Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk president and CEO, commented:
Our strong performance continued in Q3 as revenue, billings, ARR, earnings and free cash flow came in above expectations. We continue to demonstrate the cash generating power of our business model, and this quarter drove a record last twelve months free cash flow of nearly $1 billion. The breadth and depth of our product portfolio in Construction paved the way for another strong quarter. In Manufacturing, we continue to displace competitors and grow faster than the overall market.
Shares of Autodesk were last seen up about 4% at $177.64, with a 52-week range of $117.72 to $178.95. The consensus analyst price target is $175.78.
