Adobe (ADBE) Shares Plunge Over 13%
On Wednesday evening, Adobe Inc. (ADBE) released its quarterly financial results:
Earnings per share: Actual = $4.81, Expected = $4.66;
Revenue: Actual = $5.61 billion, Expected = $5.54 billion.
Despite exceeding analyst expectations and showing growth compared to the previous quarter, Adobes stock opened Thursday with a bearish gap and continued to decline throughout the session, closing more than 13% lower than Wednesdays close.
The sell-off was driven by Adobes disappointing 2025 forecast, projecting slower-than-expected revenue and earnings per share growth. According to Yahoo Finance, this stems from increasing competition (from Google, OpenAI, and others) and concerns over monetising AI tools, which have already contributed to a 20% drop in Adobes stock this year.
