Despite reporting better-than-expected Q3 2025 adjusted  EPS of $2.17 and revenue of $1.6 billion on Nov. 26, Autodesk shares tumbled 8.6% the following day. The company's Q4 EPS guidance of $2.10 - $2.16 only narrowly met the consensus, while revenue guidance had a midpoint barely above the forecast. Investor concerns grew over the new CFO announcement, with Morgan Stanley highlighting execution risks and lack of visibility for FY26.

For the fiscal year, which ended in January 2025, analysts expect ADSK's EPS to grow 32.7% year-over-year to $5.76. The company's earnings surprise history is promising. It beat the consensus estimates in the last four quarters.

Among the 26 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Strong Buy.” That’s based on 18 “Strong Buy” ratings, one “Moderate Buy,” and seven “Holds.”

This configuration is more bullish than three months ago, with 14 “Strong Buy” ratings on the stock.

On Feb. 4, BofA raised Autodesk's price target to $335 while maintaining a "Neutral" rating on the stock.

As of writing, ADSK is trading below the mean price target of $336.58. The Street-high price target of $400 implies a potential upside of 33.8% from the current price levels.
