The negative values of the cash conversion cycle suggest that the company is able to convert its investments in inventory and receivables into cash relatively quickly.
In the most recent quarter, as of April 30, 2024, the cash conversion cycle stood at -91.37 days, indicating that Autodesk has improved its efficiency in converting its resources into cash compared to the previous quarter.

Looking at the trend over the past few quarters, Autodesk experienced a significant decrease in its cash conversion cycle from the beginning of 2023 to mid-2023, suggesting a period of improved working capital management. However, the cycle increased in the subsequent quarters, indicating potential challenges in maintaining this efficiency.
