Analysts grow more cautious
Despite the earnings beat, recent analyst actions paint a more restrained picture for Adobe shares. TrendSpider data highlights several moves where major houses maintained cautious ratings while lowering price targets, including Jefferies, TD Cowen and Bernstein. Jefferies analyst Brent Thill kept a Hold rating and cut the price target from 290 to 230 dollars, reflecting a more muted upside scenario. TrendSpider recap of analyst moves
TD Cowen’s Derrick Wood also maintained a Hold stance while trimming his target to 245 dollars from 285 dollars, signaling concerns around margins and competitive pressures in the broader software and AI landscape. Bernstein’s Mark Moerdler still rates the stock Outperform but lowered his target from 447 to 379 dollars, suggesting that while the long-term thesis remains intact, expected valuation has adjusted downward following recent share-price moves and sector dynamics.
