The company's fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 performance exceeded expectations with revenues growing 12% to $1.64 billion and non-GAAP operating margin reaching 37.1%.
Management expects first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues to be in the range of $1.60-$1.61 billion with non-GAAP EPS in the band of $2.14-$2.17, reflecting modest sequential growth. However, Autodesk's recently announced restructuring involving approximately 9% of its workforce (about 1,350 employees) could have created short-term disruption despite long-term benefits.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.61 billion, suggesting growth of 13.39% from the year-ago quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $2.14 per share, unchanged over the past 60 days. The figure indicates a 14.44% year-over-year rise.
In the last reported quarter, Autodesk delivered an earnings surprise of 7.51%. Markedly, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.73%.
Let us see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Consider
Autodesk is set to report its first-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings soon, following a fourth quarter that delivered solid results amid ongoing business transformation.
Several factors may influence fiscal first-quarter results. First, the ongoing optimization of Autodesk's go-to-market approach, particularly in marketing, customer success, and operations, represents both opportunity and risk. Second, macroeconomic uncertainty continues to impact customer spending decisions, potentially weighing on new business growth. Third, the company's CRO transition adds another variable to near-term performance.
On the positive side, Autodesk continues to see strong momentum in its Construction business, adding nearly 400 new logos last quarter with accelerating revenue growth. The company is also reallocating resources to prioritize cloud, platform, and AI initiatives, which could strengthen its competitive position over time.
While margin expansion remains promising (underlying non-GAAP operating margin expected to reach 39-40% for fiscal 2026), investors should weigh this against moderating top-line growth. Management has committed to providing more details about future margin expansion at an analyst day planned for the third quarter.
Given these mixed signals, investors might benefit from maintaining current positions while waiting for greater clarity on how effectively Autodesk navigates its organizational changes and executes its optimization strategy before increasing exposure to the stock.
