On June 17, Adobe fell 3.09% in regular trading, trading at $202.99/share, with turnover of $266 million. The decline extends a wave of selling pressure that began following the company's Q2 earnings release last week.
On the news front, Goldman Sachs cut Adobe's target price from $220 to $190 while maintaining a \"sell\" rating, and JPMorgan slashed its target from $420 to $340, noting that the effectiveness of Adobe's AI freemium strategy still requires time to validate. Earlier, multiple institutions including Citi, Barclays, and Evercore ISI also downgraded or cut targets post-earnings.
Although Adobe's Q2 revenue of $6.62 billion grew 13% year-over-year and EPS of $5.96 exceeded the $5.82 consensus, the stock has faced persistent pressure due to a dual executive vacuum. CFO Dan Durn officially departed on June 15 to join Marvell Technology, following CEO Shantanu Narayen's earlier announced resignation. The consecutive departures of top leadership during a critical AI transformation period have raised significant concerns over strategic continuity, with analysts noting that Adobe's freemium pivot may depress new ARR by 55%-60% in the second half.
