- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Autodesk's profitability is expected to hurt from higher spending in the near term. However, the company is well positioned to capitalize on the rapid adoption of computer-aided designing and manufacturing in both its domestic and overseas markets. We believe that higher demand for the company’s cloud-based products, mobile products and design suites will drive top-line growth over the long term. Meanwhile, estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company's Q3 earnings release. The company has positive record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. Shares have outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis." (11/12/2018)

Evercore ISI analysts commented, "We believe this report should be viewed as neutral to positive for ADSK; while the overall ABI index ticked down m/m, recent readings indicate that architecture firm billings have now increased for 5 consecutive months, and 11 months of the last year. As a reminder, ADSK generates a sizable portion of its business from architecture firms with ~42% of revenue coming from its Architecture, Engineering, and Construction segment in FY18." (3/21/2018)
