UBS Maintains a 'Buy' on Autodesk (ADSK); Consistent Results Showcase Diversity

UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) price target raised from $43 to $44.

UBS analyst says, "Once again ADSK delivered a Q4 beat (12.3% rev growth vs. UBSe 10.9%, EPS $0.46 vs. our $0.45), with Suite pdts growing 26% y/y (31% for the yr) and Americas region +17% y/y posting one of the best growth quarters in 5+ years. ADSK maintained a healthy outlook on FY13 with guidance for at least 10% revenue growth and steady 200bp op mgn expansion – we think both are conservative. ADSK stock has outperformed this year up 26% YTD vs. NASDAQ Comp. +13%."

"FY13/CY12 estimates unchanged; we remain above consensus: UBSe rev $2,467M vs. Street $2,427M, for growth of 11.4% vs. guidance 10%+; EPS $2.17 is above St $2.04. We expect consensus to creep up throughout FY13."
