The period balance: money in, money out
Across the Form 4 filings submitted between Aug 29, 2025 and Jun 23, 2026, Autodesk, Inc. open-market activity adds up to 4 purchases worth $2.2M and 5 sales worth $11.4M. The net balance is $9.3M on the sell side.
Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A selling balance like Autodesk, Inc.'s is the norm in the S&P 500, where much of the pay comes as stock. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.

How to read this data
5 of the 5 sales in the table are flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan): signed months ahead and executed automatically, so they say nothing about what the insider thinks today. Autodesk's 4 open-market purchases (code P) are the rare signal: insiders are already paid in stock, so buying more means putting in their own money. The latest filing is from Jun 23, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
20 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
