The company completed the MaintainX acquisition on August 3, expanding its operations capabilities. A major enterprise deal saw a large retailer adopt Autodesk Forma and Tandem as its digital twin platform across North America.
- Guidance
- Autodesk raised its full-year billings and revenue outlook based on Q2 outperformance and stronger second-half expectations. Updated guidance now incorporates the MaintainX acquisition. Management signaled continued momentum consistent with prior quarters.
