Market Sentiment Analysis

Futures suggest more volatility ahead after US President Trump announced a trade deal with Japan and tariffs of 15%.

Autodesk is a multinational software company best known for AutoCAD, a computer-aided design software used by architects, engineers, and designers to design and construct models of buildings and structures.

So, why am I bearish on ADSK despite its most recent bounce?

Autodesk shares remain overvalued, and the economic uncertainty casts a long shadow. ADSK has decent long-term potential, but the current environment suggests a correction. The rumored PTC acquisition, which Autodesk ruled out, might be the first sign of more troubles ahead. The price-to-book ratio confirms excessive valuations, and the current share price reflects all medium-term positive catalysts.

The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 64.26 makes ADSK an expensive stock. By comparison, the P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 is 41.26.

The average analyst price target for ADSK is 339.54. It suggests good upside potential, but I don't see the share price reaching it. Also, the risk of downgrades persists.
