Its Creative Cloud, Document Cloud and Adobe Experience Cloud products have been driving top-line growth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">ADBE’s strong positioning in the digital content and marketing industry, backed by its robust cloud-enabled products and growing GenAI capabilities, has been boosting its business prospects.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rising subscription revenues and solid momentum across the mobile apps are major positives. Growth in emerging markets and robust online video creation demand remain tailwinds for Adobe.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the fourth quarter of 2024, Adobe expects net new Annual Recurring Revenues in the Digital Media segment to be $550 million. Subscription revenues of Digital Experience are anticipated between $1.23 billion and $1.25 billion.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Expanding GenAI-Powered Portfolio Aids ADBE’s Prospects</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe is riding on the solid momentum in its family of creative, Gen AI models, namely Firefly. It has been used to generate 13 billion images since March 2023 and is seeing rapid adoption by leading brands and enterprises.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Its unveiling of the Firefly Image 2 Model, Firefly Vector Model and Firefly Design Model to mark a significant advancement in its creative Gen AI model family, enhancing creative control, image quality and illustrator capabilities, is a major positive.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe recently introduced the new Firefly Video model, which is a positive. With Firefly innovations and integrations, ADBE has exceeded 12 billion generations since the launch of Firefly. This is marked as an important milestone.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Enhanced AI Assistant to Boost ADBE’s Competitiveness</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe enhanced features of Acrobat AI Assistant to allow customers to ask questions, get insights, and create content from information across groups of PDFs and other document types, including <strong>Microsoft</strong> Word, PowerPoint and text files. It also introduced enhanced meeting transcript capabilities in AI Assistant.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe’s growing efforts to expand content creation in Adobe Acrobat are noteworthy. It integrated Adobe Firefly image generation into its Edit PDF workflows. It has optimized AI Assistant in Acrobat to generate content fit for presentations, emails and other forms of communication.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe also offers the Adobe Express Platform AI Assistant, which is capable of answering technical questions, automating tasks, simulating outcomes and generating audiences seamlessly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The launch of Generative Remove in Adobe Lightroom, a powerful Firefly-backed tool that helps remove unwanted objects from any photo in a single click in a non-destructive manner, is a plus.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The introduction of Adobe Express for Enterprise, powered by Firefly Image Model 3, is driving the company’s momentum among various enterprises.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Strong Clientele Drives ADBE’s Growth</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">A solid portfolio and differentiated approach to AI are attracting an expanding universe of customers across Adobe’s segments.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>International Business Machines</strong> is one of the notable customers leveraging Adobe Firefly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe’s other key customer wins include Johnson & Johnson, Mayo Clinic, Home Depot, Dentsu, TD Bank, Newell Brands, <strong>Alphabet</strong>’s Google, MediaMonks, Meta Platforms, U.S. Navy, PepsiCo, Estee Lauder, Disney, RedBull, Amazon, KPMG, U.S. Treasury Department and Charles Schwab.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These factors are expected to drive top-line growth. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, Adobe projects total revenues between $5.50 billion and $5.55 billion.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe expects Digital Media revenues between $4.09 billion and $4.12 billion. The Digital Experience segment’s revenues are expected between $1.36 billion and $1.38 billion.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe expects non-GAAP earnings between $4.63 per share and $4.68 per share.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">ADBE’s 2024 Estimate Revision Trend Positive</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">For 2024, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $18.28 per share, up by a penny over the past 60 days. The figure indicates 13.75% year-over-year growth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 revenues is pegged at $21.44 billion, suggesting 10.46% growth over 2023.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The consensus mark for fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings is currently pegged at $4.66 per share, unchanged over the past 60 days. The figure suggests 9.13% year-over-year growth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The consensus mark for fourth-quarter 2024 revenues is pegged at $5.54 billion, suggesting 9.71% year-over-year growth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/chart/ADBE/price-consensus-chart?icid=chart-ADBE-price-consensus-chart">Adobe Inc. price-consensus-chart</a> | <a href="https://www.zacks.com/stock/quote/ADBE?icid=chart-ADBE-price-consensus-chart">Adobe Inc. Quote</a></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">ADBE Stock Trades at a Premium</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">However, Adobe stock is not so cheap, as the <a href="https://www.zacks.com/style-scores-education/?icid=quote-stock_overview-nav_tracking-zcom-main_menu_wrapper-style_scores">Value Score</a> of D suggests a stretched valuation at this moment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In terms of the forward 12-month Price/Sales, ADBE is trading at 9.27X, higher than the industry’s 7.86X.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Conclusion</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Adobe’s deepening GenAI focus and innovative GenAI-powered portfolio presents a compelling opportunity for investors. We believe ADBE’s strong growth prospect justifies its premium valuation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">ADBE currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which implies that investors should start accumulating the stock right now.

This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.10% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through October 7, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.</p> <p>Visit <a class="in_copy" href="/performance_disclosure">Performance Disclosure</a> for information about the performance numbers displayed above.</p> <p>Visit <a class="in_copy newwin" href="http://www.zacksdata.com">www.zacksdata.com</a> to get our data and content for your mobile app or website.</p> <p>Real time prices by BATS.
