On August 19, Adobe rose 3.1% in regular trading, trading at $272.28/share, with turnover of $265 million.
On the news front, Bank of America Securities raised its price target on Adobe from $190 to $220, marking a notable positive adjustment among recent investment bank views. According to FactSet, Adobe currently holds an average analyst rating of hold with a mean price target of $252.86. The upgrade comes after Morgan Stanley downgraded Adobe to Underweight in July and slashed its target to $240 from $365, citing compounding execution risks from freemium model transitions, management changes, and AI reinvestment uncertainty.
The price target raise coincides with continued strength in the AI application software sector, as market capital rotates from hardware infrastructure toward application-layer monetization. Within the Application Software sector, Salesforce.com gained 3.78%, Strategy rose 7.6%, and Circle Internet Corp. climbed 7.03% on the same day. Adobe's next earnings report is scheduled for September 10, with consensus EPS estimated at $4.86.
