Autodesk’s 0.88% Slide and $440M Volume See It Rank 257th as Tech Sector Uncertainty Weighs

On October 8, 2025, Autodesk (ADSK) closed with a 0.88% decline, trading with a volume of $0.44 billion, ranking 257th in market activity for the day. The stock's performance reflects broader sector dynamics amid mixed investor sentiment toward technology equities. Analysts noted limited catalysts in the near term, with focus shifting to upcoming earnings reports for clarity on enterprise software demand.

Recent developments highlight Autodesk's strategic emphasis on AI-driven design tools, which has sparked discussions about long-term growth potential. However, short-term volatility remains tied to macroeconomic uncertainty and sector-specific valuation pressures. Institutional activity showed reduced buying pressure, with short-term traders adopting a cautious stance ahead of key macroeconomic data releases.

To run this back-test rigorously I’ll need a bit more detail: 1. Market universe. • U.S. listed common stocks only (NYSE / NASDAQ / AMEX), or a different universe? 2. Weighting scheme inside the day’s 500-stock basket. • Equal weight (each position = 1/500), or volume-weighted / cap-weighted? 3. Trading frictions. • Commissions and slippage assumptions, if any. 4. Benchmark for comparison (optional). 5. Data source preference (if any). Let me know and I’ll build the daily rebalancing signals and run the back-test from 2022-01-03 through today.
