Autodesk (ADSK) stock plummeted 5.08% intraday on Friday, underperforming the broader market.
The sell-off in Autodesk shares appears to be driven by several factors, including analyst price target cuts and the company's announcement of workforce reductions.
Autodesk revealed plans to cut around 1,350 jobs, or about 9% of its workforce, as part of a restructuring effort. The company aims to reallocate resources towards critical areas such as artificial intelligence and cloud initiatives. While the move is expected to streamline operations and improve profitability in the long run, it raises concerns about near-term challenges and disruptions.
