Share price, revenues, EBITDA
Autodesks's success and the continuing rise in its share price lies in the fact that it has a significant market share of the computer-aided-design sector (CAD).
We currently believe that there are no viable competitors against AutoDesk and therefore believe its dominant market position will remain.

XLK versus other sectors of the SP500
XLK has enjoyed a strong performance the last years as we move further and into the digital age, something that is set to continue - benefiting the entire industry.
AutoDesk's software is set to be used for the foreseeable future, and its market penetration probably increased in emerging market economies.
We would therefore give AutoDesk a buy with a target price of 240$ until Q2 of 2020.
