Key risk: Execution and adoption risk for cloud, AI, and new transaction models
Autodesk is investing heavily in cloud products, platform capabilities, AI features, flexible subscriptions, and changes to how customers purchase products. If new offerings do not achieve customer acceptance, operate as expected, or generate sufficient revenue relative to their development costs, revenue, profitability, and reputation could be harmed.
