[Form 4] Autodesk Inc Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Autodesk, Inc. (ADSK) – Form 4 filed 20 June 2025

Director John T. Cahill reported two equity awards dated 18 June 2025 under the company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and Director Compensation Policy.

• 406 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) were granted in lieu of cash board fees. These RSUs vest at the next annual meeting and convert 1-for-1 into common shares.
• 846 RSUs were granted as the director’s annual equity award, also vesting at the next annual meeting.

All awards were coded “A” (acquired) at $0 cost, indicating compensation‐related issuance, not open-market purchases. After the transactions, Cahill directly owns 1,743 shares (including 1,252 unvested RSUs) and indirectly holds 2,060 shares through family trusts.

No shares were sold or disposed of, and no derivatives were exercised. The filing reflects routine director compensation rather than an active investment decision, so its market impact is expected to be immaterial.

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Routine RSU grants; no sales; negligible valuation impact.

The Form 4 shows standard board compensation grants—1,252 RSUs worth roughly US$300k at today’s price—but no open-market buying or selling. Because the awards are automatic and vest only at the next annual meeting, they signal neither bullish nor bearish sentiment. Cahill’s total direct holding rises to 1,743 shares, still <0.001% of shares outstanding, so dilution is immaterial. Investors can consider this filing neutral with limited informational value for valuation or momentum models.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Filing confirms equity-based director pay compliance; neutral governance signal.

Autodesk continues to compensate non-employee directors with annual RSU grants, aligning board interests with shareholders and conserving cash. The vest-at-next-AGM structure encourages at-least-one-year service continuity. The absence of 10b5-1 plan notation suggests these are straight grants, not discretionary trades. No red flags regarding timing, size, or disclosure. Overall governance impact: neutral to mildly positive, but not material for investment theses.
