Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk president and CEO, commented:
We closed a solid first half of the year with a very strong second quarter as revenue, billings, earnings, and free cash flow came in ahead of expectations. ARR grew to a record $3.1 billion, driven by all parts of the business. Construction demonstrated continued strength with wins across all parts of the portfolio, and Fusion 360 – our design-to-manufacturing platform – continued to build momentum. We also made further strides in capturing opportunities within our non-paying user base. In an environment of increasing uncertainty, we believe we are well-positioned to achieve our FY23 goals.
Shares of Autodesk closed Tuesday at $150.21, with a 52-week range of $117.72 to $178.95. The consensus analyst price target is $188.73. Following the announcement, the stock was down about 8.5% at $137.50 in the after-hours session.
