>Autodesk as a company had missed it's earnings per share and even though media made up 15% of its budget
are you sure about that ? as far as i am aware the media and entertainment sector is just a tiny drop in the whole autodesk bucket. im not a finance guy so maybe i am getting the terms confused but googling some stuff it seems that total revenue for their 4th quarter of 2015 was 1.16 billion, while their media sector pulled in 46 million... media sector which includes numbers for not only maya and max but also stuff like flame and smoke.. http://blog.devoncroft.com/2015/02/27/autodesk-fy-2015-media-entertainment-revenue-declines-13-9-percent/ http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150226006454/en/Autodesk-Reports-Strong-Fourth-Quarter-Results#.VPCuEcvwsvg On Mon, Feb 20, 2017 at 4:25 PM, Tom Kleinenberg <zagan...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wasn't it to do with a bad investors' earnings briefing?
