Autodesk also announced that it will now connect Autodesk Forma with Autodesk Docs to increase collaboration between platforms.
<h2>Autodesk Rides on Strong Portfolio</h2>
Autodesk shares have returned 9.5% in a month, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector&#39;s appreciation of 4.7%.
ADSK has outperformed the Zacks Computer &ndash; Software industry and its peers like Intuit (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/intu#NASDAQ">INTU</a>), ANSYS (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anss#NASDAQ">ANSS</a>) and Verint Systems (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vrnt#NASDAQ">VRNT</a>).
Over the same time frame, shares of ANSYS have returned 3.3%, while Intuit and Verint have declined 3.7% and 11.6%, respectively. The industry has returned break-even YTD.
Autodesk&#39;s performance is gaining from new business growth, steady subscription renewal rates, and strong competitive performance. Higher demand for its cloud-based products, mobile solutions, and design suites is expected to drive the company&#39;s revenues over the long haul.
The rapid adoption of BIM 360 products and the success of the maintenance of the subscription program bode well for the growth of the company.
<h2>ADSK Guidance Positive</h2>
For fiscal 2025, ADSK expects revenues between $6.08 billion and $6.13 billion. In fiscal 2024, Autodesk generated total revenues of $5.5 billion.
For fiscal 2025, ADSK expects its non-GAAP earnings between $8.18 per share and $8.31 per share.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Autodesk expects revenues between $1.555 billion and $1.57 billion. Non-GAAP earnings are anticipated between $2.08 per share and $2.14 per share.
<h2>Earnings Estimates Are Bright for Autodesk</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ADSK&#39;s third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $2.11 per share, up by a penny over the past 30 days, and indicates 1.93% year-over-year growth.
The consensus mark for fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $8.24 per share, unchanged in the past 30 days, and indicates 8.42% year-over-year growth.
Autodesk&#39;s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.94%.
<h2>Autodesk Shares &ndash; Is it the Right Time to Jump in?</h2>
ADSK shares are overvalued, as suggested by a Value Score of D.
In terms of the forward 12-month Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio, ADSK is trading at 45.76X, higher than the Zacks Computer &amp; Technology sector&#39;s 27.09X.
However, ADSK&#39;s growth prospects, driven by product portfolio enhancement capable of capitalizing on the rapid adoption of designing and manufacturing, justifies the premium valuation.
Autodesk currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which implies that it is the right time for investors to accumulate ADSK stock.

SNPS anticipates achieving approximately 15% revenue growth for fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2024, it expects revenues between $6.105 billion and $6.135 billion.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.13 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 4.93%.
For fiscal 2024, non-GAAP earnings are expected in the range of $13.07-$13.12 per share. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $13.12 per share, unchanged over the past 30 days.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, Synopsys expects revenues between $1.614 billion and $1.644 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 is currently pegged at 3.28 per share, up by a penny over the past 30 days.
Non-GAAP earnings are expected to be between $3.27 per share and $3.32 per share. The consensus mark for fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 revenues is pegged at $1.62 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 1.01%.
<h2>Will Acquisitions Help SNPS Stock Rebound?</h2>
Synopsys has made several acquisitions to expand its product portfolio and drive growth. Over the past five years, it acquired more than 15 companies, including Intrinsic ID and Valtrix in 2024.&nbsp;
Synopsys is in the process of acquiring ANSYS (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anss#NASDAQ">ANSS</a>), a move designed to strengthen its Silicon to Systems strategy, particularly in sectors such as automotive, aerospace and industrial.

This downturn was due to tough competition in the EDA market, where Synopsys competes with major players like Cadence Design Systems (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cdns#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Mentor Graphics.&nbsp;
Unfavorable forex and a challenging macroeconomic environment are major deterrents for investors.
<h2>Zacks Rank &amp; Valuation</h2>
Synopsys currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggesting that it may be wise to wait for a more favorable entry point in the stock.
Its Value Score of D indicates a stretched valuation at this moment.
In terms of forward Price/Earnings, SNPS is currently trading at 34.82X, higher than the broader sector&#39;s 32.33X.
<h2>A Top-Ranked Stock to Consider</h2>
Progress Software (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prgs#NASDAQ">PRGS</a>) is a better-ranked stock in the broader sector, sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
Long term earnings growth rate is currently pegged at 2%. Progress Software shares have appreciated 23.2% year to date.

SNPS Drops 20% From 52-Week High: Is the Stock Worth Buying on Dip?

Ansys's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANSS#NYSE">ANSS</a>) short percent of float has risen 8.41% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.63 million shares sold short, which is 2.45% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.01 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Ansys Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727716518_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Ansys has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Ansys's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Ansys's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.22%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Its award-winning Radar Scene Emulator is the only solution in the market to imitate realistic roadway scenarios in a lab environment. This solution was chosen by a leading U.S. auto manufacturer for testing and validation of autonomous drive systems.
Earlier this month, Keysight announced that it had achieved a milestone by successfully testing and certifying Autotalks&#39; vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication solution in its device security research lab, Riscure Security Solutions, under the Common Criteria certification program. The successful completion will likely ensure the highest security standards, marking the first time a V2X chipset with an embedded Hardware Security Module receiving such certification.
The rising demand for electronics testing equipment is poised to boost Keysight&#39;s revenues and stock performance as it capitalizes on the growing adoption of essential electronic devices.
