Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) reported its Q2 earnings on Thursday, August 28, 2025, with net income of $313 million, surpassing Wall Street expectations. The company's revenue reached $1.76 billion, also exceeding forecasts. Autodesk expects Q3 revenue to be between $1.8 billion and $1.81 billion, and full-year earnings per share (EPS) to range between $9.80 and $9.98 [1].

The company's shares have increased by 15% over the last 12 months, demonstrating investor confidence in Autodesk's performance. Analysts had projected a 14.5% year-over-year (YoY) revenue growth to $1.72 billion and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.45. Autodesk has consistently beaten Wall Street's revenue estimates, with only one miss in the past two years [2].

Peer companies in the design software segment have also reported strong Q2 results. PTC Inc. (NASDAQ: PTC) delivered a 24.2% YoY revenue growth, and Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) reported revenues up 20.2%. Both companies saw their share prices rise following their announcements [2].

Autodesk's stock has lagged the S&P 500's gain over the past month but remains favored by analysts, with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), indicating expectations for near-term outperformance [3]. The Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) model suggests that Autodesk may not beat the consensus EPS estimate, given its Earnings ESP of -2.13 and Zacks Rank of #3. Historically, Autodesk has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times over the last four quarters [3].

Investors should closely monitor Autodesk's earnings report for any surprises or management commentary on business conditions, which could impact the stock price. The company's long-term performance is predicted to be positive by the Zacks Rank system, but near-term movements will depend on the actual earnings results and other factors.
