Autodesk (ADSK) Q4 Earnings: What To Expect

3D design software company Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) will be reporting earnings this Thursday after market close. Here’s what to expect.

Autodesk beat analysts’ revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $1.85 billion, up 18% year on year. It was a very strong quarter for the company, with full-year EPS guidance exceeding analysts’ expectations and a solid beat of analysts’ EBITDA estimates.

This quarter, the market is expecting Autodesk’s revenue to grow 17% year on year, improving from the 11.6% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year.

Analysts covering the company have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Autodesk has a history of exceeding Wall Street’s expectations.

Looking at Autodesk’s peers in the design software segment, some have already reported their Q4 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Procore Technologies delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 15.6%, beating analysts’ expectations by 2.4%, and Dolby Laboratories reported a revenue decline of 2.9%, topping estimates by 4.4%. Procore Technologies traded up 9.3% following the results while Dolby Laboratories was also up 1.8%.

The euphoria surrounding Trump’s November win lit a fire under major indices, but potential tariffs have caused the market to do a 180 in 2025. Investors in design software stocks have been spared in this environment as share prices are down 20.2% on average over the last month. Autodesk is down 18.5% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $343.46 (compared to the current share price of $221).
