Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) reported robust financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, ending July 31, 2025. The company's revenue grew by 17% to $1.763 billion, driven by strong performance in its Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) segment. This growth was further boosted by an 18% increase on a constant currency basis.

The company's net income for the quarter was $313 million, up from $287 million in the same period last year. Earnings per share (EPS) stood at $1.46, up from $1.30. The non-GAAP EPS was $2.62, an increase of $0.47 from the previous year.

Autodesk's CFO, Janesh Moorjani, highlighted the company's strong performance in AECO, where sustained investment in data centers, infrastructure, and industrial buildings offset softness in commercial segments. The Autodesk Store, billings linearity, and up-front revenue were also stronger than expected.

The company has raised its full-year guidance to reflect the underlying strength of the business in the first half of the year and additional foreign exchange tailwinds. The EPS guidance for the third quarter is $2.48-$2.51, with revenue guidance at $1.8-$1.81 billion. For the full year, EPS guidance is $9.80-$9.98, with revenue guidance at $7.025-$7.075 billion.

Autodesk's business outlook considers the current economic environment and foreign exchange currency rate environment. The company's free cash flow for the third quarter is expected to be $2,200-$2,275, and for the full year, it is projected to be $2,200-$2,275.

The company's stock price has been volatile in recent months, reflecting the broader market conditions and investor sentiment. However, the latest earnings report suggests a positive outlook for the company's future performance.
