What are Wall Street analysts saying about Adobe stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Adobe stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Adobe is riding on benefits from Magento and Marketo acquisitions and strong demand for its creative products. It has been making great efforts toward establishing its presence in cloud-related software areas such as documents and marketing. We remain optimistic about Adobe’s market position, compelling product lines, continued innovation, solid adoption of Creative Cloud and Adobe marketing cloud. Estimates have been stable lately ahead of the company’s Q2 earnings release. The company has mixed record of earnings surprises in recent quarters. However, lower end-market demand and exposure to Europe remain overhangs. High acquisition expenses do not bode well for its bottom line. Notably, the stock has underperformed the industry it belongs to over a year." (5/15/2019)
- 2. Rosenblatt Securities analysts commented, "We leave SUMMIT with more confidence in the Digital Experience business than before the event and would increase positions on any misperception of weakness from the 1Q19 results. Reiterate BUY and $280 PT." (3/29/2019)
- 3. Barclays PLC analysts commented, "We respond to each below, and remember that FY19 ARR is going up by $30M organically and we still see a favorable setup on FY20 margins as M&A impact dissipates. PT unchanged." (3/18/2019)
