Adobe’s Growth Challenges Amid AI Innovation Wave
Adobe's stock performance continues to disappoint investors, with an 11% decline over five years and a 14% drop year-to-date. Despite beating Q2 earnings expectations, shares fell another 8% post-report, reflecting deepening skepticism about the company's ability to capitalize on generative AI trends.
The creative software giant faces a pivotal moment as its historically premium valuation erodes. Market sentiment now suggests limited upside potential, with analysts projecting sideways trading at best. Adobe's dominance in creative tools remains unchallenged, but its slow-growth perception in the face of AI disruption weighs heavily on investor confidence.
