AlphaTON stock soars 200% after pioneering digital asset oncology initiative
Investing.com - KeyBanc Capital Markets maintained its Overweight rating and $350.00 price target on Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK), a $61 billion software giant with impressive 92% gross margins, ahead of the company’s fiscal second-quarter earnings report. According to InvestingPro data, analysts’ price targets range from $271 to $430.
The software company is scheduled to release its quarterly results after market close on Thursday, August 28, 2025.
KeyBanc’s analysis suggests a "more balanced view" heading into the earnings announcement, with channel checks indicating no significant signs of macroeconomic slowdown.
The firm reports that most of Autodesk’s distribution channels finished the quarter "largely in line with expectations," potentially setting up for an in-line quarterly performance and a modest increase to the company’s fiscal year 2026 revenue and free cash flow outlook.
KeyBanc notes that uncertainty around Autodesk’s long-term margin and growth framework is keeping investors "in a holding pattern" until more details emerge at the company’s analyst day later this year.
