What To Know: On Wednesday, Adobe reported fourth-quarter revenue of $5.61 billion, beating the $5.54 billion consensus. Adjusted earnings were $4.81 per share, above the $4.66 estimate. This marks Adobe&#8217;s eighth consecutive quarter of beating expectations. Total revenue grew 11% year-over-year, with Digital Media and Digital Experience revenues up 12% and 10%, respectively. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) rose 16% to $19.96 billion. Operating cash flow was $2.92 billion and 4.6 million shares were repurchased during the quarter according to Benzinga Pro.

First-quarter revenue guidance of $5.63 billion to $5.68 billion also missed the $5.73 billion consensus. Management pointed to lower pricing benefits, delayed monetization of generative AI solutions and foreign exchange headwinds as factors weighing on growth.

Insights From Analysts
Picking up from Thursday&#8217;s session, Jason Goepfert, the founder of SentimenTrader, said, &#8220;This will be the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s 9th consecutive session with negative breadth. That&#8217;s happened fewer than 20 times in ~70 years. On average, the S&amp;P has been -12% from its high during these streaks.&#8221;

Talking about the future of AI, BlackRock in their 2025 outlook said, &#8220;We think the AI mega force will benefit U.S. stocks more and that's why we stay overweight, particularly relative to international peers such as European stocks.&#8221;
The note added that the &#8220;key signposts&#8221; for them to change their views will include any &#8220;surge in long-term bond yields or an escalation in trade protectionism.&#8221;
The note also added that BlackRock has conviction in U.S. equities outperforming their international peers. &#8220;We recognize valuations are rich in U.S. equities but don't see them as a near-term market driver,&#8221; it added.
According to Charles Schwab&#8217;s 2025 outlook, the volatility backdrop is likely to be different from what investors got used to in 2024. &#8220;The likelihood of a similar dynamic in 2025 is low, in our opinion,&#8221; the note said.
&#8220;Starting with where we are now, though, the market is in a relatively healthy position. As shown in the chart below, the S&amp;P 500 is comfortably above its 50 and 200-day moving averages; and when its 50 DMA was above its 200 DMA historically, the average annualized gain for the index (going back to the late 1920s) was 9.2%. There is strong momentum heading into the new year.&#8221;
However, &#8220;If inflation volatility picks back up, which will become clearer after tariff and labor policy implementations, there could be more risks to stocks via bonds,&#8221; Schwab note adds.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Thursday's Pre-Market Session

Risk sentiment soured on Thursday following hotter-than-expected producer inflation data, which dampened optimism for aggressive interest rate cuts in 2025. Adding to the uncertainty, an unexpected rise in jobless claims cast doubt on the resilience <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42467265/stocks-fall-as-producer-inflation-spikes-jobless-claims-jump-what-is-happening-here">of the U.S. labor market.</a>
Major U.S. stock indices were in the red during midday trading in New York. The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.4%, retreating from its record highs reached in the previous session, while small caps underperformed as the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) dropped 1%.
The Producer Price Index surged to 3% year-over-year in November, its highest level since February 2023, outpacing both forecasts and the upwardly revised 2.6% from October. On the labor front, weekly jobless claims rose by 17,000 to 242,000, exceeding consensus estimates of 220,000.
Treasury yields ticked higher, with the 10-year benchmark yield climbing 4 basis points to 4.31%, as investors placed greater emphasis on the robust inflation reading. However, expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut at the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting remained intact, with Fed futures pricing in a 98% probability.
In currency markets, the U.S. Dollar Index, as measured by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), edged up 0.1%, while gold prices slid more than 1%.
Natural gas prices soared nearly 5%, reaching levels not seen since late October 2023, after a steep storage draw fueled buying momentum.
In cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded modestly higher, up 0.3% to $101,500, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) gained 3.1%.

