Key statistics

What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of ADSK's valuation, growth and risks.
ADSK trades at 32.71 times trailing earnings, which is 6.8% below the Technology sector median of 35.1. The peer comparison on this page calls that P/E broadly in line with peers. On sales, the P/S of 6.69 sits 11.9% below the sector median of 7.6. Investors should note a market value of $52.1B and trailing earnings of $7.71 per share.
Revenue rose 16.10% in the latest quarter year on year, trailing the 24.2% sector median for Technology by 8.1 percentage points. Profitability is strong: ADSK keeps 21.08% of sales as net profit and earns an operating margin of 29.23%. Its return on equity of 53.85% is above the sector median of 13.4%, and debt-to-equity stands at 1.10.
ADSK's most recent quarterly report, dated August 27, 2026, showed EPS of $3.30 versus an estimate of $3.12, a beat of 5.77%. The share price nonetheless dropped 3.67% in the first session after the release.
ADSK has topped the EPS estimate in all 8 of its recent reports, yet a beat has not reliably lifted the shares: the stock fell the next day after 4 of them. The biggest earlier reaction followed the February 26, 2026 report, when EPS beat the estimate by 7.95% and the stock rose 5.32%. Analysts expect EPS of $12.61 for this fiscal year and $14.20 for the next, with the current year showing growth of 20.9%.
ADSK's typical daily move is about 2.20%, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 1.33. The share price is 22.05% under its 52-week high of $320.00. Across the last 18 months, insiders sold $14.3M of stock and bought $2.2M. Sales can be planned ahead or made to cover taxes on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than buying does.

- Two levels matter most right now: the 52-week high at $320.00 overhead, and the 20-day EMA at $237.56 underneath the price.
- A 14-day RSI of 62.6 sits in the bullish zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- ADSK's share price fell 3.67% in the first session after the August 27, 2026 report. The stock has beaten estimates in 8 of the last 8 reports.
ADSK trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($232.75 and $234.50), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 200-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 20-day EMA at $237.56.
ADSK's next overhead level is the 52-week high at $320.00. With the RSI in the bullish band, momentum supports the current direction and is not yet stretched.
