Few large-cap software names have fallen as far, as fast, as Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE)Â over the past year. The stock has gone from a creative-software bellwether to a value puzzle, with the market pricing in AI disruption while management keeps raising guidance.

24/7 Wall St. Price Target Summary
A Year of Pain Meets a Beat-and-Raise Quarter
ADBE has fallen 44.31% year to date and 48.29% over the past year, with shares trading 28% below the 52-week high of $392.58 and just above the $190.12 low.
Yet the fundamentals remain intact. Q2 FY2026 delivered record revenue of $6.62 billion, up 13% year over year, with non-GAAP EPS of $5.96 marking the fifth consecutive beat. AI-first ARR tripled to exceed $500 million, and management raised FY2026 revenue guidance to $26.50B–$26.60B.
The selling pressure comes from elsewhere. Citi cut its price target to $228 from $264 on June 20, citing a roughly $500 million implied reduction to organic ARR as Adobe pivots toward freemium acquisition. Sector-wide AI subscription fears, the CFO transition (Dan Durn departed June 15, 2026), and CEO succession have compounded the de-rating.

The Case for $328 and Above
Bulls point to AI monetization that is accelerating, not stalling. AI-first ARR moved from a $250M target in Q3 FY2025 to $500M+ by Q2 FY2026. The CX Enterprise Coworker launch and Cannes Lions partnerships with Accenture, Omnicom, WPP, Anthropic, and Microsoft reposition Adobe as agentic infrastructure rather than disruption target.
Operating cash flow hit $2.17 billion in Q2, funding $2.111 billion in buybacks. Our bull case price target is $328.58, a 68.59% return. The Reddit thesis put it bluntly: “Wall Street thinks AI is coming for Adobe’s lunch. I think Adobe already put it behind a paywall and called it dinner.”