RBC Capital Maintains Outperform on Adobe, Lowers Price Target to $590

Shares of Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) tanked in early trading on Thursday, despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/12/42449013/adobe-q4-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-on-strong-demand-related-to-ai-shares-slide-following-soft-guidance">upbeat fiscal fourth-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Piper Sandler On Adobe
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/586e4055351b9b00018beeab/brent-bracelin">Analyst Brent Bracelin</a> reiterated an Overweight rating, while reducing the price target from $635 to $600.
Adobe reported "solid" results for its fiscal fourth quarter, with revenues beating consensus by $81 million, Bracelin said in a note. Subscription revenues grew by 12.6% year-on-year to $5.4 billion, accelerating from 11.9% in the previous quarter and coming in higher than the average of 11.8% in the previous nine quarters, he added.
The company generated healthy non-GAAP earnings growth of 13% year-on-year for the fourth quarter and 15% for the year, the analyst stated. The stock came under pressure due to management's fiscal 2025 revenue growth guidance of 8.9%, which implies a deceleration from 10.8% in fiscal 2024, he further noted.
Oppenheimer On Adobe
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/597b3ef9c1f5580001ef5278/brian-schwartz">Analyst Brian Schwartz</a> maintained an Outperform rating, while lowering the price target from $625 to $600.
Although Adobe's fourth-quarter results were "decent," Creative Cloud's net new annualized recurring revenue grew only modestly, Schwartz said. Management's initial fiscal 2025 outlook was disappointing, he added.
"Specifically, the FY25 net new Digital Media ARR is guided slightly below what the business generated in FY22-24 per annum from less pricing benefits, continuing focus on AI user engagement over monetization growth, negative FX, and conservatism," the analyst wrote. The takeaway for investors could be that Adobe&#8217;s growth is being impacted by "increasing competition in the low-end of the market and a slow monetization path for the AI technologies," he further stated.
Goldman Sachs On Adobe
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58c6ab8db85e9300015f1ae0/kash-rangan">Analyst Kash Rangan</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $640.
Adobe's fiscal 2025 guidance reflects a deceleration in revenue growth to 9%, Rangan said. The revenue growth contribution from company's Gen AI solutions may be delayed until fiscal 2026, he added.
Gen AI presents a total addressable market of more than $4 billion, driven by higher retention, increased user spend, and new monetization strategies, the analyst stated. Adobe is on track to grow revenues "by 2x to 3x from current levels over the next few years, potentially entering the top ranks of software companies with $40bn+ of revenues," he further wrote.

KeyBanc Capital Markets On Adobe
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58777fa15064ed000173004c/jackson-ader">Analyst Jackson Ader</a> maintained an Underweight rating and price target of $450.
Adobe generated revenue growth of 11.1%, higher than consensus of 9.7%, Ader said. "Bookings saw the strongest sequential growth we have in our model, up 30.6% quarter-over-quarter to $7.427B, the largest absolute dollar figure we have in our model," he wrote.
However, management issued a disappointing outlook for 2025, with the midpoint of Digital Media revenue growth of 9.2% missing expectations and margin guidance coming in below expectations, the analyst stated. "AI monetization continues to get kicked further and further down the road," he added.
JPMorgan On Adobe
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d5296ab85e930001416e5a/mark-murphy">Analyst Mark Murphy</a> reiterated an Overweight rating and price target of $580.
Adobe's sequential revenue growth was healthy, despite Cyber Monday being excluded from its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended on Nov.29, Murphy said. The company generated solid year-on-year growth in RPO and cRPO, with sequential growth in both and healthy upside to guidance, he added.
While Adobe's fiscal 2025 disappointed markets, the consensus was set "well ahead of the implied FQ4 exit-rate," the analyst wrote. Also, after accounting for forex and model transition dynamics, the guidance implies around 10% growth on constant currency terms, he further stated.
RBC Capital Markets On Adobe
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/64da23ec2e59fb0001505ffd/matthew-swanson">Analyst Matthew Swanson</a> reaffirmed an Outperform rating and price target of $610.
Adobe delivered strong quarterly results, with Digital Media NNARR coming in at $578 million, beating consensus of $551.0 million, Swanson said. Revenue growth of 11% was better than expected, he added.
"Another highlight was RPO growth of 16% as we continue to think this is a positive metric for enterprise traction around GenAI specifically in the Experience cloud," the analyst wrote. The company's full-year revenue guidance of $23.425 billion at the midpoint fell short of consensus at $23.778 billion, but the guidance includes FX headwinds of $200 million, he further stated.
JMP Securities On Adobe
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5846fffaee7bf6000154d141/patrick-walravens">Analyst Patrick Walravens</a> maintained a Market Perform rating on the stock.
Adobe reported its quarterly results higher than expectations, with non-GAAP earnings of $4.81 per share coming in higher than the consensus of $4.67 per share, Walravens said. Adobe issued soft guidance for fiscal 2025, with total revenue of $5.63 billion to $5.68 billion coming in much lower than the consensus of $5.73 billion, he added.
Although Adobe is "very well managed by CEO Shantanu Narayen and CFO Daniel Durn," there are two main areas of risk, the analyst stated. First is Creative Cloud "growing more slowly than Canva," and second, the company's foundational models for Generative Fill, Text to Image, Generative Extend, and Generate Video face "intense pressure from rapid innovation coming out of startups and AI labs, such as OpenAI," he further wrote.
ADBE Price Action: Shares of Adobe were down 12.7% to $479.78 at the time of publication Thursday.
