Design software company Autodesk (NASDAQ:ADSK) will be reporting earnings tomorrow after market hours. Here's what to expect.
Last quarter Autodesk reported revenues of $1.41 billion, up 10.5% year on year, beating analyst revenue expectations by 1.9%. It was a mixed quarter for the company, with revenue and EPS exceeding analysts' estimates, driven by better-than-expected billings and outperformance in its Architecture, Engineering, and Construction ("AEC") division. On the other hand, its free cash flow and revenue guidance for next quarter fell short of Wall Street's projections.
