Adobe has been downgraded three times in three weeks, with Citi lowering its rating to Sell and setting a $207 price target. The downgrades stem from concerns over slowing Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) growth, increasing competition from AI-native companies, and rising costs related to AI development. Despite Adobe's 13% revenue and earnings growth, the market remains skeptical about its ability to sustain growth beyond 2025, compressing its valuation multiples. Investor Tim Travis suggests a cautious approach by selling cash-secured puts at lower strike prices to build a margin of safety ahead of new CEO guidance. Key risks include weaker ARR growth, unmonetized AI usage, leadership changes, and potential macroeconomic headwinds from Federal Reserve rate hikes impacting software valuations.
