- Keybanc analyst Jason Celino maintained Autodesk, Inc ADSK with an Overweight and lowered the price target from $264 to $237.
- Autodesk missed 3Q results and lowered 4Q guidance to reflect various reasons, including FX, European macro, and potentially faster transition to annual billing.
- As expected, the Company provided "breadcrumbs" for FY24 commentary by highlighting growth, margins, and FCF headwinds.
- The analyst cut FY24 estimates and price target. However, Celino saw some consolation in growth prospects like FX and a buyback boost to $5 billion.
- Rosenblatt analyst Blair Abernethy reiterated a Buy and reduced the price target from $270 to $235.
- Autodesk reported Q3 results that were just below his revenue expectations.
- Abernethy marginally trimmed his FY23 forecast, cut his FY24 revenue growth outlook as forex headwinds, and slightly decelerated new business demand in EMEA and APAC took effect.
- The analyst expects the stock to be under pressure in the near term.
- RBC Capital analyst Matthew Hedberg reaffirmed an Outperform and cut the price target from $260 to $225.
- Hedberg writes the initial FY24 FCF guide next quarter could be closer to $1.2 billion versus consensus at $1.5 billion as FY24 billings growth likely declines due to fewer multi-year contracts.
- Hedberg likes the long-term opportunity for predictable growth and margin improvement.
- Piper Sandler analyst Clarke Jeffries maintained an Overweight and $242 price target.
- Jeffries said he was a buyer of ADSK shares after the Q3 results. The weakness in shares was due to elevated expectations and the optics around a $125 million reduction to FY23 Billings weakness, which is mainly due to multi-year mix rather than reduced demand.
- Jeffries reduced his FY23 & FY24 estimates on continued currency pressures.
- Price Action: ADSK shares traded lower by 6.24% at $195.84 on the last check Tuesday.
