more to manufacturers it already serves, while Fair Isaac has raised the price of its mortgage credit score. Fair Isaac stock has lost 46% in a month, while PTC stock has lost 12.5%. Which of the two is gaining the firmer grip on its customers.

Adobe (ADBE) stock now trades about 58% below its two-year high, set in December 2024. Free cash flow is the cash left after running costs and spending on equipment. At that price, Adobe's yearly free cash flow equals 11.5% of its market value. The median S&P 500 company's free cash flow equals 4.5% of its market value. A double-digit yield typically signals either a bargain or a business facing structural headwinds. For Adobe, the discount reflects a specific market worry: that prioritizing fre

Adobe’s revenue grew 12% over the last year, slower than most of its big software peers. The share price appears to assume that its growth is fading. Over the last year, the stock fell 35%, while the S&P 500 returned 17.7%. Adobe (ADBE) trades at 12.5 times its earnings, against 22.1 for the index. Management pointed to a small, fast-growing line on its fiscal Q3 2026 call. Is that going to be enough? Where could Adobe’s next real growth come from.

Autodesk (ADSK) stock has fallen 23% since late August. A $10,000 holding bought at the high is now worth about $7,700. A fall that fast pulls you toward buying, but the shares still cost more than the market on earnings. The reason to buy is that past Autodesk drops this deep mostly paid off, and the business is still sound.

Investing.com -- Piper Sandler has transferred coverage of three industrial software companies with Overweight ratings, identifying them as high-quality assets positioned to withstand current market challenges. The firm notes a bifurcation in the software market between winners and losers, with these companies offering mission-critical workflows, domain expertise, and proprietary data that provide relative insulation from disruption.

Wall Street analysts are making bold moves as the third quarter closes, with major calls hitting PepsiCo, Roblox, Snowflake, and a Bitcoin infrastructure stock carrying a price target that will turn heads.

Autodesk shares have come under pressure over the past year, which puts fresh focus on a simple question for investors who care about fundamentals. Is the current valuation supported by the cash flows this software group is expected to generate. The stock has fallen 35.1% over the past 12 months, which puts the spotlight on whether that price now lines up with the cash the business can produce over time.

Autodesk (ADSK) has one fast-growing business in an industry that still uses little technology. That matters because the stock has fallen. Autodesk shares lost 33% over the past year as of September 23, 2026, while the S&P 500 returned 13%. A business like that could change how investors value the whole company. So which business is it, and is there proof it is working.

Earnings results often indicate what direction a company will take in the months ahead. With Q2 behind us, let’s have a look at Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) and its peers.

Adobe (ADBE) stock has fallen about 18% from its August 31 high, and the question is whether to buy. Its own trading history warrants caution: after past sharp drops, the stock was higher a year later only half the time. And Adobe is trading some near-term recurring-revenue growth for free users, a bet management says will play out over 2027.

This software stock has the engine of a genuine turnaround, but after a recent pullback, investors must decide if the ticket price already accounts for the entire trip.

Adobe (ADBE) trades at about $238 a share. Options that expire in about a year, 361 days out, imply an expected trading range running from $152 to $373 under standard lognormal market-pricing assumptions. The floor sits about 36% below today's price and the ceiling about 56% above. If you own the stock, that spread is what you are carrying.

Adobe has fallen harder than its software peers while the broader market climbed, and the selling has not slowed even after quarterly results landed. The case for a bounce and the case for dead money both start with the same price chart and reach opposite conclusions.

Adobe (ADBE) stock has lost about a third of its value over the past year, while the S&P 500 (SPY) gained about 18%. It has already bounced 28% in three months. Yet near $250 it still sits about 32% below its 52-week high. At current levels, multiple expansion appears largely contingent upon Adobe's ability to monetize its rapidly expanding freemium base before core top-line growth decelerates.

Autodesk (ADSK) trades near $217, about 32% lower than a year ago. Investors fear AI tools could disrupt its software, and the shares dropped after the late-August report. Yet revenue over the past twelve months reached $7.8 billion, up 17.9%. A three-year scenario on its own numbers shows how much of that growth could reach the stock.

While strong cash flow is a key indicator of stability, it doesn’t always translate to superior returns. Some cash-heavy businesses struggle with inefficient spending, slowing demand, or weak competitive positioning.

If you own Workday (WDAY) or Autodesk (ADSK), you hold the same bet: the company that already keeps a customer's data gets paid as that customer adopts AI. Workday keeps HR and finance records, and Autodesk keeps design, manufacturing, and construction data.

Eaton (ETN) recently introduced Workbench 360, a connected digital experience that links its electrical equipment data and engineering tools with Autodesk platforms. This launch gives investors a fresh product lens on the stock’s current valuation. The latest 1-day share price return of 3.74% puts Eaton at US$424.77, while the year-to-date share price return of 29.78% and 3-year total shareholder return of 107.34% indicate momentum that has been building rather than fading. Workbench 360...

Autodesk (ADSK) stock has 23.6% of room above it before it meets a ceiling that has turned it back three times, and 5% below it before the reason to be there stops being true. In dollars: $272.34 overhead, $220.31 Wednesday, $209.29 underneath. The stock has lost about 31% over the past twelve months, so the easy read is that the business broke. Its own numbers say it did not.

