Activist investor Starboard Value is urging Autodesk's board to consider a change in leadership, specifically questioning whether CEO Andrew Agagnost should continue in his role. Starboard is also advocating for cost-cutting measures and has presented a plan to improve Autodesk's operating performance and financial discipline. The investor believes that Autodesk can achieve $3.4 billion in EBITDA by the calendar year 2026, with an enterprise value of $50 billion, which is less than 15 times EBITDA. Starboard's push has resulted in a pre-market increase of 1.4% in Autodesk's stock price.
