Shares of companies within the broader tech sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness due to a rise in yields following December jobs data.

After the recent pullback, shares of Autodesk Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NASDAQ">ADSK</a>) appear more attractive, while the path for outperformance seems "cleaner" in 2025, according to Piper Sandler.
The Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/61387715a3c6b90001ec2bda/clarke-jeffries">Analyst Clarke Jeffries</a> upgraded the rating for Autodesk from Neutral to Overweight, while raising the price target from $311 to $357.
The Thesis: The share price is down 8% from the highs reached after the company's fiscal third-quarter earnings release, Jeffries said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The stock came under pressure due to the appointment of Janesh Moorjani as the CFO and uncertainty around Autodesk's performance in fiscal 2026, "compounded&#8221; by FX and the &#8220;new transaction model," he added.
Due to a new CFO coming in, the company has not yet provided new targets, the analyst stated. Autodesk needs to "concretely define new efficiency goals," he added.
Autodesk exited "the steepest part of the multi-year billings trough in FY24" and its free cash flows could grow by more than 40% this year, and the company could "deploy cash more aggressively toward capital return policies in the coming year," Jeffries further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of Autodesk had risen by 1.37% to $294.80 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Shares of stocks in the broader software sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Autodesk's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADSK#NYSE">ADSK</a>) short percent of float has risen 7.76% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 2.69 million shares sold short, which is 1.25% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.4 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Autodesk has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Autodesk's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Autodesk's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h2>Discovering Autodesk: A Closer Look</h2>
Founded in 1982, Autodesk is an application software company that serves industries in architecture, engineering, and construction; product design and manufacturing; and media and entertainment. Autodesk software enables design, modeling, and rendering needs of these industries. The company has over 4 million paid subscribers across 180 countries.
<h3>Autodesk: Financial Performance Dissected</h3>
Market Capitalization: With restricted market capitalization, the company is positioned below industry averages. This reflects a smaller scale relative to peers.
Revenue Growth: Over the 3 months period, Autodesk showcased positive performance, achieving a revenue growth rate of 4.32% as of 31 October, 2024. This reflects a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Information Technology sector.
Net Margin: Autodesk's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional net margin, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable net margin of 17.52%, the company showcases strong profitability and effective cost management.
Return on Equity (ROE): Autodesk's ROE surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 10.81% ROE, the company effectively utilizes shareholder equity capital.
Return on Assets (ROA): Autodesk's ROA is below industry averages, indicating potential challenges in efficiently utilizing assets. With an ROA of 2.74%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial returns.
Debt Management: Autodesk's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 0.99. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Within the domain of banking and financial systems, analysts specialize in reporting for specific stocks or defined sectors. Their work involves attending company conference calls and meetings, researching company financial statements, and communicating with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically assess and rate each stock once per quarter.
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.
