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.

A protective put caps your downside on the ADSK position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current ADSK option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.

Autodesk equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge ADSK stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and ADSK's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current ADSK option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- 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.
