Why Adobe Systems Is Still A Buy

by Peter Cohan

On September 20, Adobe reported revenues for its fiscal third quarter of $1.46 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 75 cents – exceeding expectations by $100 million and three cents, respectively, according to TheStreet.com.

In addition to beating investor expectations, Adobe raised its forecast for the current quarter to a range between 83 and 89 cents per share — well above the 78 cents that Wall Street expects.

Symbol: ADBE

Share price: $98.79

Market capitalization: $49.2 billion

52-week high/low: $71.27 - $104.16

Estimated earnings per share for the fiscal year ending in November 2016: $2.87

Estimated earnings per share for the fiscal year ending in November 2017: $3.81

Price-earnings ratio: 30

Dividend yield: none

The business: Adobe sells software, such as Photoshop, used by consumers and businesses for graphic design and digital imaging, along with cloud-based services and digital marketing tools.

What will drive growth: Creative types in advertising, media and other fields rely heavily on Adobe software, which faces scant competition in its niche. The firm is also making inroads into web analytics and digital marketing services, and it’s migrating customers to a subscription model for its “Creative Cloud” suite of software products, creating a long and steady revenue stream.

The stock: At 30 times estimated profits, the stock isn’t cheap. But Adobe is growing rapidly. Wall Street analysts see sales climbing 22%, to $7 billion, in the fiscal year that ends in November 2017.

Profits should increase even faster, rising by 33%, a rate of growth that makes the high price-earnings ratio palatable, says brokerage firm Canaccord Genuity.

Although the firm doesn’t see big share-price gains over the near term, Adobe has “the ingredients for an exceptional long-term investment,” Canaccord says.

Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) Remains an Industry Powerhouse

Expect ADBE stock to continue its growth trend for at least a few more years

By Hilary Kramer

Subscription revenue accounted for 78.5% of the total in fiscal 2016, up from 69.4% in 2015, and declining one-time license sales will be less of a drag on the company going forward.

Digital Media ARR (annualized recurring revenue) was up 39.2% to $4.01 billion in fiscal 2016, giving the company a solid base for future growth.

As a powerhouse company for imaging in the digital and e-commerce age, expansion for ADBE should continue to be strong for at least another two years.

THIS WORLD-CLASS SOFTWARE COMPANY IS BREAKING OUT

Today's chart highlights a leader in the software business...

Adobe Systems (ADBE) is a $77 billion computer software giant. The company invented the portable document format, better known as the "PDF." Today, it's one of the most common file types used to exchange information on the web. And its Adobe Acrobat and Reader software are mainstays for viewing and modifying these documents.

But Adobe has grown into much more than a PDF company. Two of its other major divisions are its Creativity- and Marketing-Cloud groups. Its Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop applications are extremely popular among graphic designers, architects, and artists. And its Marketing Cloud includes tools businesses use to create and analyze marketing campaigns.

Over the past year, Adobe's sales and profits jumped 23% and 68%, respectively. As you can see below, its shares aren't lagging. They're up nearly 60% over the past year... and recently hit a new all-time high. It's a bull market for this tech giant...

Best S&P Stocks: Adobe (ADBE)

It may be one of the market’s best-kept secrets.

Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ:ADBE), the name behind PDF documents, isn’t just about versatile files anymore.

It’s a full-fledged business tool, offering a graphics creation suite that includes the well-known Photoshop, but also a vast array of platforms that allow companies to ultimately drive more revenue from data they already own.

Best of all, it’s pushing towards more subscription-based, cloud-accessed products. The move sets the stage for reliable revenue growth, and Adobe has already proven it.

Last quarter’s revenue was up 24% year-over-year, and profits were up 65%.

Those numbers are part of a streak that has pushed ADBE stock up 23% just since the end of 2017.

High-Growth Stocks To Buy In July: Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE)

Cloud giant Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ:ADBE) has long been one of my favorite stocks in the market.

This is a 20%-plus revenue growth, 20%-plus earnings growth company with a ton of visibility due to secular growth tailwinds in cloud adoption and mitigated competition in the professional creative solutions space.

That lack of competition also gives Adobe a big runway for price hikes, which creates a powerful long-term margin expansion narrative.

That being said, Adobe stock got slightly ahead of itself from a valuation perspective in mid-June when it was trading above $250. That is why the stock dropped after the Q2 earnings report, despite strong numbers. The valuation was just too big, and needed to normalize lower.

Adobe stock dropped. Then it hit its 50-day moving average, which has served as a strong support for this stock for the past several years. Adobe stock bounced off that 50-day moving average, and is now back to rally mode.

This rally will persist because nothing is wrong with the growth narrative at Adobe. The stock just dropped due to valuation. It came back down, tested a key technical level, and is now rallying again. Thus, July could be a big month for this cloud giant.

Reports to Mark on Your Earnings Calendar: Adobe (ADBE)
Earnings Report Date: Thursday, September 13 after market close

For Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE), the actual numbers in Thursday’s fiscal Q3 report aren’t likely to be all that newsworthy.

Adobe hasn’t missed a single consensus estimate on the top or bottom line in four years. Given that the company clearly is firing on all cylinders, there’s little reason to see that trend changing.

What will be more interesting — for both ADBE and large-cap tech peers — is how the market reacts to more strong numbers. The broader question here is just what valuation the market is willing to assign to an admittedly attractive story.

Few, if any, investors doubt Adobe’s strength as a business. But a 34x forward P/E multiple seems like it might be coming close to pricing in all but the most optimistic scenario.

I wrote last week that Workday (NASDAQ:WDAY) results this week raised a similar question. And WDAY stock fell over 9% on Wednesday despite a “beat and raise” quarter. If ADBE falls despite strong results, that might be a signal that the market’s seemingly endless optimism toward the tech space — and willingness to pay pretty much any price — is starting to be exhausted.

Adobe Systems (ADBE)

Shares of Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE) had come under pressure earlier this month. However, the stock caught up a 10% rip after management reaffirmed guidance for the current year and provided their outlook on 2019.

Suffice to say, investors loved Adobe’s update, which came during its Adobe MAX conference in Los Angeles earlier this month. However, waves of selling in tech stocks have again hit Adobe.

Not that ADBE hasn’t enjoyed monstrous gains, rising 40% over the past year, even when including the current decline.

So why is Adobe a momentum stock to buy? Simply put, it’s the best of the best in its respective category. It’s a must-have for online marketing and graphic design. Instead of one-time sales, the company’s move over to a subscription revenue model has significantly boosted revenue, which has grown 52% over the past three years.

Its cloud-based system has helped add fuel to the fire, as it’s put Adobe into the anointed group of cloud stocks. A significant close below the 200-day is a concern, but if investors can buy near this level, Adobe offers a favorable risk-reward. Shares will be 15% off the highs and have a good chance at finding support.
