Adobe rides AI momentum but leadership shakeup fuels strategy doubts
TL;DR Summary
Adobe shares fell about 7% in premarket trading after the company said CFO Dan Durn would exit, adding to leadership-change concerns just months after CEO Shantanu Narayen announced plans to step down, with interim CFO Steve Day set to take over. The company beat Q2 revenue expectations thanks to AI tools and raised its full-year outlook, guiding fiscal 2026 revenue to $26.5–$26.6 billion and adjusted EPS to $24.35–$24.45, while AI-first ARR topped $500 million. Investors remain wary about competition from Canva and Figma and how the strategy will evolve under new leadership.
