Estate note. Heirs receive a stepped-up basis at death (§1014), eliminating built-in gain on inherited shares. Older holders who plan to bequeath rather than sell may rationally never de-concentrate.

John Walker and a group of programmers founded the company in 1982, and AutoCAD made desktop drafting ordinary. The portfolio now spans Revit for building information modeling, Fusion for product design, Maya and 3ds Max for media, and Construction Cloud for jobsite workflows. Autodesk moved from perpetual licenses to subscriptions between 2015 and 2018, a transition that suppressed reported revenue before it compounded. The San Francisco company sells into architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing, which ties results to construction and industrial capital spending.

Equity comp at Autodesk

  • RSUs use single-trigger vesting: shares become yours as each portion vests on schedule, and the value is taxed as ordinary income at that point. No IPO or acquisition is required.

If a meaningful share of your net worth sits in ADSK, concentration risk is the question. This calculator quantifies drawdown impact at 30 / 50 / 70%, and the trade-off between selling down (tax cost now) versus hedging (option premium drag), auto-filled with ADSK's option-implied volatility.

Autodesk equity questions

How much ADSK stock is too much?
There is no single threshold, but the larger the share of your net worth in one stock, the more a single bad year can set back your plans. The calculator above quantifies the drawdown impact at 30, 50, and 70 percent for your ADSK position and weighs selling down (which triggers capital-gains tax now) against hedging (which costs option premium).
Does Autodesk grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Autodesk typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
Do Autodesk RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
No. Autodesk restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
