Street View: Adobe could drive growth with AI monetization
** Photoshop maker Adobe ADBE.O forecast Q4 earnings below analysts' estimates on Thursday, signaling stiff competition and soft demand for its AI-integrated editing tools amid challenging economic conditions
** Median PT of 39 brokerages covering the stock is $637.50 - LSEG
FUNDAMENTALS REMAIN STRONG
** Bernstein ("outperform", PT: $644) says while one-off factors can explain ADBE's weaker Q4 forecast, company's business remains fundamentally strong and is in good seat to monetize AI
** J.P.Morgan ("overweight," PT: $580) says it continues to lean favorably on Adobe fundamentals with its fairly durable growth rates, incremental AI monetization opportunities, and largely favorable customer and partner checks
** D.A. Davidson ("buy," PT: $685): "Over the longer term user and usage trends present monetization opportunities that we believe are undervalued by investors"
** Jefferies ("buy," PT: $700) believes FY25 could be the year of monetization as it expects to see usage limits enforced and as ADBE expects to charge for video generative AI shortly after general availability
