BUZZ-<a href="https://laohu8.com/S/ADBE">Adobe</a> falls after <a href="https://laohu8.com/S/MTK">Morgan Stanley</a> rating downgrade to 'equal-weight'

** Shares of Photoshop maker Adobe ADBE.O down 1.5% at $356.5 premarket after Morgan Stanley downgrade

** MS cuts to "equal-weight" from "overweight," slashes PT to $450 from $520 citing AI monetization shortfall

** Brokerage says Adobe's Direct Gen AI monetization has lagged initial investor and MS' expectations, lacks near-term catalysts

** "Limited visibility into size and magnitude of AI-displacement headwinds with consumers, simple marketers, and business users lowers our conviction in the net impact to Creative Cloud and Digital Media growth," MS says

** 27 of 41 brokerages rate stock "buy" or higher, 12 "hold" and 2 "sell" or lower; median PT $460 - data compiled by LSEG
