No release on the Adobe site yet but the stock is now jumping higher after-hours.
Live coverage has ended. The full story is below.
Adobe reports after the close with consensus looking for high-single-digit revenue growth and 11% EPS growth, keeping the focus on how AI products translate to ARR and guidance. Management last quarter raised FY25 revenue/EPS targets and framed Q3 revenue at $5.875–$5.925B. This print matters for evidence that AI-first offerings (Acrobat AI Assistant, Firefly, GenStudio) are scaling beyond usage into durable ARR while Creative Cloud Pro stratification proceeds smoothly.
AI monetization run-rate
Management said AI-influenced revenue is already “in the billions” and the AI-first book is tracking ahead of the $250M FY25 exit target; look for ARR disclosure and attach to paid tiers.
Creative Cloud Pro rollout
CC Pro is positioned as the “sweet spot” for pros, rolling in on renewals by region; watch for commentary on upgrade rates and regional timelines.
Third-party models in Firefly
Support for Google/OpenAI/Black Forest Labs within Firefly could widen funnel while preserving enterprise IP safety; adoption signals matter.
DX momentum & agents
AEP + apps >40% YoY subscription growth last quarter; any update on agentic AI and GenStudio adoption informs H2 trajectory.
