Profit
A company’s earnings represent its profits or net benefits from its operations. Earnings are the net proceeds from the company’s operations. Profit can be calculated as EBIT, i.e. earnings before interest and taxes, and EBITDA, i.e. earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Earnings are a valuable tool for investors in a company’s stock because they can often highlight a company’s financial position and performance. Better performance can lead to a stronger share price

- For the quarter ending May, Wall Street Analysts expect the company to earn $3.79 per share on revenue of $4.77 billion. This is an increase from the previous year’s Q2 results, when earnings were $3.35 per share on revenue of $4.39 billion.
- For the full year ending in November, earnings are expected to rise 12% year-over-year to $15.50 a share, while full-year revenue of $19.3 billion would represent a 9.6% year-over-year increase.
- For the fiscal third quarter, which ends in August, revenue of $4.86 billion is expected, with earnings of $3.88 per share, according to analysts polled by FactSet.
Adobe’s latest forecast for Fiscal November 2023 forecasts non-GAAP earnings of $15.30 to $15.60 per share. That’s in line with analysts’ expectations of $15.50.
Adobe’s primary source of revenue is its two main operating segments: Digital Media and Digital Experience. It accounts for more than 70% of the company’s total revenue.
During the first quarter, Adobe posted a 13% increase in quarterly profit, with first-quarter revenue up 9% to $4.66 billion. Revenue from the company’s digital media segment, which includes Creative Cloud, was $3.4 billion.
The company’s expansion into generative artificial intelligence is an area of interest for investors. Adobe introduced new features like Sensei GenAI and Firefly to improve its product offering and user experience.
Adobe also partnered with Google Bard to expand Firefly’s reach and potentially increase user engagement.
Adobe hit the 50% midpoint
Looking at the daily chart above, the November 2021 all-time high was just below $700. The low price was reached in September 2022 at $275.17. This week, the price extended above the 50% midpoint of that downward move at $487.44. With the latest surge in the major indices, the price is currently back above this mid-level trading at $490.19. Will the price gap on the new trading day tomorrow be higher and outside the 50% retracement level or gap below the 50% retracement level?
Unfortunately, a lot will depend on earnings and probably future expectations.
Gap higher and traders will target $500 and then $537.48 (61.8% retracement)
Conversely, should the price gap narrow instead, the June 8 gap between $440.38 and $453.09 will be targeted as support.
Wells Fargo Securities analyst Michael Turrin upgraded Adobe shares to Overweight and raised his 12-month price target to $525 from $375. The stock closed at $487 today.
