<h3>Autodesk P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 366.55 in the Software industry, Autodesk Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 50.18. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744387251_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

<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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">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.

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://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Autodesk's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.13%, 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?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Shares of software companies are trading lower as global markets continue to decline following President Trump's announcement of sweeping tariffs

Over the past month, the stock decreased by 1.24%, but over the past year, it actually spiked by 5.07%.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743714023_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Autodesk P/E Against Its Peers</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. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 411.02 in the Software industry, Autodesk Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 52.33. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1743714023_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.

Autodesk Issues Statement In Response To Comments By Starboard Value; Says "Autodesk Is Delivering Strong Business And Financial Results, Positioning Us To Drive Significant Shareholder Value. Our Strategy Is Working, As Evidenced By Our Recent Performance"

Autodesk Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>) shares are in the spotlight Wednesday after activist investor Starboard Value sent a letter to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44491499/starboard-delivers-letter-to-autodesk-shareholders">Autodesk shareholders</a>. 
What Happened: Starboard sent a letter to shareholders of Autodesk Wednesday morning indicating that the company is misleading shareholders about financial targets and total shareholder returns.
&#8220;Ultimately, we believe the Company's reliance on falsehoods and obfuscation on margin progress is emblematic of the underlying problem: a complete and utter lack of proper oversight and accountability to shareholders,&#8221; the activist said Wednesday morning.
&#8220;In allowing the Company to propagate these falsehoods, the Board of Directors has unfortunately and yet again demonstrated it is not well-equipped to hold management accountable.&#8221;
Starboard announced the nomination of former Cadence Design Systems CFO Geoff Ribar, Deloitte &amp; Touche&#8217;s Christie Simons and Starboard CEO Jeff Smith to the company&#8217;s board.

Starboard took a $500 million stake in Autodesk almost a year ago and pushed for changes, urging shareholders to consider opportunities for improved corporate governance and enhanced value creation. The activist lost its bid to appoint nominees due to missed deadlines, per Reuters.
Now Starboard is arguing that Autodesk is overspending and shares have meaningfully underperformed peers over the short and long term. The activist believes board changes will help lead to value creation and improved stock performance.
&#8220;While we firmly believe Autodesk can be significantly more profitable than it is today and reach non-GAAP operating margins of 41 to 42% by FY2028, we believe it is imperative that the Company be governed by a well-functioning Board that can, and will, hold management accountable,&#8221; Starboard said.
ADSK Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/adsk">Autodesk shares</a> were up 0.08% at $273.31 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
