The company expects next year’s Q1 EPS to come in around $3.35 with a revenue of $4.23B – with analysts expecting profits of $3.39 a share on sales of $4.33B. Following the dissatisfying results, sellers took hold of the market, pushing price down towards 6-month lows.
However, this could act as nothing more than a retracement for Adobe stock. Still posting a record annual revenue of $15.79B for 2021 at a growth rate of 23%, Adobe is still on track for long-term success – with an established foundation in a rapidly growing sector. Adobe estimates its addressable market could expand to around $205B by 2024 – a sector that investors won’t want to glaze over.