Adobe (ADBE) trades near $250, down about 28% over the past year while the S&P 500 gained about 16%. Over the past three months the stock has returned about 21%. The market pays 13.9 times trailing earnings for a company that just reported record quarterly revenue. A multiple that low prices Adobe as if meaningful growth is off the table. The scenario below tests that pricing, and its answer rests on whether Adobe's free users ever start paying.

Roper's Application Software segment is powering growth with rising SaaS adoption, recurring revenue strength and GenAI innovation across key businesses.

Cadence Design Systems (CDNS) trades at 54.5 times trailing earnings. A multiple that high is a requirement rather than an opinion. The price only works if the business grows into it, and you can work out exactly how much growth it takes. The harder question is whether that calculation deserves your trust here.

Discourse has been circulating recently on AI safety, fears, and regulation, with commentary from Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang, Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) CEO Dario Amodei, and even President Trump. Autodesk (ADSK) president and CEO Andrew Anagnost sits down with Market Catalysts host Julie Hyman to share his thoughts on the importance of holding Big Tech accountable.

If you own Autodesk (ADSK) or Fair Isaac (FICO), you own the same idea: software that customers keep paying more for. Fair Isaac grows by charging more for a score it already owns. Autodesk now grows partly by buying a business it did not have. Both raised guidance, and that fork makes the two raises different kinds of news.

Adobe (ADBE) reported a record fiscal Q3 2026 and raised its fiscal 2026 revenue and earnings targets. Revenue rose 13% as reported to $6.76 billion, above the $6.70 billion the company had guided. But the key figure that did not move is the one to hold the quarter against: the fiscal 2026 target for growth in ending annualized recurring revenue, or ARR, still 10.2.

A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after shares of enterprise software and SaaS companies rallied broadly as investors rotated capital out of semiconductor and AI-hardware stocks following calls for an artificial intelligence development slowdown.

Adobe (ADBE) trades near $252, about 31% below its 52-week high, and the past week alone took 11.7% off it. Over the trailing twelve months the stock has lost 28% while the S&P 500 gained about 19%. That underperformance wasn't driven by broad market weakness. Adobe decided to stop putting an immediate paywall in front of its newest users, and that is what makes this fall hard to size.

EGHT vs. ADSK: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?

Adobe (ADBE) says its freemium creative apps now draw more than 100 million monthly active users, a base up over 70% in a year. Management chose to chase that growth rather than take the "short term relief" that pricing actions might have delivered. Over the same stretch, the shares lost 28% in the year to September 11. At 14 times net income for the four quarters through May, the stock sells for less than half its three-year average multiple of 30.8.

Synopsys has taken a beating this year while its fundamentals moved sharply in the opposite direction, and that gap between price and earnings power is exactly where our model tends to find its best setups.

Adobe keeps beating earnings and raising guidance, yet its stock has collapsed nearly 29% this year while one analyst holds a price target that implies a 55% surge. Something in the market's reaction does not add up, and the answer reveals a high-stakes bet on whether Adobe's AI strategy is a trap or a springboard.

Autodesk (ADSK) shares fell 16.6% in the eight days from their Sep 1 close to Wednesday, Sep 9, ending at $206.62 while the S&P 500 gained 0.1%. The drop came less than two weeks after the software company reported revenue and earnings per share above the top of its guidance and raised its full-year outlook for billings and revenue. For a shareholder, the live question is what Autodesk's growth looks like without a one-time boost to fiscal 2027 revenue.

Autodesk has notably underperformed the Dow over the past year, but analysts are highly optimistic about the stock’s prospects.

Both software players are riding the AI wave, but PTC offers a clearer forward path with stronger growth and profitability, while Oracle asks investors to fund a massive, costly buildout.

The design software giant is betting on a new strategy, and its stock history offers a strong blueprint for buying on weakness.

Adobe (ADBE) has lost 18% over the past twelve months while the S&P 500 returned 21%. The underlying driver is strategic: Adobe is intentionally directing more top-of-funnel users toward freemium experiences rather than upfront paywalls, and it is managing that transition alongside leadership changes, with an interim CFO in place and Anil Chakravarthy set to succeed Shantanu Narayen as CEO on December 1, 2026.

Synopsys powers nearly every advanced chip on the planet, yet its stock has cratered while the broader market surged, and Wall Street analysts are betting that gap closes in a hurry.

The options market is pricing a sizable year-long swing for the software giant, and if you hold the shares, you are already exposed to the full ride.

Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK)’s core business is growing at a healthy pace, profitability is improving, and management is confident about the long-term outlook. These are some of the factors that prompted Berenberg to reiterate a Buy rating on the stock on September 1, even as it trimmed its price target to $333 from $335. The positive stance […]

Imagine two very different futures for your Autodesk (ADSK) stock a year from now. In one, it’s trading near $165. In the other, it’s pushing past $402.44. The options market isn’t picking a winner; it’s telling you that both are plausible destinations. For a shareholder, that’s not a theoretical exercise. It’s the risk you already own.

Synopsys just posted explosive revenue growth that dwarfs its closest EDA rival, yet the market prices it at a fraction of that rival's multiple. Something in that gap tells a story most investors are missing.

The consensus price target hints at a 25.3% upside potential for Autodesk (ADSK). While empirical research shows that this sought-after metric is hardly effective, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions could mean that the stock will witness an upside in the near term.

Adobe’s option-implied range runs from below anything the stock has traded at in the past year to far above its high, and that width is the real question for anyone who owns it.
