On August 28, Autodesk fell 3.91% in pre-market trading, trading at $259.68/share, with turnover of $148,900. The decline follows the company's after-hours earnings release, where Q3 per-share earnings guidance came in below analyst estimates despite a solid Q2 performance.

Autodesk reported Q2 adjusted earnings of $3.30 per diluted share, up from $2.62 a year earlier, surpassing the FactSet consensus estimate of $3.12. Revenue for the quarter ended July 31 reached approximately $2.046 billion, exceeding the Street estimate of $2.012 billion. The company also raised its fiscal 2027 revenue guidance to $8.295B-$8.345B, above the FactSet estimate of $8.21B. However, the Q3 EPS outlook fell short of expectations, triggering selling pressure.

Market concerns were further amplified by Autodesk's $3.6 billion acquisition of MaintainX, which investors fear may dilute organic growth and compress operating margins in the near term. Analysts broadly maintain a Buy rating with a mean price target of approximately $315.
