Wall Street analysts rerated Autodesk, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>) after the company reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45575552/autodesk-stock-climbs-after-better-than-expected-q1-results-raised-fy26-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter results</a> after Thursday&#8217;s closing bell.
Autodesk reported quarterly earnings of&nbsp;$2.29&nbsp;per share, which beat the analyst consensus estimate of&nbsp;$2.15. Quarterly revenue of $1.63 billion beat the Street estimate of&nbsp;$1.61 billion&nbsp;and is up from revenue of&nbsp;$1.42 billion&nbsp;from the same period last year.
Autodesk expects second-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.44-$2.48, versus the $2.34 analyst estimate, and revenue of $1.72 billion-$1.73 billion, versus the $1.7 billion estimate.

The company raised its fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance from $9.34-$9.67&nbsp;to $9.50-$9.73 versus the $9.52&nbsp;estimate. Autodesk raised its fiscal revenue guidance from $6.89 billion-$6.96 billion&nbsp;to&nbsp;$6.92 billion-$7 billion, versus the $6.93 billion estimate.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Keybanc analyst Jason Celino maintained Autodesk with an Overweight and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ADSK/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $323 to $350</a>.</li>
<li>Stifel analyst Adam Borg reiterated Autodesk with a Buy and raised the price target from $310 to $350.</li>
</ul>
Keybanc: Celino noted that Autodesk reported better first-quarter revenue of $1.63 billion (15% Y/Y) versus Street&#8217;s $1.61 billion. The analyst said the higher revenue and continued cost discipline drove an operating margin of 37% (39% adjusted), ahead of Street&#8217;s 35.6%.
While Autodesk has not seen any material macro impact yet, it is being prudent and lowering its fiscal 2026 normalized constant currency (CC) billings growth outlook by 1 point to 16%-18%, with the low end contemplating new business growth to decelerate to a similar rate as the pandemic level and EBA renewal uplift rates to deteriorate, he noted.
While it also baked similar prudence into its revenue outlook, that is offset by the fiscal first-quarter outperformance and layering of first-half bookings in the second half, resulting in Autodesk maintaining its full-year normalized CC revenue growth guidance of 8%-9%, Celino said.
With the second-half normalized CC revenue outlook implying growth decelerating to 7%-8% (versus first-quarter&#8217;s organic 10%), Celino noted Autodesk&#8217;s revenue guidance is relatively conservative. Full-year reported operating margin and free cash flow guidance are moving slightly higher to 36.5%-37% and $2.1 billion-$2.2 billion, respectively, a touch better than consensus of 36.5% and $2.14 billion, to reflect the company&#8217;s ongoing cost discipline, the analyst added.
Stifel: Autodesk delivered a solid fiscal first-quarter print, with revenue, operating margin, and EPS above Borg and street expectations and Billings above Autodesk expectations, as underlying CC billings growth and revenue growth improved sequentially.
Despite the more elevated macro uncertainty, the analyst noted that Autodesk cited no change in fundamentals, with solid linearity, and Autodesk closed the second-largest deal in company history. He said that Autodesk continues to work through the transaction model along with the GTM restructuring.
While the macro remains the wildcard, Borg noted that Autodesk&#8217;s story is beginning to clean up and that this quarter demonstrated the resilience of Autodesk&#8217;s business model.
Looking ahead, the analyst stated that guidance remains conservative. He remained bullish on Autodesk&#8217;s strategy and remarked that the company has a number of drivers to sustain at least high-single-digit top-line growth and improve profitability in the coming years.
Price Action: ADSK shares traded lower by 0.08% at $294.74 at last check Friday.

Salesforce Introduces New Unlimited Per-User, Per-Month License For Users In Sales, Customer Service & Industries

