Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 9% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 28, 2025
On July 25 Adobe showed off new AI tools in GenStudio, easing worries that rivals could hurt its business and pushing investor excitement near the top. Strong 89% profit margins and healthy cash flow back up its current price. After a 15% pull-back, the stock sits around its recent average price, a spot that has often started new climbs. We expect a steady 16% move to $430 in the next three months as more users adopt the new tools.
Primary drivers
- July 25 AI upgrade shows Adobe will earn money from the trend instead of losing out.
- More buyers than usual and rising recent average prices suggest a new uptrend.
- Investor excitement at 99 and heavy call buying before the MAX event hint at demand.
- Huge 89% profit margin and strong cash pay for share buybacks, limiting downside.
