EVP/COO Blum sells 22,420 shares of ADSK for $7,258,475.52 in 4 separate transactions at $322.51–$325.03

Steven M Blum, EVP and Chief Operating Officer, executed 4 separate sales totaling 22,420 shares for $7,258,475.52 on 2025-09-05, reducing his holdings from 35,519 shares to 13,099 shares (a -63.1% reduction in stake). The sales occurred at prices ranging from $322.51 to $325.03, with a blended average of $323.75, near the current price of $325.19. His prior three sales at ADSK all returned positively over 90 days (ranging +7.6% to +14.6%), indicating these historical exits proved poorly timed — the stock continued rising after each sale. The current timing arrives as the stock sits -0.5% from its 52-week high of $326.79 and has gained 11.9% over the last 30 days, suggesting a sale near a peak. This material reduction of executive equity stake warrants investor attention to understand whether it reflects portfolio rebalancing or signals management's near-term outlook on valuation.

Blum (COO) sold 17,344 ADSK shares at $270.00 on 2024-08-30; reduces holdings 50.4% to 17,099 shares post-transaction.

Blum Steven M, EVP and Chief Operating Officer, executed a substantial sale of 17,344 shares at $270.00 on 2024-08-30, reducing his holdings by 50.4% to 17,099 shares remaining. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $266.68, within 3.3% of the high, at a time when the stock was up +11.4% over 30 days and +19.2% over 90 days. Reviewing Blum's prior trades at ADSK, a sale on 2024-07-11 resulted in a 30-day decline of -3.8%, though the second prior sale on 2024-06-14 captured a +12.0% 30-day gain; neither outcome is yet measurable at the 90-day horizon. The material reduction in executive holdings warrants monitoring for shifts in confidence, though no scheduling flags are present in the filing to clarify whether this sale was discretionary or part of a pre-established trading plan.

Autodesk COO Blum sold 19,693 shares at $250.00 (July 2024), reducing stake by -36.4% to 34,443 shares post-transaction.

Blum, the Chief Operating Officer of Autodesk, executed a substantial open-market sale of 19,693 shares at $250.00 on 2024-07-11, reducing his holdings from 54,136 shares to 34,443 shares—a -36.4% reduction in position size. This followed a prior sale at the same ticker on 2024-06-14, indicating a pattern of recent liquidation activity. While the stock has appreciated 17.6% over the trailing 30 days and currently trades at $248.77 (near the sale price), the company's elevated valuation at P/E 53.85 against 9.8% annual revenue growth merits attention. The scale of the position reduction—disposing of over one-third of his holdings in consecutive months—represents a material shift in his Autodesk exposure.
