Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 19% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 16, 2025
Adobe appears to be turning upward as more buyers step in and overall mood improves. Recent notes point to strong cash generation and a view that shares are priced over 20 percent too low, plus a fresh analyst upgrade adds confidence. New AI features across its design and marketing tools can lift demand. Buying on dips near the recent average price targets the high 300s in about 3 months, while risk is kept near recent lows.
Primary drivers
- Sept 15 reports: strong cash flow; stock seen over 20% undervalued
- Recent analyst upgrade lifted confidence and brought fresh attention
- Trend turning up with lots more people buying than usual
- New AI tools should draw more users and bigger customer budgets
