What To Know: Autodesk said second-quarter revenue increased 17% year-over-year to $1.76 billion, beating analyst estimates of $1.72 billion, according to Benzinga Pro. The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.62 per share, beating estimates of $2.45 per share.

“We’re excited about the road ahead — not only because of the industry-leading AI tools and foundation models we are creating, but also because of the go-to-market, industry cloud, and platform ecosystem we’ve built over the last decade to scale AI successfully,” said Andrew Anagnost, president and CEO of Autodesk.

Autodesk noted that the SEC and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California notified the company last week that they were closing matters related to an internal investigation, which may be fueling some of the momentum in shares in after-hours trading.
