Autodesk Shares Climb After Report Company Abandons PTC Acquisition Plans

Software giant shifts focus back to smaller, strategic acquisitions amid investor pressure and pricing concerns

Autodesk (ADSK) shares rose nearly 6% Monday after reports emerged that the company is no longer pursuing an acquisition of rival design software maker PTC (PTC). Meanwhile, shares of PTC dipped around 2% following the news.

The surge in Autodesk stock follows a Bloomberg report suggesting the company backed away from the potential deal due to pricing concerns, financial limitations, and resistance from activist investor Starboard Value. Starboard, which disclosed a stake in Autodesk earlier this year, has been pressuring the company to refine its strategy and avoid large-scale acquisitions.

In a regulatory filing, Autodesk reaffirmed its commitment to “targeted and tuck-in acquisitions,” though it did not explicitly mention PTC by name. This signals a return to smaller, strategic deals that align more closely with Autodesk’s long-term business goals and financial framework.

The speculation around a possible acquisition intensified last Thursday when news broke that Autodesk had been in discussions with advisers about a potential cash-and-stock offer for PTC. That news led to a sharp decline in Autodesk shares and a rally in PTC stock, as investors weighed the risks and rewards of such a merger.

Autodesk shares have been roughly flat year-to-date, while PTC has gained about 3%. The decision to pull back from the PTC deal appears to have restored some investor confidence in Autodesk’s disciplined acquisition approach, especially in the face of activist oversight.

As the company moves forward, investors will be watching to see how Autodesk leverages its capital for growth without overextending itself in an increasingly competitive design software market.
