Adobe heads into tonight’s earnings at just 9.8x forward earnings as Wall Street continues to question whether generative AI will ultimately strengthen its business or disrupt it.
The company’s AI-first annual recurring revenue has already tripled year over year to more than $500 million, making continued growth in that business one of the biggest numbers to watch tonight.
At the same time, Adobe’s push toward freemium products could pressure near-term ARR as the company prioritizes acquiring a much larger base of AI-era users. Investors will be looking for evidence that those free users can eventually be converted into paying customers.
Prediction markets put the probability of an EPS beat at 93.5%, so simply clearing consensus may not be enough. With a new CEO framework, an interim CFO, and the first full quarter incorporating Semrush, Adobe’s outlook could be the most important part of the report tonight.
