American Technology Research reiterates its Buy rating and $30 price target on Autodesk (Nasdaq: ADSK) ahead of its Q3 earnings results, which are expected out Thursday, November 20, after the close.

Following Autodesk's pre-announced earnings two weeks ago, on November 7, the firm believes that "most investors understand the magnitude of the miss..." and notes that Wall Street expectations have come down sharply, suggesting that estimate resets could be "needed to make the stock work."
