Micron, PDD Holdings, and Adobe trade at bargain valuations — but risks remain

Three Nasdaq-100 stocks are trading at unusually low valuations despite their market presence. Micron Technology trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 6.5, compared to the S&P 500 average of 21, though it has surged 660% over the past year. The chip maker faces cyclical market risks as memory shortages may eventually ease. PDD Holdings, owner of the Temu marketplace, trades at a forward P/E just over eight but has declined 26% amid US-China trade tensions and slowing growth. Its revenue rose 11% year-over-year in Q1 2026, down from 131% growth two years prior. Adobe has also dropped 26% over 12 months, trading at a forward P/E of nine. Concerns centre on AI competition potentially disrupting its core photo editing business, though the company posted record revenue of $6.6 billion in Q2, up 13% year-over-year.

Adobe falls to $254 support level that previously triggered average 63% gains

Adobe's stock has declined to $254, reaching a historical support level that has previously preceded significant rallies. The last five times the stock fell to this $250-280 range, it produced an average peak gain of 63%, with gains ranging from 6.3% to 158%. The company is executing a major strategic shift to a "freemium" model, expanding its user base through AI-powered tools like Firefly and Express. Creative Freemium monthly active users grew from 50 million to 90 million year-over-year, whilst Acrobat and Express users increased from over 700 million to more than 850 million. However, this pivot creates near-term headwinds. Management has lowered second-half ARR growth expectations and deferred previously planned Creative Cloud price increases. The company maintains an 11.5% revenue growth rate and 36% operating margin over the last twelve months.

Adobe vs AMD: Which tech stock offers better value in 2026?

Adobe generated nearly $23.8 billion in revenue during fiscal 2025, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 10.5%. The company reported net income of roughly $7.1 billion for the same period, resulting in a net margin of approximately 30%. Adobe dominates the creative software market with a recurring subscription model that provides predictable cash flow. In April 2026, the company acquired Semrush, integrating new capabilities to help businesses manage their online visibility and marketing workflows. As of its November 2025 balance sheet, Adobe's debt-to-equity ratio was roughly 0.6x. Free cash flow reached nearly $9.9 billion in fiscal 2025. Advanced Micro Devices designs high-performance computing products including server processors and artificial intelligence accelerators for data centers. The company divested its data center manufacturing business in late 2025.
