Autodesk's $0.34B Volume Slides to 338th as Sector Pressures Weigh on Stock

On September 25, 2025, Autodesk (ADSK) recorded a trading volume of $0.34 billion, ranking 338th among U.S. equities by dollar volume. The stock closed down 1.04%, underperforming broader market indices amid mixed sectoral performance.

Recent market dynamics suggest Autodesk’s decline may reflect sector-specific pressures rather than firm-specific catalysts. While no material news directly tied to the company was reported, broader technology and software indices showed uneven momentum, with some peers outpacing the S&P 500. Analysts noted that Autodesk’s valuation multiples remain elevated relative to its 12-month revenue growth projections, potentially increasing near-term volatility.

For back-test parameters, the following framework requires finalization: 1. **Universe**: Define scope as either broad U.S. equities (NYSE/NASDAQ/AMEX) or a targeted subset (e.g., Russell 3000). 2. **Ranking Convention**: Clarify whether positions are ranked by prior-day dollar volume (shares × price) with execution at next-day open, or executed immediately at close. 3. **Execution Price**: Specify use of open or close prices for entries/exits. 4. **Transaction Costs**: Confirm assumptions for slippage (e.g., fixed bps/share or zero-cost model). 5. **Rebalance Mechanics**: Determine equal-weighting frequency (daily) and holding duration (one trading day). Finalize these parameters to proceed with data collection and back-test execution.
