Wall Street gives up on Adobe as it becomes poster child of AI distruption fears
Wall Street has lost confidence in Adobe, with analysts expressing heightened concerns about its ability to compete in the AI era. Oppenheimer downgraded Adobe's stock rating to 'perform,' marking the lowest consensus rating since 2013. Factors contributing to this decline include a challenging business environment, slow revenue growth, and increasing competition from AI-focused companies like OpenAI. Adobe's stock has fallen over 45% since the end of 2023, lagging behind the tech sector's performance. Other firms, including BMO and Jefferies, have also downgraded Adobe, citing competitive pressures and a lack of revenue growth from AI initiatives.
