Shareholders of Autodesk, Inc.
Autodesk, Inc. is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and its shareholder base consists primarily of institutional investors and public float rather than a small number of disclosed private holders. Under U.S. securities law, only investors that beneficially own more than 5% of a class of registered stock must disclose their holdings, via Schedule 13G or 13D filings with the SEC. Based on the most recent such filings, BlackRock, Inc. reported beneficial ownership of approximately 11.0% of Autodesk, Inc. common stock (23,143,830 shares) as of June 30, 2026, held in a fiduciary capacity across investment funds and accounts it manages. The Vanguard Group, Inc. reported beneficial ownership of approximately 5.52% (11,668,046 shares) as of the same date. Both holdings are reported as passive investments. No other holder currently appears in a publicly disclosed Schedule 13G/13D filing above the 5% threshold. Autodesk, Inc.’s own registry-sourced shareholder data referenced additional asset managers (including Vanguard-affiliated funds, Massachusetts Financial Services Co. and Ninety One UK Ltd) at various percentages, but these figures could not be independently corroborated against official SEC beneficial-ownership filings as of the September 2026 review date and are therefore not repeated here as verified facts.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No individual ultimate beneficial owner can be reliably identified. Autodesk, Inc.’s disclosed 5%+ holders are institutional asset managers (BlackRock, Inc. and The Vanguard Group, Inc.) holding shares in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of numerous underlying fund investors, rather than beneficial owners with control in the UBO sense.
Data availability
Major shareholders only: publicly available information covers holders that have crossed the 5% SEC disclosure threshold as of their most recent Schedule 13G/13G-A filings; Autodesk, Inc.’s complete shareholder register, including holders below that threshold, is not publicly available.

Group structure of Autodesk, Inc.
Autodesk, Inc. has no parent company; it is a publicly traded, Nasdaq-listed corporation and the ultimate parent of its consolidated corporate group.
