UBS Reiterates Buy Rating on Autodesk with $370 Price Target

Autodesk (ADSK) received a Buy rating and $370 price target from UBS analyst Taylor McGinnis. The company's shares opened at $290.39. McGinnis has a 30.34% success rate and an average return of -15.1%. Autodesk reported Q1 revenue of $1.63 billion and a net profit of $316 million, up from $1.42 billion and $252 million in the same period last year.

Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) received a Buy rating and a $370 price target from UBS analyst Taylor McGinnis. The company's shares opened at $290.39 on July 2, 2025. McGinnis has a 30.34% success rate and an average return of -15.1% [1].

McGinnis maintained the rating despite mixed feedback on the company’s demand environment. Autodesk boasts impressive gross profit margins of 92% and is currently showing signs of being slightly undervalued based on comprehensive Fair Value analysis. The company maintains its position as a prominent player in the Software industry, with revenue growing at 12.44% over the last twelve months [1].

According to McGinnis, partner feedback was "mixed at best," with two partners citing a slowdown in deal activity, while two construction customers indicated steady IT spending growth expectations amid stable industry growth. The company noted a similar pattern of mixed feedback last quarter when Autodesk reported a solid 2-point beat to 10-11% constant currency revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, adjusted for the company’s new model [1].

UBS attributed the potential disconnect between mixed feedback and solid performance to strength in the Autodesk store and a greater contribution from price increases to fiscal 2026 growth, including larger annual price increases, renewals facing three years of increases, and pricing standardization as Autodesk moves to a direct model [1].

Despite the less encouraging feedback, UBS believes other growth drivers can support 10% constant currency adjusted revenue growth in fiscal 2026 and sees "at least 100bps upside" to fiscal 2026 EBIT margin as the year progresses.