Article via <a href="https://elplanteo.com/reprocann-cambios-2025/">El Planteo</a>
Argentina&#8217;s Ministry of Health has published a sweeping new regulation reshaping how patients, caregivers, non-profit organizations and researchers can access and cultivate <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">medical cannabis</a> in the country. The updated framework, enacted through Resolution 1780/2025, replaces prior rules and imposes stricter eligibility criteria and oversight mechanisms.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Is REPROCANN?</h3>
The <a href="https://elplanteo.com/como-inscribirse-en-reprocann/">REPROCANN</a> (Registro del Programa de Cannabis) is Argentina's national medical cannabis registry. Created under Law 27.350 in 2017 and expanded through various decrees and resolutions, it allows patients and authorized third parties to legally grow cannabis for therapeutic use with medical approval. REPROCANN also provides legal safeguards against criminal prosecution under Argentina's narcotics law.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Changes Introduced In 2025</h3>
1. Categories redefined
The new regulation formalizes four distinct categories:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Patients (autocultivators): Individuals cultivating cannabis for their own treatment.</li>
<li>Third-party cultivators: Trusted individuals growing for a specific patient.</li>
<li>Civil associations &amp; foundations: Nonprofits authorized to grow for multiple patients.</li>
<li>Research &amp; development projects: Institutions conducting approved scientific studies on cannabis.</li>
</ul>
2. Updated permit durations
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Patients (autocultivators): Permits valid for 3 years</li>
<li>All other categories (third parties, NGOs, researchers): Valid for 1 year</li>
</ul>
This distinction was originally introduced via Resolution 766/2023 and has now been reaffirmed. The shorter terms for non-patient entities aim to improve monitoring and patient safety.
3. Stricter oversight for non-patient cultivators
Third-party growers can only cultivate for themselves and one additional patient, must submit regular reports, provide detailed cultivation plans, and cannot have criminal records related to narcotics.
4. Higher standards for organizations
Nonprofit organizations and research institutions must:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Have clear cannabis-related objectives in their bylaws</li>
<li>Designate a Medical Director with certified cannabis training</li>
<li>Employ a Technical Cultivation Manager</li>
<li>Maintain strict patient confidentiality and traceability systems</li>
<li>Submit biannual progress and chromatographic reports</li>
</ul>
5. Mandatory physician qualifications
Doctors who prescribe cannabis under REPROCANN must now:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Be registered with Argentina's National Registry of Health Professionals (REFEPS)</li>
<li>Have formal training in cannabis medicine</li>
<li>Use digital signatures</li>
<li>Submit a new mandatory Informed Consent form (signed with each patient)</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Matters</h3>
Argentina is among the few Latin American countries with a legal homegrow system embedded in federal health policy. However, concerns over abuse, especially involving third-party growers operating outside of therapeutic bounds, have led to calls for greater control.
Also read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/25/05/45410084/legal-cannabis-10-years-later-real-data-from-the-first-country-to-do-it">Legal Cannabis, 10 Years Later: Real Data From The First Country To Do It</a>
By tightening eligibility and enhancing scientific and medical oversight, this new regulation aims to preserve patient access while preventing backdoor commercialization.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What About Existing REPROCANN Users?</h3>
Current permit holders are not immediately affected. However, all registrants must update their documentation within six months (by November 2025) to comply with the new rules, regardless of their permit's expiration date. Failure to do so will result in automatic revocation.
Note: While Argentina's cannabis exports remain limited and recreational use is still prohibited, its medical framework offers valuable insights for countries evaluating decentralized or homegrow-access models. The REPROCANN overhaul may signal a broader shift toward evidence-based cannabis policy in Latin America.

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Scotiabank Maintains Sector Perform on Lightspeed Commerce, Lowers Price Target to $10

