Reliable Autodesk Announces Restructuring Plan

Autodesk is a classic "stable investment," a dominant force in digital modeling across architecture, construction, engineering, operations, manufacturing, and media/entertainment. With 97% of revenue from recurring cloud software subscriptions and net retention consistently at 100-110%, it remains a reliable choice. Fiscal 2024 results were on target, with revenue up 12%, steady profit margins, and strong cash flows. This quarter, the company initiated a restructuring plan to streamline operations and integrate its "design" and "make" products into a unified, AI-driven cloud platform. As part of this shift, Autodesk announced a 9% workforce reduction, facility consolidations, and other cost-cutting measures—an unfortunate but sometimes necessary step to maintain long-term stability, often reflecting prior mismanagement. The fair value adjusts slightly to $270.
