Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 16% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 16, 2025
Adobe's share price has fallen 26% since March, making it look cheaper even after the company told investors it expects higher profits next year thanks to new AI tools. Website data shows visits driven by these AI features jumped 3,300%, pointing to strong customer interest. The stock is now trading close to $356, an area where it has steadied before. If sentiment turns, a move back near $435 over the next quarter seems reasonable.
Primary drivers
- Very low momentum hints most sellers may be done, opening room for a bounce.
- Higher profit outlook shows AI upgrades are pushing users to pay for more features.
- Price is under its usual earnings multiple despite fresh growth signals.
- Visits tied to new AI tools jumped 3,300%, proving room to make more money.

ADBE: target was not reached
Lyra published ADBE on 2025-07-16 at $364.18. The thesis expected 20% growth, with a target of $437.02.
