On July 17, Adobe rose 3.09% in regular trading, trading at $231.62/share, with turnover of $3.97 billion. The stock is rebounding as the broader software sector recovers following the digestion of IBM's disappointing preliminary Q2 results.

On July 14, IBM disclosed preliminary Q2 revenue of approximately $172 billion, falling short of the market consensus of approximately $180 billion by roughly 4%. IBM's CEO stated that some clients were shifting capital expenditures toward hardware such as servers, storage, and memory, squeezing software procurement budgets. The news triggered a broad selloff across the software sector, with Adobe accumulating losses exceeding 8% from July 14 through July 16, while peers including ServiceNow and Workday also suffered significant declines.

The current rebound reflects the sector collectively stabilizing as investors reassess the initial overreaction. Within the Application Software sector, Salesforce gained 3.34% and Intuit rose 5.32%, while AppLovin fell 2.96% and IREN dropped 9.03%, indicating continued divergence among individual names.
