Movement Alert|Adobe Falls 3.13% in Regular Trading, Wall Street Bearish Consensus Intensifies as SaaS Sector Remains Under Pressure

Market Focus07-24 03:39

On July 23, Adobe fell 3.13% in regular trading, trading at $211.41/share, with turnover of $6.13 billion. The decline was primarily driven by a wave of bearish research reports from major investment banks and continued weakness across the SaaS sector.

Multiple Wall Street institutions have issued negative ratings on Adobe in recent weeks. Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock from Equal-Weight to Underweight, slashing its price target from $365 to $240, citing compounding execution risks from freemium model transitions, generative AI disruption threats to its Creative Cloud business, and margins approaching their peak. Bank of America assigned an Underperform rating with a $190 target, arguing AI continues to erode growth momentum with limited near-term acceleration prospects. BNP Paribas further warned that cloud giants are leveraging AI-native tools to dismantle Adobe's full-workflow competitive moat.

Simultaneously, the broader SaaS sector extended its multi-day selloff, with Salesforce declining over 3%, amplifying industry-wide selling pressure on individual names including Adobe.
