Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 17% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 15, 2025
Adobe’s share price has dropped 27%, bringing it back to a well-tested price range that has acted as a floor in the past. Leaders just promised profit of $20.60 a share for fiscal 2025, showing shoppers still want its software and that its new Firefly AI is starting to pay off. The big MAX product show in September usually sparks fresh interest, so the stock could climb toward $430 over the next three months. This mix of lower price, solid outlook and upcoming news creates an appealing entry point for patient investors.
Primary drivers
- Raised 2025 profit goal shows customers stick with Adobe and new AI features boost sales.
- Price sits near a multi-layer floor, and very few sellers remain, hinting the slide is almost over.
- User count for Firefly AI is doubling, adding high-profit subscription dollars to Adobe’s books.
- September MAX event often excites buyers after new products debut, lifting the shares afterward.
How it played out
ADBE: the thesis missed the target
Lyra published ADBE on July 15, 2025 at $366.99, with 15% expected growth over a short-term window. The thesis pointed to a 27% share-price drop into a prior floor, a fiscal 2025 profit outlook of $20.60 a share, Firefly artificial intelligence adoption, and the September MAX event as reasons the stock could rise.
Inside the July 15 to October 13 window, ADBE peaked at $376.16 on July 29. That was a 2.5% gain, and it stayed below the $422.04 target. The stock ended at $339.32. The published thesis did not play out.
