“Yesterday, Autodesk management gave an upbeat set of presentations at its annual Investor Day in SF. We found management’s updates on: 1) the construction and manufacturing opportunities, 2) the product portfolio, 3) go-to-market strategies and growth drivers, 4) free cash flow generation beyond the integrations of recent acquisitions, as positives. Bottom Line: We see Autodesk well positioned with its portfolio of applications, technology vision and referenceability to gain share in a large (~$59B) Design and Make TAM. We believe there are multiple levers for the business to pull that can drive the next leg of growth (~17% ARR CAGR FY20-23 target) and FCF generation (~21% CAGR FY20-23 target), now that the subscription transition is mostly complete, which supports valuation. Reiterate Outperform.”
