Autodesk has been in the limelight due to increased demands by its major investor, Starboard, which has a $500M stake in the firm, pushing for a 45% margin overhaul and commencing a proxy fight. Despite their strong Q4 2025 results and praise from numerous analysts viewing Autodesk as a 'strong buy' investment, margin concerns persist. Autodesk has initiated restructuring strategies that include cutting 9% of its staff to fuel AI investments and boost profit margins. Luring investors' attention, Autodesk has reported earnings surprisingly strong, exceeding market expectations while supporting AI and cloud investments to fuel future growth. Yet, the company has been targeted by activist hedge funds, prompting the business to apply cost cut measures. Nevertheless, the company remains ambitious in its financial performance, having their price target adjusted to $335 by BofA based on strong margins.
