January 31, 2025 calculation

= 18.14%

Net profit margin reflects the percentage of revenue that transforms into net income after accounting for all expenses. For Autodesk Inc, the net profit margin has demonstrated variability over the data period. Starting at 8.91% in April 2020, it showed a positive trend, reaching a peak of 33.32% in April 2021. Subsequently, the margin fluctuated but generally remained at healthy levels above 10%, indicating efficient cost management and profitability. Notably, in January 2024, the net profit margin experienced a slight decline but recovered in the following periods, surpassing 18% by October 2024. This upward trend suggests the company's ability to generate more profit per dollar of revenue, indicating potential improvements in operational efficiency and performance. However, a slight dip was observed in January 2025, which may warrant further monitoring to understand the underlying reasons behind the fluctuation.
