On June 2, Autodesk declined 3.47% in regular trading, trading at $238.12/share, with trading volume of approximately $67.46 million.
On the news front, multiple Wall Street firms have collectively lowered their target prices on Autodesk: RBC Capital reduced its target from $335 to $305, Wells Fargo from $350 to $330, and Morgan Stanley had previously cut from $350 to $315 — all maintaining positive ratings. The clustered downgrades reflect a broad pullback in market valuation expectations for the company.
Additionally, Autodesk recently announced an approximately $3.6 billion all-cash acquisition of maintenance and operations software company MaintainX, planning to deploy roughly $1.6 billion in cash on hand with the remainder funded through debt financing. Market concerns over the resulting financial burden and capital structure deterioration remain unresolved. While RBC noted the deal could position Autodesk for industrial AI, the near-term leverage risks continue to weigh on sentiment.
