Price Target

Baird Maintains Outperform on Autodesk, Raises Price Target to $345

Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller&#8216;s family office Duquesne has divested his entire stake in Broadcom, simultaneously increasing his investments in major tech companies, as revealed in a recent 13-F filing.
What Happened: According to a recent&nbsp;SEC filing, Druckenmiller, a seasoned investor, sold all his shares of&nbsp;Broadcom Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) in the fourth quarter. This move comes on the heels of his total exit from Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), a competing chipmaker, a few months prior.
In the closing months of 2024, Druckenmiller significantly reduced his tech stock portfolio, selling his entire stakes in&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>),&nbsp;Adobe Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) and&nbsp;Autodesk Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>). He also completely sold his stake in&nbsp;Starbucks Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) and his shares in insurance company&nbsp;Chubb Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CB#NYSE">CB</a>).
Despite these divestments, Druckenmiller increased his investments in several big tech companies in the same quarter, acquiring new positions in&nbsp;Alphabet Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>),&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Elon Musk&#8216;s electric vehicle manufacturer&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
Druckenmiller&#8217;s Duquesne also initiated new investments in United Airlines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NYSE">UAL</a>), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DAL#NYSE">DAL</a>), Warner Bros. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NYSE">WBD</a>), Skechers (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKX#NYSE">SKX</a>), and Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>).
The most significant holding in his Duquesne Family Office remains Natera (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTRA#NASDAQ">NTRA</a>), the clinical genetic-testing company in which they held a stake since 2022. Natera holdings account for just over 15% of the portfolio. Meanwhile, the firm increased its stake in Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEVA#NYSE">TEVA</a>) by nearly 6.3 times.

Why It Matters: Druckenmiller, who formerly managed hedge funds for George Soros, now manages his own wealth through the Duquesne Family Office, which has investments worth nearly $3.72 billion.
The billionaire investor&#8217;s latest moves follow his earlier divestments in AI stocks. During the third quarter of 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42668157/stanley-druckenmiller-dumps-streets-hottest-ai-stocks-heres-what-the-billionaire-investor-is-betting-on-next">Druckenmiller sold all of its Nvidia shares and significantly reduced its Palantir holdings</a> by 95%. This occurred despite Nvidia and Palantir experiencing significant stock surges that year, with Nvidia&#8217;s stock increasing nearly 190% and Palantir&#8217;s shares gaining over 386%. 
The current quarter&#8217;s exit from Broadcom despite the stock surging more than 100% over the past year appears as a profit booking move. Meanwhile, other additions in big tech stocks show his growing confidence in the sector.
Druckenmiller added Tesla to its portfolio which surged over 83% in the past year. However, the stock plunged more than 16% over the last month, amid declining global sales, regulatory roadblocks in China, earnings disappointment, and Musk&#8217;s increasing political involvement.

Billionaire Investor Stanley Druckenmiller Dumps Broadcom, Bets Big On Tesla, Amazon And Other Big Tech Stocks In Q4

Autodesk's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NYSE">ADSK</a>) short percent of float has fallen 11.54% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.48 million shares sold short, which is 1.15% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.94 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Autodesk Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739565922_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Autodesk has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Autodesk's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Autodesk's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.08%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

This Autodesk Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Tuesday

Mizuho analyst Siti Panigrahi upgrades Autodesk (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>) from Neutral to Outperform and raises the price target from $280 to $400.

Mizuho Upgrades Autodesk to Outperform, Raises Price Target to $400

Autodesk's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NYSE">ADSK</a>) short percent of float has fallen 4.9% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.92 million shares sold short, which is 1.36% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.11 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Autodesk Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737983711_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Autodesk has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Autodesk's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Autodesk's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.23%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In Autodesk 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

In the current market session, Autodesk Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>) share price is at $294.62, after a 1.09% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock decreased by 2.19%, but in the past year, went up by 16.61%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Autodesk P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Autodesk has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 90.37 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1737476114_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness due to a rise in yields following December jobs data.

After the recent pullback, shares of Autodesk Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>) appear more attractive, while the path for outperformance seems "cleaner" in 2025, according to Piper Sandler.
The Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/61387715a3c6b90001ec2bda/clarke-jeffries">Analyst Clarke Jeffries</a> upgraded the rating for Autodesk from Neutral to Overweight, while raising the price target from $311 to $357.
The Thesis: The share price is down 8% from the highs reached after the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings release, Jeffries said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The stock came under pressure due to the appointment of Janesh Moorjani as the CFO and uncertainty around Autodesk's performance in fiscal 2026, "compounded&#8221; by FX and the &#8220;new transaction model," he added.
Due to a new CFO coming in, the company has not yet provided new targets, the analyst stated. Autodesk needs to "concretely define new efficiency goals," he added.
Autodesk exited "the steepest part of the multi-year billings trough in FY24" and its free cash flows could grow by more than 40% this year, and the company could "deploy cash more aggressively toward capital return policies in the coming year," Jeffries further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Autodesk had risen by 1.37% to $294.80 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
