Autodesk's Drive Into Manufacturing And Construction Industries Has Potential, Says Analyst

  • BMO Capital Markets analyst Daniel Jester initiated coverage on Autodesk Inc ADSK at Market Perform rating at a price target of $224.
  • The analyst thinks ADSK's business is currently more insulated from macro volatility on its business transformation initiatives. 
  • Jester is bullish on the company's efforts to gain a share in the manufacturing industry and enter the construction sector in the design and project management stages. 
  • The analyst thinks these initiatives can drive ADSK's cross-selling opportunities, boost connected workflows and data and analytics features, and grow the third-party ecosystem.
  • However, the analyst is concerned about headwinds such as shorter duration contracts and a moderate new subscription growth pace continuing into this year.
  • For Q1 FY24, which will release tomorrow, Jester estimates revenue growth of 8.1% y/y and EPS of $1.56, with revenues slightly lower than consensus but profits marginally higher than Street estimates.
  • For FY24, the analyst expects revenues of $5.4 billion (+8% y/y) and EPS of $7.33 (almost in line with the consensus).
