Adobe stock drops 7% as internal CEO named just before earnings amid AI concerns

Adobe announced Anil Chakravarthy as its new CEO effective December 1, just days before its fiscal Q3 earnings report, causing the stock to fall 7%. Investors are cautious due to ongoing concerns about how generative AI might impact Adobe's core creative software business. Chakravarthy, with a strong background in enterprise data and marketing software, faces pressure to clarify Adobe's AI strategy during the upcoming earnings call. Meanwhile, Workday shares also fell 4%, reflecting sector sentiment rather than company-specific issues. Adobe's Q3 results on September 10 will be closely watched for signs of AI-driven growth or challenges.
