ADBE: Bull or Bear?

Look for Adobe's shares to rise one step ahead of the recovery ADBE

+7.26% in 36 days Filed under: Adobe Systems (ADBE), Stocks to Buy Adobe Systems is on-pace to post at least a 10-12% revenue decline in FY2009 (perhaps worse), but consistent with the dominant narrative in institutional investor circles, the Street is looking right past that to a likely, substantial increase in FY2010 revenue, not including the Omniture (NASDAQ: OMTR) acquisition, pending/subject to approvals. And that's why I'm Reiterating my Buy rating for Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), first recommended on June 9, 2009 at a price of $29.77. If you bought ADBE then, you're up about 8%.<><>Continue reading <>Look for Adob... Continue reading »

Investors know there's more to Adobe than the Acrobat Reader ADBE

+9.85% in 115 days (closed on 10/02/09) Filed under: Adobe Systems (ADBE), Stocks to Buy Investor attitude toward Adobes System's (NASDAQ: ADBE) shares resemble Wall Street's attitude toward crude oil: choppy current demand conditions, but who cares? What counts is what's likely to happen six to nine months out. And for that reason, ADBE is worth a review. In general, analysts expect Adobe's 2009 revenue to fall roughly 15-20%, on soft Creative Solutions unit sales. Sales of Creative Suite 4 are running about 20% below CS3, primarily due to the recession. In particular, the recession in advertising has sapped any momentum for the f... Continue reading »

Adobe (ADBE): PDF profits ADBE

+32.13% in 185 days Filed under: Newsletters, Adobe Systems (ADBE), Stocks to Buy "Software giant Adobe Systems (NASDAQ: ADBE) has joined our model Growth Portfolio," says Stephen Leeb. Here's his assessment of the tech firm in The Complete Investor. "When it comes to investing in tech, perhaps the most difficult task is to find one with a bona fide franchise, i.e., an ironclad grip on its market that keeps it largely immune to competition. <>"Adobe -- also known as 'the PDF company' -- fits the bill. As most computer users know, PDF files are ones that you can read but can't change in any way-the content is contro... Continue reading »

Bullish on ADBE ... ADBE

62%

+58.09% in 228 days Adobe Systems Inc. (NasdaqGS: ADBE) = Strong Buy ADBE shot up over 11% yesterday after beating earnings expectations and reiterating its previous Q2 guidance. The message from the chart below is that the stock has much more upside. Dating back to the late 1990s, ADBE's stock (adjusted for dividends and splits) has been correlated with the 12-month rate-of-change of consumer prices for software. However, since last September ADBE's stock price has diverged from overall software prices, a trend that we expect will reverse in coming quarters. Despite the recession, software prices are ...

Adobe... especially these days.. ADBE

47%

-16.99% in 499 days I bought some ADBE on April 28th and though the market has slid some more since then, I'm up 11% on this holding. This is proof that there is no alternative to value investing. Adobe is a jewel of a company. 3 strong product lines, great management and continuous great product launches. So when the market turn bad, investors fly to companies they can trust and that's why Adobe is actually on the rise. This companies numbers are sweet: A 30% operating margin, quarterly earning growing 40%, lots of cash, no debt, no competition - just an ever growing demand for graphic software fo...

Skeptical ADBE

N/A

-15.12% in 533 days There is a lot of potential in ADBE that's clear... they are a leader in many markets but there hasn't been much new AND useful stuff from them. Their Photoshop is still industry standard but fact is nobody I know really needs all the stuff it can do and competition is becoming better, many people already dropped in in favor of simpler programs which suit their needs. Their DreamWeaver is a piece of crap... I've yet to meet any intelligent person who finds it useful, sadly there's no competition - SO FAR. The comment applies both to experienced techies like myself and naive users... ... Continue reading »

-21.99% in 888 days The stock has been moving in a trading range during the past 2 months. Yesterday's session printed a tentative breakout to the upside of the range with an up gap. The candle printed does not look bullish. An option could be to trade the continuation of the trading range fading the breakout. The risk is limited although you would go against the general market trend. Continue reading »