Never say never, but it finally looks like inflation is moderating, if not abating, in 2025.
Core US inflation increased by 2.3% in April, slightly lower than the 2.4% annual rate recorded in March. That's the lowest overall inflation rate increase since February 2021, according to US government figures.
That's good news for both consumers and businesses, both of whom historically benefit from more tepid inflation rates. Life and investing are both easier when prices are stable and more predictable.
"Although it is not our expectation, it is possible that tariffs will not cause inflation to pick up," said David Seif, chief economist for developed markets at Nomura, in comments to Benzinga. "If that's the case, then we'd expect the Fed to be able to cut rates sooner than we expect."
Currently, Seif said he expects to see the next Fed interest rate cut in December 2025.
Other economic experts say evidence supports the growth of more profitable sectors during periods of lower inflation.
"Falling interest rates have historically been a tailwind for equity investors, said Robert Johnson, chairman and CEO at Economic Index Associates. 
In the book &#8220;Invest With the Fed,&#8221; Johnson and his co-authors Gerald Jensen and Luis Garcia-Feijoo found that from 1966 through 2023, the S&amp;P 500 returned 16.4% when the Fed was lowering interest rates and only 6.2% when the Fed was hiking rates. Additionally, inflation was markedly higher when the Fed was hiking versus lowering rates (4.4% versus 3.1%), so the difference in real returns to stock investors was even greater.
"The best performing sectors in a falling interest rate environment were automobiles (30.9%), apparel (27.3%), and retail (25.8%)," Johnson noted. "In addition, small stocks outperformed large stocks during falling interest rate environments. The smallest quintile of stocks returned 30.1% during falling rate environments while the largest quintile returned 15.6%."
These sectors perform better because they are primarily related to consumer discretionary expenditures. "When the stock market is doing well, people often spend more because they feel wealthier, which economists call the ‘wealth effect," Johnson added.
As Seif indicates, the economy isn't out of the woods yet, not with the tariff troubles percolating globally. But if you're looking for a short-term advantage or a head-start on an extended stock market play, here's a closer look at a handful of stocks that may benefit right away from a milder inflation rate climate.
Here are the three stocks most likely to benefit from slower inflation. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Duke Energy</h2>
Utilities have historically benefited from lower rates. "Investors could be interested in these as potential income replacements," said Hao Dang, investment strategist at Consilio Wealth Advisors. "Their businesses are also debt-funded, so lower rates could make things cheaper to run."
That's where Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>) comes in.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based utilities giant is a big energy player. It has a $90.9 market cap with bandwidth – it delivers electricity to 8.2 million consumers and provides gas to 1.6 million customers, primarily in the US Midwest and Southeast. It's also in robust growth mode with expected earnings of $1.26 per share for this quarter, translating into a 6.8% growth rate yearly. Toss a hefty 3.56 dividend yield income into the mix, and investors looking for an element of growth should take a closer look at DUK.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs</h2>
The financial sector is also worth closer examination when inflation is moderating.
"Lower rates typically lead to more deal flow, increased leverage and appetite for private equity activity," said Julia Khandoshko, CEO at Mind Money, an investment technology and financial engineering company.
Khandoshko points to one investment banking titan right now that excels in the deal generation and execution realm.
"In financials, a potential rebound in IPOs and M&amp;A this year makes Goldman Sachs particularly interesting," she noted.
Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) stock has been sluggish so far in 2025, down 9.8% in the past months, but it bounced back in the past month, with shares up 16.5%. Goldman is a signature name in the finance and banking sector and is highly likely to prosper from more robust mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings &#8211; both hallmark deals in times of tamer inflation.
Goldman has certainly been good to its investors, returning 27.75% on an annualized basis over the past five years and outperforming the stock market by 12.73% over the same time frame.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Amazon</h2>
In lower inflation periods, consumers open their pocketbooks and spend more money. In this digital age, there's no more likely place for shoppers to hit "buy" than on Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), the $2.19 trillion market cap behemoth.
The timing may be right to get in on a retail and AI stock that's down 7.15% year-to-date.
"Amazon benefits greatly from the strengths and rapid evolution of the e-commerce sector and high-margin AWS growth," Khandoshko said.
Amazon's stock may be off balance in 2025, but its financials seem squarely in place. Its gross profit of $78.7 billion is almost five times the size of its nearest competitors, and its 8.62% revenue growth more than doubles the sector average of 4.25%.
Additionally, AMZN excels in other business markets. Its cloud computing service, for example, is the largest cloud operation globally, with an approximate 30% market share. In that realm, Amazon Web Services is the crown jewel with revenues of $29.3 billion (up 17%) in the previous quarter and operating income up 22% over the same period.
Tracking a group of 67 analysts shows a $240 target price for AMZN, with a high ceiling of $305.00 per share. The low target price is $195 per share, not far off Amazon's current $200 share price.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One Note of Caution</h2>
While it appears inflation is in check, for now at least, investors should keep a close eye on key metrics like the US Consumer Price Index, the Producer Price Index and the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, all of which closely track consumer and business pricing trends.
"Although inflation has eased from its previous highs, the Federal Reserve is being careful about cutting rates," said John Murillo, chief dealing officer of B2BROKER, a global fintech solutions provider for financial institutions. "Just earlier this month, they decided to keep rates steady, which left some investors feeling let down as they were hoping for a decrease."
Murillo says the Fed has a valid reason to be cautious, as the decline in oil prices created the main disinflationary impact year-to-date. "This decline, although helpful for the U.S. economy in general, is very detrimental for low-margin oil producers — like Occidental Petroleum, Marathon Oil, Valero Energy, and other alternative oil names," he noted. "Even now, crude prices have rebounded around 9% since May 5, giving these companies a chance to recover their losses."
If the next reading of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) comes in higher than expected, that may cause the Fed to think twice about cutting interest rates. "Since crude oil is already bottoming out, a higher CPI number could push back any potential rate cuts, as policymakers need to determine if inflation is under control," Murillo added.
