This summary was created by AI, based on 48 opinions in the last 12 months.

Adobe Systems (ADBE-Q) is currently facing significant challenges amidst growing concerns surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the software industry. A widespread sentiment among experts suggests that the departure of key executives, including the CEO, has negatively affected investor confidence. The stock has experienced substantial volatility, with reports of a recent earnings miss contributing to its downward trend. Despite these concerns, many analysts acknowledge Adobe's solid financials, including its continued revenue growth and share buybacks. While some believe in the long-term viability of Adobe, especially with its ongoing integration of AI into products, others caution against potential disruption from rising low-cost alternatives.

BUY
Downside with acquisition of Figma? Subscription software. Anyone in media, advertising, or publishing has to use their products. Facing competition. Many think overpaid for Figma. Deal still needs DOJ approval. Fabulous outlook from earnings in December, company anticipates double-digit growth for many years. Perfect balance sheet. Big tech is attractive.
WAIT
They report Thursday. They laid a big egg last quarter and the market hated them overpaying for a small company. Also are fears of a slowing growth wait. Wait to buy this undervalued company, because it will probably go lower.
WAIT
Exited to lower his tech weighting. Down about 55% from highs. Lower lows and lower highs. Technicals are signaling it's not time to jump in yet. Once we get into the early cycle, and interest rates calm down, there might be an opportunity for tech.
COMMENT
valuation? Everything in tech has corrected a lot, though the PE is still rich, but fallen a lot. They remain dominant in their space. Watch tech earnings closely this week
TOP PICK
Definitely his #1 pick. One-stop shop for design, creation, marketing, and web and mobile commerce. Nice runway ahead. Bought Figma, watch it, as the next big thing will be generative design AI. And Figma is the leader. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $369.00)
COMMENT
Its stock moves have been dramatic. It's an extraordinarily important company. The valuation isn't there yet, but it's getting a lot closer. As painful as its decline has been, it is a necessary evil.
PARTIAL BUY
The downward move in Adobe was overdone, extraordinary, though software companies are in a tough spot now. You want to be in places like this, at least picking them over.
WATCH
The price was too high before, but the price has pulled back quite a bit after an acquisition. Adobe paid a high multiple for that, so she is assessing that.
COMMENT
A favourite of his, but they spend $20 billion on a company that the street valued at $10 billion last year. Wouldn't it have been chepaer to replicate their product instead? Maybe Adobe needs this acquisition to jump-start their business. The company has an historic growth rate north of 20%, though lower lately. Does this company deserve to sell at less than 19x earnings for 2023? Will you lose money a year from now on this after shares have fallen 50% from its highs? Could the market have been that wrong when Adobe hit $699 before the US Fed hiked rates? Or is Adobe still too high?
BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Obviously, a lot is riding on Thursday's report. Looking at the previous report in June, the market still punished Adobe despite a good quarter. Adjusted profit rose 11% YOY on that quarter to $3.35 per share as sales increased 14% to about $4.39 billion. Adobe's Digital Media segment, including its cloud business, rang up sales of $3.2 billion, up 15%, and ended that quarter sitting on $5 billion cash. What's not to like? Well, guidance. What the street didn't like was the company lowering full-year earnings and sales guidance from full-year profit of $13.50/share and full-year sales of $17.65 billion compared to earlier guidance of $13.70/share and $17.9 billion.

BUY
It reports next week. Has long believed in this, but they face tough comps and currency adjustments, so they could lower their guidance. It's still the long-term leader in digital transformation, so happy to own it. Trades at 24x PE which is 20% lower than historical PE and this is prices into the stock.
WAIT
Poor trend. Bucketed with the growth at any price stocks. Great business over the long run, but stock became too expensive. Getting cheaper, but still 36x earnings. No debt. He'd want the trend to turn around before getting interested.
BUY
One-stop shop, a leader. Price target of $564, a very decent runway. Research firm has it as #1 in its magic quadrant in digital commerce. (Analysts’ price target is $564.00)
SELL
He sold. A leader in its category, but it's a growth stock when the market is turning sour on the leaders of the last cycle. Underweight tech, pivoting more to value. There will be a time to come back, but not today.
BUY
He's owned this for a long time. Their products are tools that will continue to be used. He's bullish the wider economy. He's added shares.
