Adobe's Creative and Marketing revenues surge 12% to $4.39B driven by AI adoption

Adobe's Creative and Marketing Professionals segment grew 12% year-over-year to $4.39 billion in first-quarter fiscal 2026, driven by AI adoption and subscription strength. Creative Cloud freemium monthly active users surpassed 80 million, up over 50% annually, whilst generative credit consumption through Firefly surged 45% quarter-over-quarter. The company's enterprise digital experience business showed strong momentum, with GenStudio and Adobe Experience Platform each growing over 30% in annual recurring revenue. Adobe's remaining performance obligations reached $22.22 billion. However, Adobe faces significant competition from Microsoft and Alphabet in AI. Microsoft reported $625 billion in remaining performance obligations and 15 million Microsoft 365 Copilot paid seats, whilst Alphabet's AI Overview feature now reaches 2 billion monthly users.

Oracle, Adobe rally as AI peace hopes lift battered software sector down 23% YTD

Software stocks rallied on hopes for a US-China trade deal, with Oracle and Adobe leading gains. However, the sector remains under pressure this year amid fears that AI tools from OpenAI and Anthropic could enable customers to build software faster and potentially displace vendors. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF is down over 23% year-to-date, with average sales multiples falling from 9x to 6x. A record $25 billion in software-sector leveraged loans now trade at distressed levels, raising concerns about private credit markets where the sector is a major borrower. Some firms are monetising AI successfully — ServiceNow's Now Assist product reached $600 million in annual contract value in Q4 2025. Yet deteriorating valuations could trigger a credit crisis through "shadow defaults" and forced fund withdrawals, with potential spillover to banks increasingly exposed to private credit.

BTIG initiates Adobe and Figma with Neutral ratings on AI growth concerns

BTIG has initiated coverage of Adobe and Figma with Neutral ratings, citing strong market positions but uncertainty around AI-driven growth sustainability. Adobe, which generated approximately $24 billion in revenue in FY25, faces concerns about generative AI's impact on Creative Cloud, which accounts for roughly 60% of revenue. Despite resilient growth and strong margins, Adobe shares have fallen about 55% over five years as questions emerge around pricing power and competition. Figma has achieved over $1 billion in FY25 run-rate revenue with 41% growth, pioneering UI/UX design. BTIG noted strong early adoption of its AI-powered "Make" features but said monetisation potential remains unclear in the near term. Both companies demonstrate solid fundamentals, but AI's long-term impact on revenues and margins remains ambiguous.

Adobe launches free AI study tool Acrobat Spaces for students

Adobe has launched Acrobat Spaces, a free AI-powered study tool designed for students. The platform allows users to upload PDFs, documents, PowerPoint files, URLs, handwritten notes and transcripts to generate flashcards, mind maps, quizzes, podcasts and editable presentations. Available on a separate URL without requiring login, Acrobat Spaces competes with tools like Google's NotebookLM, Goodnotes and Turbo AI. Students can also access an AI assistant to ask questions, with responses grounded in uploaded documents to reduce errors. Adobe developed the product by testing it with 500 students from universities including Harvard, Berkeley and Brown. Charlie Miller, VP of Education at Adobe, said the company aims to create a one-stop shop for reading and material creation, eliminating the need to move documents between different platforms.
