What changed
Compared with the prior quarter, Autodesk reported another guidance increase while making MaintainX contributions explicit in the outlook. Management also emphasized project intelligence and AI platform integration, while noting potential margin dilution and the need to normalize sales productivity.
Guidance delta
Management raised FY27 revenue guidance to $8.295-$8.345 billion and billings guidance to $8.575-$8.65 billion, including MaintainX contributions.
Key takeaways
- Q2 revenue grew 16% year over year, or 14% in constant currency, while GAAP operating margin reached 29%.
- Free cash flow was $561 million, and the company continued its share repurchase program.
- Management highlighted project intelligence, AI automation, and convergence across design, make, and operate workflows.
- MaintainX is expected to contribute $60 million of revenue and $70 million of billings in the second half of FY27.
Management priorities
- Integrate MaintainX into enterprise accounts and expand it in Europe and AEC markets.
- Advance AI platform capabilities, including NeuralCAD and third-party model integration.
- Expand subscription bundles and industry clouds such as Fusion, Forma, and Flow.

Methodology
Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.
Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.
Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
