Autodesk Could Hit New All-Time High on Strong Earnings; Target Price $353

Autodesk, a leading provider of drafting and design software for the building, and infrastructure fields is expected to report its second-quarter earnings of $1.12 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of over 14% from $0.98 per share seen in the same period a year ago.

On average, the company has delivered an earnings surprise of over 9% in the last four consecutive quarters. The San Rafael, California-based company would post year-over-year revenue growth of over 15% to $1.05 billion.

For the fiscal second quarter, the company expects revenues between $1.045 billion and $1.06 million. The company expects non-GAAP earnings of $1.08-$1.14 per share.

Autodesk shares have gained over 9% so far this year. Wednesday’s better-than-expected results could help the stock hit new all-time highs.

Analyst Comments

“Upside in resellers’ Q2 performance & forward expectations increases confidence ADSK is on track to hit revenue & billings growth guides in FY22, despite a back-end loaded year. Our estimates are towards the high-end of guidance & forecast achieving a $2.4 billion FY23 FCF target. Resume coverage at a price target of $334,” noted Keith Weiss, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.

ANNUNCIO PUBBLICITARIO

“On the back of our stronger checks, our estimates are towards the high-end of FY22 guidance ranges and forecast Autodesk achieves FY23 FCF target for $2.4 billion as back-end loaded, multi-year deals in FY22 result in an outsized deferred revenue build and FCF collection in FY23. Our modified-DCF based price target of $334 applies a 28x EV/ FCF multiple to our FY26e FCF estimate, or 1.9x growth-adjusted, and discounts back at an 11% WACC. Debates on the longer-term sustainable growth, quality of FY23 FCF given multi-year deals, and higher macro sensitivity likely limit further multiple expansion near-term, leaving us equal weight. Autodesk is scheduled to report F2Q22 earnings on Wednesday, August 25th, after market close.”

Morgan Stanley gave the base target price of $334 with a high of $451 under a bull scenario and $230 under the worst-case scenario. The firm gave an “Equal-weight” rating on the multinational software corporation’s stock.
