In a report released yesterday, Kenneth Talanian from Evercore ISI maintained a Buy rating on Autodesk, with a price target of $175. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $129.43.

“We believe this report should be viewed as mixed for ADSK given the m/m decline in the overall index with notable weather-related regional differences (see a quote from AIA Chief Economist below). As a reminder, ADSK generates a sizable portion of its business from architecture firms with ~38% of revenue coming from its Construction segment in F18.”

Wix.com Ltd (WIX)
Rosenblatt Securities analyst Mark Zgutowicz maintained a Hold rating on Wix.com Ltd yesterday and set a price target of $75. The company’s shares closed yesterday at $89.35.
Zgutowicz noted:
“We remain on the sidelines with our thesis that the model lacks business scale at pre- sent conversion levels, and Wix Code’s niche market appeal will limit anticipated con- version benefit. Further, moderating 3Q18E conversion growth, albeit modestly, q/q and y/y to (our est.) 3.5%, does not help alleviate these concerns and presents a steeper climb to a 4%+ conversion threshold necessary to mitigate mentioned scale challenges. We adjust CY19E premium subscriber growth, ARPS, and subsequently revenue growth modestly lower, as detailed below. Our DCF-based PT is reduced from $78 to $75; reiterate Neutral rating on the shares.”
According to TipRanks.com, Zgutowicz is ranked #3764 out of 4891 analysts.
The word on The Street in general, suggests a Strong Buy analyst consensus rating for Wix.com Ltd with a $114.40 average price target, implying a 28.0% upside from current levels. In a report released yesterday, J.P. Morgan also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $100 price target.
