# Autodesk Inc. (ADSK) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Technology / Software. Price $217.90, market value $45.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 28.3×** (5-yr avg 67.6×, 3-yr avg 56.6×). Autodesk Inc. trades at 28.3× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 67.6×: cheap by its own standards. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 15.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 7.14**. A PEG of 7.14 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 5.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.8×.
- **Price / book: 13.5×**. The shares trade at 13.5× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 20.4×**. Enterprise value is 20.4× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 6.2%** (5-yr avg 3.2%). Free cash flow equals 6.2% of the market value, above its five-year average of 3.2%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 3.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 91.2%**. Autodesk Inc. keeps 91.2% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 26.2%**. 26.2% of revenue is left after running the business, an exceptional level.
- **Net margin: 15.6%**. 15.6% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 36.9%**. 36.9% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 48.9%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 48.9%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 13.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces 13.2% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 17.5%** (3-yr 12.9%/yr, 5-yr 13.7%/yr). Revenue grew 17.5% over the last year, against 13.7% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 2.1%** (3-yr 11.4%/yr, 5-yr -0.8%/yr). Earnings per share rose 2.1%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 5.9%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 5.9% a year over three years, lagging earnings: check whether profits are turning into cash.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.82**. Debt is 0.82 times equity, moderate leverage.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 0.1×**. It would take 0.1 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, within the comfortable range.
