Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK) on Decifer

Decifer ranks ADSK number 180 of 270 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

• It earns strong returns on the money it puts to work, around 19% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
• Revenue is growing about 18% a year, profits grew 2% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
• It keeps a high share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
• It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
• It is not watering down its owners with new shares and it returns cash to shareholders and its own insiders have been buying.
• Our durability check found pressure on this name, which costs it a few points.
• Revenue grows 18% a year and insiders have been buying, but momentum of 7, actually 1, and no funded role keep it modest.
