Software and solutions provider Adobe (ADBE) is under scrutiny amid a selloff in software stocks driven by fears over artificial intelligence (AI). Following the latest quarterly earnings, analysts at Citigroup maintained a “Neutral” rating but lowered the price target from $315 to $278, reflecting a change in market perspectives.
While Citi analyst Tyler Radke noted Adobe’s earnings beat, the slight slowdown in annualized recurring revenue (ARR) has raised concerns among analysts. Adding to the uncertainties is the company’s CEO, Shantanu Narayen, announcing his departure once a suitable replacement is found. Argus Research analyst Joseph Bonner downgraded Adobe from “Buy” to “Hold” after the news of the CEO transition.
