Adobe posts record $6.76B Q3 revenue but stock dips on slower recurring revenue growth

Adobe reported a record third quarter revenue of $6.76 billion, up 13%, with non-GAAP earnings rising 15% to $6.13 per share and a strong 44% operating margin. Despite these gains, Adobe's stock fell due to a 36-37% decline in net new annual recurring revenue and only an 8% increase in remaining performance obligations, attributed to a strategic shift towards a freemium model. This pivot has grown creative freemium users by 70% to over 100 million and monthly active users beyond one billion. Adobe shares trade at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 10.3, below the sector median of 22.46, leading the analyst to initiate a Buy rating.
