On June 12, Adobe declined 4.95% overnight, trading at $207.0/share, with turnover of $79,200. Despite delivering a beat-and-raise quarter, dual executive departures triggered significant selling pressure.
Adobe reported fiscal Q2 revenue of $6.62 billion, up 13% year-over-year and above the consensus estimate of $6.45 billion. Adjusted EPS came in at $5.96, beating the $5.82 estimate by 2.4%. The company raised full-year revenue guidance by $500 million to $26.5-$26.6 billion and issued Q3 guidance well above Street expectations. AI-priority product ARR tripled year-over-year, exceeding $500 million by quarter-end.
However, CFO Dan Durn announced his departure effective June 15, with SVP of corporate finance Stevy Day serving as interim CFO. Combined with CEO Shantanu Narayen's previously announced plan to step down after 18 years, the dual leadership vacuum raised concerns over strategic continuity. Analysts noted the executive exits eclipsed an otherwise solid quarter. Adobe shares have fallen approximately 37% year-to-date and are hovering near seven-year lows amid persistent worries over AI-driven self-cannibalization of traditional businesses including Adobe Stock.
